Just a few weeks ago, netizens had a field day over the White House Christmas decor after Melania Trump unveiled somewhat eerie red topiary trees near a hall that leads to the East Garden Room.
Weeks after Melania Trump’s “bloody” Christmas decor was vilified, fashion magazine Vogue [1] has bashed the White House Christmas portrait tweeted by out by the first lady. The photograph features Donald Trump and his wife happily smiling in a room filled with Christmas trees and decorations.
According to the article, headlined “What’s Up With This Year’s Surreal White House Christmas Portrait?” FLOTUS and POTUS look “almost like cardboard cutout versions of themselves”.
“They are very, very smiley – despite this season of indictments, and the dissolution of their flagrantly fraudulent charity organisation. They are also holding hands, a move that is famously out of character for them”, the author of the article wrote.
Media Research Center Vice President Dan Gainor told Fox News that Vogue’s decision to run the piece and to make the author anonymous was an act of cowardice.
“Notice how no one at Vogue was brave enough to put their name on this utter piece of garbage? This isn’t journalism, its crap. It belongs in the same sewer that Vogue inhabits. Major media have done more to discredit legitimate journalism than anything their critics – even Donald Trump – could ever do”, he said.
Vogue’s article wraps up in a perfect way: “As former Trump White House associates continue to fall like snowflakes on a winter day in the Mueller investigation, the wildly sunny White House Christmas portrait might be another attempt to keep spirits looking bright”.
And Conservative Twitter is furious:
@VOGUE [2] you are the "garbage" and will NEVER pick up your trash again. Why don't you stop the hateful nonsense!!! #FLOTUS [3] is a beauty with class and for you hypocrites to deny that being in "FASHION" well its obvious all political then… #GARBAGEVOGUE [4]https://t.co/OzO3WI9glO [5]

The failing magazine Vogue (which might be pronounced "vog-you" as a play on a certain vulgar expression) trashes Donald and Melania Trump's official Christmas portrait. The childish spineless author of this vile hit piece has not even enough guts to provide a by line

And this isn’t the first time conservatives lashed out at fashion magazines.
Actor James Woods once tweeted, “If the Trumps were Democrats, Melania would be on every cover of every chic women’s magazine in the world every month,” he wrote, along with an old photo of Melania Trump sitting in a blue strapless dress.

Even game show hosted Pat Sajak came to Melania’s defense, “If she were married to someone the media approved of, it would be all Melania, all the time. Every move would be breathlessly recorded and every outfit would be featured in multiple publications. Her intelligence and beauty would be highlighted 24/7.”

During Barack Obama’s eight-year tenure, Michelle Obama graced a total of 12 magazine covers. In addition to appearing on the cover of famous fashion mag Vogue three times, she’s also advocated national interest issues in two Essence magazine features, twice for Time magazine and Glamour magazine, and once for Redbook and Instyle.
