First Lady Dr. Jill Biden appears on the August edition of Vogue, an honor that was never offered to former FLOTUS Melania Trump, and nobody’s more pissed off about it than… Lara Trump?
Lara went on Fox News yesterday to complain about how her mother-in-law, who was a once aspiring model, was snubbed by the iconic fashion magazine despite being the “most beautiful first lady” in all of history.
“It’s too bad that we didn’t have a first lady who was a model, who was incredibly fashionable, who they could put on the cover of Vogue when Donald Trump was in office,” she griped. “Oh wait, we did! It was Melania Trump!”
Lara went on to say that the only reason Dr. Jill is being featured on the cover and Melania never was is “because these people are so obsessed with hating Donald Trump.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“They are so woke that they could not bring themselves to put an incredibly beautiful woman, I would say the most beautiful first lady we ever had, Melania Trump, and probably rivaling Jackie Kennedy’s fashion sense.”
Sounds like the only person obsessed with anything here is Lara. But we digress.
According to Lara, “every first lady” has appeared on the cover of Vogue and Melania was entitled to the same honor but the magazine snubbed her because “they hate him so much.”
“And you know what? I think it really hurt them,” she added. “People very clearly see their bias, they see where they stand now. And I am going to guess that they have lost quite a bit of readership due to the fact that they have taken such a strong political stand.”
As usual, of course, what Lara Trump said was not true.
First, “every first lady” has not appeared on the cover of Vogue. Some have. Others haven’t. But more importantly, Melania was offered a profile in the magazine but she refused to participate when she wasn’t guaranteed the cover, according to her former senior adviser and BFF Stephanie Winston Wolkoff.
Winston Wolkoff, who coincidentally worked at the magazine for several years before getting into politics, claimed in her book Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship With the First Lady that the fashion magazine tried scheduling an Annie Leibovitz photo shoot with Mrs. Trump, but she told them to “Forget it!”
Secretly taped recordings of Melania bitching about Vogue leaked last year. In them, she could be heard saying, “Vogue said, like, oh we want to do a profile. F*ck you profile! I don’t need a profile. Yeah, what I need another profile?”
“It might be a cover. I’m like ‘might be a cover?’ I don’t need. I don’t give a f*ck about Vogue or any magazine.”
Here’s what Twitter is saying about Lara Trump’s televised temper tantrum…
Note to Lara Trump…
The reason First Lady Dr. Jill Biden is on the cover of Vogue, is because she's admired worldwide.
Melania is racist birther and is despised worldwide. Plus, no one cares about your conniption fit considering you stole millions from shelter dogs.
Thx ?

Dear Lara Trump: the vast majority of Americans want nothing to do with anything Trump.
America's just not into you.

Based on the rallies I’ve seen, I don’t think Vogue is on many MAGA’s coffee tables. I think they’ll be fine.

Melania wasn’t on the cover of Vogue because she refused to do interviews.
She did no interviews so she got no covers.@LaraLeaTrump knows this. But great distraction from the crime family business going under because of tax fraud.

Heh Lara Trump
Melania was not snubbed by Vogue. It's just that they only print things of interest. pic.twitter.com/ZzwfKvOqdg— Just~My~Opinion (@KatrinaJBradfo1) July 1, 2021

I heard @LaraLeaTrump was pouting about Jill Biden on #VOGUE -someone forgot to teach her that beauty comes from the inside. #BeBest

Yep. It’s official, just did it just now. You’ve inspired me to subscribe to @voguemagazine, @LaraLeaTrump. Thanks for that insightful and not at all embarrassing rant. pic.twitter.com/DVR5gCXRPz

melania was offered a fashion shoot as well as a piece about her “job” as first lady, but was not guaranteed the cover. it was a possibility, not a guarantee. she declined the offer, saying f*** that to no cover. backfired. no fashion shoot. no interview. screwed djt for less compensation than possible. hooker is no bueno. stupid hooker is worse.

I think describing Melania as someone “who was a once aspiring model” is less accurate than describing her as a prostitute who had some pictures taken of herself.
jcool
trump never referred to her as an “aspiring model” he said she was a “super model” would he lie?
international whore?

Say it out load and after doing a cursory google. Trump supporter….Vogue magazine consumer…
Let’s see Trump do a rally in any city big enough to have a fashion week and see how that goes. So tickled on this one.

Vogue did the right thing for the magazine and the public good by “snubbing” Melania. There must be very few readers or subscribers to Vogue who wanted to see her on the cover (do a Venn Diagram). As for Melania having been a model, just because she won the gold-digger lottery doesn’t mean she was a good model or even a good prostitute, To me, it’s pretty obvious she was bad at both (lay back and think of England). Similarly, just because the guy inherited $400 million from his dad, doesn’t make him worthy.
As for Melania being “incredibly fashionable”, I don’t agree, but I do think the fashion designers who enabled the national nightmare that was/is the Trumps by dressing her and the other Trump women should be held accountable.
No doubt someone in Trump’s PR contingent helped with this blabber: Maybe Lara Trump, who is as dumb as her husband, complaining about this alleged snubbing of the Trumps will help when it comes time to complain about the indictments or other reckonings. Fox News gonna help too.
scotty
Who? No one that matters, cares. Nothing of value was lost.
jcool
i’m thinking lara has a shot at the cover of equine weekly, for horse-faced women that complain.
Roy Moss
Maybe Vogue has a policy not to put Fascist prostitutes on their cover.
Heywood Jablowme
As one of her jackets put it: “I don’t care, do u?”

The cover drives sales. A wrong choice can cost ‘Vogue’ millions.
America voted….Jill 84 million; Melania 78 million
BoomerMyles
trumpf got 74.2 million votes, NOT 78 million.
Phillip
It’s actually irrelevant what you think, Lara and even more so regarding Melania.
mateo
Just remember, Lara: the more you kiss his ass, the deeper that orange stain will go into your lips.

I have been reading Vogue for 40+ years. I have 35+ years of September issues.
Nobody wants to see a washed up hooker who married a gameshow host on the cover.
Mack
The “most beautiful First Lady”, lol. She was the most plastic First Lady ever and of course the only one to grace a stripper pole or appear in a lesbian tryst on film.
Hdtex
This slatternly parasite was NEVER a “model”. The photos we’ve all seen are soft porn shots agencies circulate to procure johns.
cuteguy
Vogue doesn’t have a gold digger edition, that’s why Melania never was offered. Is there a hustler magazine she can do a spread for?
BoomerMyles
She already did.
Tombear
I don’t get it! Just call me Rose Nylund. I never have thought Melania was beautiful. She looks like she has had too much plastic surgery. I actually think, for her age, and the kindness of her heart Jill Biden is one of the most beautiful First Ladies next to Jackie Kennedy that we have ever had. Bottom line I would more likely buy a Vogue with Jill on the cover than Melania. Looking at Melania’s face makes me feel weird. It doesn’t look natural.
butchqueen
Look at the OBVIOUS tweaks she has done between first meeting that manatee and now.
BoomerMyles
Vogue could have featured the naked photo shoot she did with another woman.
I don’t care, do you?

Lara : You’re a NOBODY and no one cares.. You’re just an accessory in your husbands world, you deluded hack !!!
JB
Every other FLOTUS has been on the cover of Vogue??? I guess I must have missed those issues featuring Martha Washington, Abigail Adams, Dolly Madison, Letitia Tyler, Sarah Polk, etc., etc.
