Donald Trump may have sprung to his wife’s defense, calling out the magazines that hadn’t offered her a cover, but it seems he was more fazed than Melania Trump was.
Speaking to Megyn Kelly, Trump pointed out that his political rise had coincided with his wife’s career coming crashing down. He also said that he found the situation sad — particularly because Melania and Vogue editor Anna Wintour had previously had a great relationship. However, he doubled down that when it came to Melania herself, she wasn’t bothered. And, this isn’t an instance where we’d have to take his word for it.

As was revealed in a leaked conversation with former advisor Stephanie Winston Wolkoff (who, per the New York Times, Melania had met in the lead-up to her 2005 Vogue cover), being featured in a magazine was the last thing on her mind. Especially, it would seem, if said feature didn’t guarantee a cover. Speaking to Wolkoff about the conversation she’d had, where the magazine offered a profile, and possibly a cover shoot, she complained, “Might be a cover? I don’t need — I don’t give a f*** about Vogue, and any magazine” (via NBC News).
