Newsom Trolls Melania Trump With Mock Vanity Fair Cover [View all]

The meme-happy governor targeted the president’s wife with his own pretend cover shot.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom couldn’t resist trolling first lady and former model Melania Trump after Vanity Fair’s reported plans for a first lady cover magazine.

A fake cover of Melania wearing a crown circulated online—headlined “The American Queen” and teasing “Fashion, power & the art of saying nothing”—as part of the social media storm surrounding the idea.

Newsom posted his own parody, crowning himself “The American King.” He promoted his “vocal revolution,” a nod to his scorched-earth social media war with the Trump administration. The spoof also teased, “Hair, Gel and the Art of Being So Handsome.”

“AN HONOR! THANK YOU!!!” his press office joked on X, using President Donald Trump’s all-caps style.

The gag came after Semafor reported that Vanity Fair’s new editor, Mark Guiducci, who Condé Nast kingmaker Anna Wintour handpicked, was weighing a Melania cover to broaden the magazine’s reach to conservatives.
