Newsom Trolls Melania Trump With Mock Vanity Fair Cover

[Zorro]

The meme-happy governor targeted the president’s wife with his own pretend cover shot.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom couldn’t resist trolling first lady and former model Melania Trump after Vanity Fair’s reported plans for a first lady cover magazine.

A fake cover of Melania wearing a crown circulated online—headlined “The American Queen” and teasing “Fashion, power & the art of saying nothing”—as 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 Trump’s all-caps style.

The gag came after Semafor reported that Vanity Fair’s new editor, Mark Guiducci, who Condé Nast kingmaker Anna Wintour handpicked, was weighing a Melania cover to broaden the magazine’s reach to conservatives.

Well, maybe that's not so hard for her, or for GOPhers/MAGAts.

5. They do that

and I will cancel my subscription! I've kept it up because they have run some really good stories, but Melanoma on the cover would be the end for me.

into mostly celebrity worship.

8. Lordy does the fake Melania VF cover look "hard?" or what? Definitely consistent with that

term for a severe and unpleasant person we try not to use (and I would agree) because it is so often used against women... But, the term came to mind, sorry...

14. The new VF editor must be a moron

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?

15. to broaden the magazine's reach to conservatives

who Condé Nast kingmaker Anna Wintour handpicked, was weighing a Melania cover to broaden the magazine’s reach to conservatives.

Figures..that horrible Wintour person was a big booster of the fur industry.
Shame on VF. Makes me appreciate Salon Mag even more for their staunchly anti Trump editorial crew. Chauncey DeVega, Amanda Marcotte, Andrew O’Hehir have really been pulling their weight instead of test-driving lame shit like this.
