Vogue Magazine Refuses to Have Melania Trump on Their Cover -- and Melania's Camp is Furious About it

[tishaLA]

Michelle Obama got the coveted cover three times, Melania won’t even get it once

Melania Trump’s spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham hit back Friday at Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour’s choice to not feature the first lady on its cover.

“To be on the cover of Vogue doesn’t define Mrs. Trump, she’s been there, done that long before she was First Lady,” Grisham shared in a statement.

“Her role as First Lady of the United States and all that she does is much more important than some superficial photo shoot and cover,” she added. “This just further demonstrates how biased the fashion magazine industry is, and shows how insecure and small-minded Anna Wintour really is.”

Grisham continued, “Unfortunately, Mrs. Trump is used to this kind of divisive behavior.” <...>

1. Been there done that???

[tishaLA]

2. Her spokeswoman may have confused Vogue with Penthouse

Or Mail Order Bride

[Wellstone ruled]

5. Or Hustler.

Nah,Flynn has a little class.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

55. Or "White Trash" magazine

[3catwoman3]

79. This would seem to be the proper publication...

...for a cover shoot of Melania.

And that was a real magazine? Not a photo shop? Yeesh!

[fierywoman]

38. I think she was on the cover in her wedding gown when she married

the Prince of Wails.

[mr_lebowski]

50. LOL ... e'eryone knows the word is spelled 'Whales'!?!

(I did get your joke, btw )

[fierywoman]

73. (thank you!)

[malaise]

3. They can beg to have her on every magazine on the planet

She will never be Jackie

Damn these are low life folks

[MBS]

42. isn't it amazing?! n/t

[dixiegrrrrl]

80. For somebody who does not care

that spokesperson's statement had a lot of poutage in it.

[malaise]

81. They not only care

They are obsessed with being seen in the 'right' publications - don't forget that the Con had his fake Time cover.
I detest them

[dixiegrrrrl]

92. What seems to be missing in the report

is WHO suggested/asked for/demanded/ whatever for her to be included in the first place?

It's not like the magazine called HER up and said "We will never have you on our cover, neener neener"

and while I have your attention....did you notice that suddenly the women in his cult are now wearing wide belts on their outfits? Looks like Melanie is trying to be a fashion statement leader.
Wrong fashion, tho, it just reaches out and smacks your eyeballs with "eeeeccchh"

[malaise]

93. Please

Why the man who used to pick the material to decorate his trash properties

[Iliyah]

4. t-rump will sic Barr on them . . .

[Norbert]

47. I feel a lawsuit coming on.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. I don't think Vogue publishes naked cover photos.

[NCjack]

69. Maybe they should. Vogue could contact plagueboy-#45 and request a few of

those he has held back just for himself.

[snowybirdie]

7. Weve all

Seen all of her.

[struggle4progress]

8. The Grisham quotes seem to be from April, not the day before yesterday

[Fozzledick]

48. Malaria? Melanoma?

[hlthe2b]

10. ...

Anna Wintour scores one for a world where truth matters...

[trueblue2007]

11. WAY TO GO Vogue magazine !! TOUGH LUCK MRS. TRUMP ..... You should not have been a racist birther.

Or a slutty naked model ........ You're a horrible role model Malaria.

[pangaia]

12. The old 'failing and down and out Vogue..'

[Solly Mack]

13. Be best! and get the fuck over it.

She was on the cover when she married Trump. She made it by marrying a known figure.

As to her own merits...

[MaryMagdaline]

14. I don't really care, do you?

[ProudLib72]

15. WTF has FLOTITS done to deserve being on the cover of anything but MAD magazine?

She can get her kidneys enlarged and get naked, but it does not make her cover worthy.

[GoCubsGo]

89. She must be really pissed about this one:

Her husband's daughter-wife beat her to it.

[Skittles]

16. LOL

using the word SUPERFICIAL in defense of the Stepford wife currently pretending to be "First Lady"

[lindysalsagal]

17. ...

It's for CLOTHES, not strippers!!!!!!!

[Jeffersons Ghost]

18. K&R LOL!

So the very 1st First-Lady photographed nude, wants to be a cover-girl again!



Here's the musical future for Teflon Don

[tishaLA]

22. I can't believe some terrible person put a black bar over her kidneys!

She might have to go in to have them worked on again.

32. I wasn't going to do it, but since you were brave enough to post that, there's this, too:

[leftieNanner]

36. Damn!

Those are ugly shoes.

[Retrograde]

59. How does one walk in them?

My feet hurt just looking at them.

[leftieNanner]

61. We used to call crazy shoes like that

"Carry me to the car darling" shoes.

Or to be less polite, "F*** me shoes".

72. I don't care, do u

[George II]

77. bwahahahahaha!!!!

[ooky]

76. Didn't she already do this magazine cover?

[treestar]

82. What is that on her feet/legs?

Some sort of high heel?

[fierywoman]

40. Did you notice the cover: "Sex at 30,000 feet: Melania Knauss earns

her air miles."

[Me.]

20. Blah, Blah Blah, Yawn... Stephanie

[Sneederbunk]

21. Let's face it, she is no Michelle Obama.

[jpak]

24. Maybe Vague magazine will have her

"D

[displacedtexan]

25. I didn't know Vogue had a centerfold.

...

[smirkymonkey]

26. My opinion of Anna Wintour has just been revised upward.

Having Melania on the cover would only cheapen the magazine's image.

[Anon-C]

27. Strike a pose!

[Maxheader]

28. Then I guess its no big deal?

The mag did the 1st a favor, sounds like...

“Her role as First Lady of the United States and all that she does is much more important than some superficial photo shoot and cover,” she added. “This just further demonstrates how biased the fashion magazine industry is, and shows how insecure and small-minded Anna Wintour really is.”

[Totally Tunsie]

29. They're just not that into you, Melania.

Vogue doesn't do "nips" and "ginas".

[George II]

30. She may not get on the cover of Vogue, but she's been on the wing of a trump shuttle....

....half naked brandishing a hand gun.

Which is more prestigious?

[ck4829]

31. "Yeah, that's fine, I didn't want to be in your stupid magazine anyway!"

[Freethinker65]

33. Trump can have his buddy put her on the cover of the National Inquirer instead!

[onecaliberal]

34. Vogue isn't a porn mag, malaria is confused. #BeBest

[Beringia]

37. Sour Grapes

[Johnny2X2X]

39. Use her old photos

The ones where she was fully nude doing simulated sex acts with another fully nude woman. The way her husband has treated homosexuals demands an accounting of her previous stance on gay sex on film.

[MBS]

45. Thank you and all the commenters for this thread.

I desperately needed something to laugh about -and you guys came through in spades.
Just what the doctor ordered.

[AJT]

46. If it doesn't matter then why did they ask?

I'm guessing Michelle Obama was asked by Vogue if she would be on the cover.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

51. Michelle Obama served as FLOTUS with dignity....

Her cover stories were human interest stories on her upbringing, her education choices a d career, her causes, her work on behalf of the Nation, as well as for Fashion.

Melania Trump is not that interesting. Not much to write about. She is hardly in public doing speeches, on the TV shows, visible like Michelle was. All that matters to readers of these publications.

[LiberalLovinLug]

53. "all that she does is much more important than some superficial photo shoot and cover"

And what would that be exactly?

Hows that "Be Best" campaign going? Haven't heard much about it recently.
Before that it was the anti bullying in social media campaign, that sure died quickly.
Her idea to visit the concentration camp children with a jacket that said "I don't care do you?". That sure went over well.

Really, please name this important stuff she is doing. We'd like to know.

[Doreen]

54. Maybe Hustler would put her on their cover.

[no_hypocrisy]

56. Between you and me, this has got to bother Trump more than Melania.

Let me explain.

Trump's adult life has been built upon resentment. Resentment against a variety of elite. Old money. CEOs. Restricted country clubs that wouldn't accept him and his family as members. Not being invited to their parties. Not being offered a seat on their board of directors or trustees. Not even invited to sit on a university board. Frozen out altogether.

He's still seething. Almost insanely angry.

He tried to elevate himself with Marla Maples before and after their marriage. All he got was ridiculous photo spread of her eating grapes out of his hands in Vanity Fair.

Vogue and Anna Wintour are known to be the pinnacle of style and being elite. Wintour has to like you to be on the cover, let alone between the pages.

Trump has to be wild with rage to know that Wintour has purposely snubbed his wife while allowing Michelle Obama on the cover more than once.

And remember those nude shots of Melania for the escort service. By having Wintour put her on the cover, it's kind of erasing Melania's past, the way that nobody calls your child a bastard once you get married.

[orangecrush]

57. Fuck off, Melanoma.

[mountain grammy]

58. Boo fucking hoo, Melanie.

Good for Vogue..taking a stand!!

“If you’re talking about the first lady [Michelle Obama] or Senator [Kamala] Harris, obviously these are women that we feel are icons and inspiring to women from a global perspective,” Wintour responded. “I also feel even more strongly now that this is not a time to try — and I think one has to be fair, one has to look at all sides — but I don’t think it’s a moment not to take a stand.”

“You have to stand up for what you believe in and you have to take a point of view,” she added. “We profile women in the magazine that we believe in the stand that they’re taking on issues we support them in the fact that we feel that they are leaders.”

[delisen]

60. Babies caged in concentration camps vs no Vogue cover for Melania?

Victim of bias if one doesn't get a fawning honorary publicity cover?

Stephanie Grisham could be using her access to save the lives of children but instead plays the latter-day Marie Antoinette.

[LuvNewcastle]

62. Let her start her own magazine: Botox Today.

[world wide wally]

63. She should be used ot it by now, and she will see a lot more of it as long as she is

married to this enemy of humanity.

[sheshe2]

64. They want class..

Not trash.

[Cha]

88. And, humanity..

94. Kick for Vogue!

So Good on Vogue, she!

[Marcuse]

65. As actor Chris Meloni and others are accused of slut shaming recall that...

the deplorables posted fake nudes of the President’s wife and mother. And also remember that the Trumps are without shame and are proud of their careers. That’s how they met.

The cover of pole dancer monthly?

[dflprincess]

71. "Being on the cover of Vogue means so little to me

that I shall put out an official statement so people know how little it means to me. So there, ha-ha."

[llmart]

75. This thread has made my weekend.

I want the entire family shunned, mocked and shown for who they really are until they go away with their tails between their legs knowing that they were despised across the country. I want us to be able to get back to some sense of normalcy because I'm not sure I can take much more of this crap!

The porn star is no First Lady and never will be. My FLOTUS is still Michelle Obama.

[3catwoman3]

78. She's already had plenty of photo...

...spreads. (I am resisting with all my might the temptation to give into the obvious double entendre potential here.)

I'm delighted we will be spared this one.

[Vinca]

84. Bet she could get the cover of "Hustler."

[SoCalDem]
