<p>Vanity Fair may go ahead with a magazine cover featuring First Lady Melania Trump in the coming months — but only if the feat can be pulled off before all the disgruntled employees walk out the door.</p>
<p>According to a <a href="https://www.semafor.com/article/08/24/2025/vanity-fairs-new-cruise-director-will-have-to-choose-between-his-reporters-and-his-friends">report</a> published by Semafor on Sunday, the magazine&#8217;s new global editorial director Mark Guiducci had indicated a desire to put the first lady on the cover — but as The Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/media/article-15032959/Vanity-Fair-Melania-Trump-cover.html">reported</a> a day later, his staffers may not be entirely onboard with his plan.</p>
<p>&#8220;I will walk out the motherf***ing door, and half my staff will follow me,&#8221; one editor told the outlet.</p>
<p>Another staffer who did not give a name appeared to be in agreement, adding, &#8220;We are not going to normalize this despot and his wife; we’re just not going to do it. We’re going to stand for what’s right. If I have to work bagging groceries at Trader Joe’s, I’ll do it. If [Guiducci] puts Melania on the cover, half of the editorial staff will walk out, I guarantee it.&#8221;</p>
<p>One employee told The Daily Mail that the outrage was likely to amount to little more than a few loud complaints and protests, saying that it wasn&#8217;t likely many would actually sacrifice their careers to make a political statement about who was on the magazine&#8217;s cover.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_campaign=summer&amp;utm_content=editorialsummersale&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener">End of Summer Sale – Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It’s all talk. If they put her on the cover, people will protest and gripe about it, but I don’t see anyone quitting such a prestigious job over that. Honestly, there will be people who push back, but it’s ultimately Mark’s decision. He’s the one who will sink or swim over that choice, not the rest of us.&#8221;</p>
<p>The first lady may not mind if she never makes it to the cover, however, if her <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/08/26/media/vanity-fair-employees-lash-out-over-proposed-melania-trump-cover/?utm_campaign=nypost&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter">last comments on the subject</a> still stand. When the magazine passed over her for a cover during Trump&#8217;s first administration — despite featuring former First Lady Michelle Obama on several occasions — she brushed off questions about it and said that it wasn&#8217;t important.</p>
<p>&#8220;Look, I’ve been there on the covers — on the cover of Vogue, on the covers of many magazines before,&#8221; Trump said, referencing her days as a model and then as Trump&#8217;s wife prior to him running for president. &#8220;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.&#8221;</p>
