Michelle Obama got the coveted cover three times, Melania wont even get it once
Melania Trumps spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham hit back Friday at Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintours choice to not feature the first lady on its cover.
To be on the cover of Vogue doesnt define Mrs. Trump, shes 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. <...>

(60,010 posts)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"

(16,481 posts)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
(14,153 posts)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.

(45,771 posts)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.

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 theyre taking on issues we support them in the fact that we feel that they are leaders.

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