Melania Trump ‘laughed’ at Vanity Fair offer, rejected magazine: sources

Vanity Fair staffers flipping out at the prospect of First Lady Melania Trump gracing the cover can rest easy.

She’s not the slightest bit interested.

A fashion source familiar with the First Lady’s thinking says she “laughed” at the Vanity Fair request in July and rejected it immediately.

“She doesn’t have time to be sitting in a photo shoot. Her priorities as First Lady are far more important… These people don’t deserve her anyway.”

The magazine’s new global editorial director Mark Guiducci tried to woo Mrs. Trump back in July but when his employees found out this week they threatened to quit their jobs.

“’If [Guiducci] puts Melania on the cover, half of the editorial staff will walk out, I guarantee it.” a mid–level editor told the Daily Mail on Monday.

“I will walk out the motherf***ing door, and half my staff will follow me… If I have to work bagging groceries at Trader Joe’s, I’ll do it… It sickens me.”

The snobbish staffer would probably make more money at Trader Joe’s than the slave wages paid by Conde Nast, an ailing publishing company which has been nothing but “Conde Nasty” to Mrs. Trump and her family since she first entered the East Wing in 2017. 

Haughty Anna Wintour famously snubbed the former model for the cover of Vogue while plastering less elegant First Ladies all over the magazine multiple times. 

But Mrs. Trump has no need for such low-rent validation. She is her own fashion-plate every day. 

In any case, she is busy with multiple projects, including “Fostering the Future” to support children in foster care, and her “Be Best” initiative from the first term, which aims to combat cyberbullying and opioid abuse. She also successfully championed the “Take It Down” Act, which requires social media platforms to remove non-consensual intimate images. 

This week saw her take on a new role leading the Presidential Artificial Intelligence Challenge to inspire children to embrace AI technology. 

With her multilingual European background and geopolitical nous, she is also a valuable sounding board for her husband in foreign affairs. 

During recent peace talks with Russia and Ukraine, she penned a heartfelt personal letter to Vladimir Putin, which President Trump hand-delivered to the Russian leader before their summit in Alaska.

Addressing him as “Dear President Putin”, she wrote: “It is time” to protect children and future generations around the globe.

“In protecting the innocence of these children, you will do more than serve Russia alone — you serve humanity itself.”

Meanwhile, she has been working on a documentary for Amazon, as well as writing a best-selling memoir and an accompanying AI-powered audiobook.

“She’s way above doing Vanity Fair,” laughed the source. 

“She’s been nothing but kind and works hard… She has her priorities straight.”
