The meme-happy governor targeted the presidents wife with his own pretend cover shot.California Gov. Gavin Newsom couldnt resist trolling first lady and former model Melania Trump after Vanity Fairs reported plans for a first lady cover magazine.
A fake cover of Melania wearing a crown circulated onlineheadlined The American Queen and teasing Fashion, power & the art of saying nothingas part of the social media storm surrounding the idea.
Newsom posted his own parody, crowning himself The American King. He promoted his vocal revolution, a nod to his scorched-earth social media war with the Trump administration. The spoof also teased, Hair, Gel and the Art of Being So Handsome.
AN HONOR! THANK YOU!!! his press office joked on X, using President Donald Trumps all-caps style.
The gag came after Semafor reported that Vanity Fairs new editor, Mark Guiducci, who Condé Nast kingmaker Anna Wintour handpicked, was weighing a Melania cover to broaden the magazines reach to conservatives.

(12,581 posts)If he thinks conservatives would ever read VANITY FAIR. All he'd do is piss off VF's entirely liberal readership.
Grayson Carter, VF's longtime former editor, hates Trump with a white-hot passion.Isn't he the one who first described Trump as a short-fingered vulgarian?
