  • Twitter users wondered why Dr. Anthony Fauci was on a magazine cover when Melania Trump has not been featured so far
  • Fauci is InStyle's cover model for its September issue
  • One netizen claimed that Melania hasn't been featured on magazine covers because she's not a Democrat

Twitter users have mixed reactions to Dr. Anthony Fauci’s magazine cover and Melania Trump’s lack of it.

InStyle Magazine has just revealed that the expert on infectious diseases is the model for its September issue. Meanwhile, the FLOTUS who is an epitome of grace and fashion for many, has never appeared on any magazine cover. This prompted Twitter users to react to Fauci scoring a magazine cover ahead of Melania.

“How did Anthony Fauci end up on the cover of InStyle magazine before Melania Trump?” Charlie Kirk wrote on Twitter.

His post received various reactions from Twitter users, with some approving of Fauci’s magazine cover and others saying it’s okay for Melania to not appear on magazine covers.

“It's not a liberal plot, they just want to sell magazines and she's... just someone. Her only accomplishment in life is marrying Trump, after all,” one commented.

“Because he has style and it’s not a smut magazine,” @flopp2024 added.

“Well, most likely because Melania Trump (Laughter) has nothing to offer them, while Doctor Fauci can speak to the fears and concerns their readers must ALL now have after the [virus] has raged across the failed red states,” @Hqdepot1 opined.

On the other hand, many also rooted for Melania on social media.

“She's beautiful and elegant and would be a credit to any magazine smart enough to feature her,” @TypsyGypsyDance commented.

“Because physical media is dead, and the only way they can have a chance to remain relevant is to become political, usually on the left,” @Cincydan11 added.

“She wouldn’t stoop to a low rent trash bag magazine like that,” @pickle_licker_ wrote.

Meanwhile, in December, an open letter published on Mercury News mentioned the bad treatment the FLOTUS experienced from the press. According to the author of the letter, Melania has more grace and poise than any first ladies, but she doesn’t appear on magazine covers because she is a Republican.

“If she were a Democrat, she would be on the cover of every fashion magazine, but since her husband, Donald Trump, is our president, they treat her just awful,” the letter read.
