First Lady Melania Trump has always been known for her elegance, independence, and a clear sense of priorities. So when she was reportedly approached to appear on the cover of Vanity Fair this summer, her reaction came as no surprise to those close to her: she laughed and instantly turned it down.<\/p>\n
According to Page Six, global editorial director Mark Guiducci tried to woo Melania into the coveted spot, but the First Lady wasn\u2019t interested in playing cover star.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe doesn\u2019t have time to be sitting in a photo shoot. Her priorities as First Lady are far more important,\u201d a source told the outlet. \u201cThese people don\u2019t deserve her anyway. She\u2019s way above doing Vanity Fair.\u201d<\/p>\n
A First Lady with her priorities straight<\/p>\n
The rejection underscores what many admirers say makes Melania stand out from her predecessors: her focus on substance over spectacle.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s been nothing but kind and works hard,\u201d the source added. \u201cShe has her priorities straight.\u201d<\/p>\n
While some staffers inside Vanity Fair reportedly threatened to quit if Melania landed the cover, those close to the First Lady say she never gave the offer a second thought. For her, there are more important things to do than strike a pose, from leading her new Presidential AI Challenge for kids to continuing her advocacy on children\u2019s online safety.<\/p>\n
Fox News defends Melania<\/p>\n
The story quickly caught the attention of Fox & Friends, where co-host Brian Kilmeade slammed the magazine insiders\u2019 backlash as petty.<\/p>\n
You should be fired if you are not exposed,\u201d Kilmeade said of the employee who threatened to walk out. \u201cIf you\u2019re at Vanity Fair right now, walk around and look for a mid-level editor that sounds angry, and toss them out and send them to Trader Joe\u2019s. Trader Joe\u2019s has standards.\u201d<\/p>\n
Co-host Ainsley Earhardt also jumped in, pointing out the double standard. \u201cYou had Michelle Obama on Vogue several times, you had Jill Biden on Vogue several times. You had Hillary Clinton inside the magazine. No Melania after she became First Lady!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
