Friends of Melania Trump have their claws out for Anna Wintour’s “Condé Nasty,” they say, after Vogue dissed the first lady with a scathing fashion op-ed.
Bill White — a friend of Melania, as well as Donald Trump’s nominee for US Ambassador to Belgium — said of the first lady, “We love and adore her. We have cancelled all our subscriptions to Condé NASTY. I encourage everyone who loves America to do the same.”
Condé Nast’s fashion bible, Vogue, sneered of Trump’s official White House pic, “Trump looked more like she was guest starring on an episode of ‘The Apprentice’ than assuming the role of first lady of the United States,” and, “more like a freelance magician than a public servant.” Ouch!
White also told us that Trump is, “truly elegant and eloquent in all she says and does. Mrs. Trump is our most beautiful first lady… in our country’s history, both inside and out. She is a loving mother to her fabulous son Barron and an extraordinary wife and life partner to our 47th president.”
He also said, “She speaks over seven languages fluently, and is an incredibly strategic and successful businesswoman.”
The Vogue piece also said that Trump’s latest new photo was a step up from her 2017 White House portrait with her face “airbrushed into oblivion.”
Before the pic diss, Melania, 54, recently said in an interview that she has “no interest” in appearing on Vogue’s illustrious cover, telling “Fox & Friends” host Brian Kilmeade: “Look, I’ve been there on the covers — on the cover of Vogue, on the covers of many magazines before… We have so many other important things to do than to be on the cover of any magazine. I think that life would not change for anybody if I’m on the cover.”
Another MAGA loyalist told us: “She knew she wasn’t going to get a cover. Half the fashion designers won’t dress her. She doesn’t give a s–t.”
The insider added of Trump and the fashion world, “The first time around, she got no covers of any major magazines. It’s behind her. The media always destroys her and its what she’s gone through for eight years.”
The source added of all the epithets that have been hurled at Melania and her husband, “they don’t care they call her a ‘magician’… Magician might have been the nicest thing they have said about her.”
Meanwhile, the Mar-A-Lago crowd thinks second lady Usha Vance should be on Vogue’s cover.
Wintour has not yet commented publicly on the controversy.
Vogue featured former first lady Jill Biden on its cover last year.
