Fans of former First Lady Melania Trump reacted angrily after Vice President Kamala Harris was bestowed a digital Vogue cover from the fashion magazine.
The cover was revealed Friday morning as the magazine’s social media accounts published the cover online. The package was compete with a glowing profile of Harris on the campaign trail featuring photos by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz.
That struck supporters of Melania Trump as deeply unfair, as the glamorous First Lady never got a Vogue profile or cover while her husband was president or even upon the recent release of her new memoirs.
‘Imagine. Vogue – a now silly, decrepit shell of what it once was – has never put the most glamorous woman in America on its cover, Melania Trump,’ wrote conservative author Pamela Geller. ‘But this heavily photoshopped skank gets an election cover as did Jill Biden, Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, Jacinda Ardern.’
Harris was put on the cover of Vogue twice, once when she was first elected vice president and now again as she runs for president.
‘Melania is still way prettier, in fact she the most beautiful FLOTUS ever,’ wrote X user Kyle Holte. ‘Also, she didn’t lie to the American people for 4 years about Biden’s dementia. And Melania didn’t oversee the invasion of America like this creature did. Maybe use a little more DISCERNMENT next time.’
‘No respect for the Vogue cover since failing to cover Melania…. sorry,’ wrote Theresa DeLuca on X.
‘First Lady Melania Trump has been in the public eye in a major way since 2015 and never once was put on the cover of Vogue,’ wrote Ada Lluch Mannarino on social media. ‘She is an actual fashion model published globally.’
‘In four years, Melania Trump (who is gorgeous) was never on the cover of Vogue once. This ugly, empty-headed nunce has been on it twice, how,’ wrote X user Just Donna,
Other Trump supporters speculated that the Vogue cover could indicate portending doom for Harris recalling that Jill Biden got a Vogue cover right before her husband abandoned his reelection campaign for president.
‘Remember the last time Vogue featured Dr. Jill on the cover?’ asked Andrew Fisher. ‘Just days later, Joe was out Is this what they call the Vogue curse?’
In 2022, Melania Trump was asked by Fox and Friends Pete Hegseth to react to the obvious bias of the magazine, noting that she had both a modeling and business career on top of being the First Lady to earn her a profile from the fashion magazine.
‘They’re biased. They have likes and dislikes, and it’s so obvious and I think the American people and everyone see it,’ Melania Trump replied. ‘It was their decision and I have much more important things to do and I did in the WH than be on the cover of Vogue.’
