Pop culture blackout: Melania Trump missing from magazine covers, TV appearances
Few first ladies have been more prepared for their close-ups than Melania Trump.
Yet the former model has not graced the cover of Vogue, Glamour or Cosmopolitan during her husband’s first 20 months in office. Neither has she yukked it up with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel or other late-night TV hosts.
Mrs. Obama appeared on the covers of Vogue (three times), Time, Glamour, Essence, InStyle, Redbook, Cooking Light and O, The Oprah Magazine, among others, during her eight years in the White House.
Mrs. Trump appeared on the covers of British GQ and Vogue before her move to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW.
Even Nancy Reagan flexed her pop culture might when she appeared on NBC’s “Diff’rent Strokes” in 1983 to promote her “Just Say No” anti-drug campaign.
Four late-night TV shows contacted by The Washington Times did not comment on whether Mrs. Trump would be on their shows soon or whether they were open to an appearance by the first lady.
