JILL Biden has secured the Vogue cover Melania Trump always wanted – and used the interview to take a swipe at Donald, calling Joe “calmer.”
The First Lady, wearing a floral Oscar de la Renta dress, will grace the cover of the fashion magazine for the August issue, out on July 20.
Taking aim at the Trumps, Jill told the magazine her husband is “just a calmer president,” adding: “He lowers the temperature.”
The First Lady was pictured this spring overlooking the South Lawn at the White House by photographer Annie Leibovitz.
A second image shows Dr. Jill in the Executive Residence’s East Sitting Hall working at a laptop with a pencil in between her teeth.
A third shows the Bidens cuddling together after the president used the interview to say he “misses” his wife since taking office.
Jill made the cover after a four year First Lady hiatus while Melania Trump held the role.
Michelle Obama made the cover a record three times during her time in the White House.
Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour had called out Trump’s “dishonesty,” and “shocking lack of empathy” ahead of the 2020 election.
And when asked about Melania’s fashion, Wintour pointedly spoke of the former First Lady instead.
She said: “She [Michelle] was the best ambassador that this country could possibly have in many ways, obviously, way beyond fashion.”
Vice President-elect Kamala Harris also appeared on the cover of Vogue‘s February issue.
But that cover was widely panned online with many complaining that the Vogue cover did not “do her justice.”
Vogue sources said at the time that Harris’ clothes, hair, and make-up were decided by her team.
Melania did appear on the cover of Vogue in 2005, shortly after marrying Trump.
But Donald fumed in December 2020 that she has not appeared as First Lady, sharing a tweet which read: “The elitist snobs in the fashion press have kept the most elegant First Lady in American history off the covers of their magazines for 4 consecutive years.”
He called Melania “the greatest of all time.”
