Americans Mock Melania Trump for Claiming She Was ‘Too Busy’ to be on the Cover of Vogue Magazine

Luckily, this is one of those very rare occasions when a Trump speaks the absolute truth, seeing the picture perfectly.

Even more remarkably, it is Melania who might be more “Trump” than even Trump himself. Melania cares about Melania. Got it? She cares about Barron as an extension of herself, even though one is more likely to see Barron’s picture on a milk carton than in the media. But this is about Melania caring about Melania and a very special picture she wanted in the media. She wanted that fcking Vogue cover!!

But, “they’re biased,” says Melania.

Correct. They absolutely, positively, are biased. Vogue is a publication run by people. These people have their principles and beliefs, good or bad, and they lead to biases. It is that very bias that left Melania off the cover. Perhaps they are biased against women associated with a monster amongst women?

Jill Biden was on the cover on Vogue because she was an inspiration. And Vogue wants to sell magazines. And the people who buy Vogue don’t support Melania or the man she is married to.

Regardless, from the Daily Beast:

Former first lady Melania Trump has slammed Vogue editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, for never putting her on the cover when her husband was president, in her first interview since leaving the White House.

Fox Nation host Pete Hegseth raised the topic in his sit down with Melania, noting that first ladies Jill Biden, Michelle Obama, and Hillary Clinton have all appeared on the cover of Vogue and that Vice President Kamala Harris got the honor even before she was sworn in.

They’re biased and they have likes and dislikes, and it’s so obvious. And I think American people and everyone sees it. It was their decision, and I have much more important things to do—and I did in the White House—than being on the cover of Vogue,” Melania said.

Did you get that guys? Melania was simply too busy with such important things to do than sit for a Vogue photoshoot. Mind you, It took her a good 6 months before she even moved to the White House, and based on Stephanie Winston Wolkoff’s book “Melania and Me,” those first six months were pretty much free time. Melania obviously mothered her son Barron, and tried to set up a skeleton staff from her NYC penthouse while everyone else was in Washington DC. I am pretty sure if Vogue had guaranteed her the cover, Melania would have made the time to make it happen. If she had to fly around the earth at light speed like Superman to turn back time to make it happen, the woman would have done it. This is Melania Trump. And Vogue. This was her dream. Fashion was her life and her claims she didn’t care about being in the magazine are just such a transparent lie.

Michelle Obama appeared on the cover of Vogue three times.

Meanwhile, people are wondering what the fffff is going on with Melania’s cheeks, which… are not the same as… we just don’t know:

From Joe.My.God: What’s she done to her cheeks?

Melania being Melania. She will never figure out why people don’t like her.

Twitter had a field day with her claim of being too busy to do the Vogue shoot:
