Michelle Obama made the cover of many fashion magazines. Melania Trump, one of the best dressed first ladies ever has not. I maintain that the only reason (it certainly can't be that she is not attractive enough) that she is absent from those same publications is the racisism of the press. They hate sucessfujl white people, because they "stole" their wealth from the minorities. There can not be any other reason.

I don't know if you can call it racism but it certainly is prejudiced because of radical left agenda as most media outlets are. They have shown Michelle Obama wearing some of the most ugly fashions that I've ever seen and you don't see many comments from the news outlets. But when Melania Trump wears something like boots while visiting troops overseas, they make a big deal of it and for no good reason. She was being most practical and the lefty news couldn't see or report that.

I wouldn’t say racist; they just don’t like Trump

Media Matters doesn't allow magazines to put her on their cover.

Their business is selling magazines. Michelle was loved, Melania, not so much.
It's a business decision, not a racist one. You put on your cover, that which sells magazines.

Well, one possible reason is that the magazines are controled by liberals and they don't want to give any positive press to anyone Trump.

And here I thought only libs played premature race cards...

I assume you were tongue in cheek.

If these magazines are serious about making money, they'd make a deal with Lord Bigly for the rest of the naked Melania pics.

You might have a point there but we've already seen her naked so no big deal.
Maybe Ivanka should try it.

Michelle was loved? You have got to be kidding. approximately 50 percent of the country supported Obama and roughly the same supports Trump. They are both more or less equally loved and hated. Just because you loved Michelle doesn't mean that the rest of us do.

Anyone who would say that the first time they were ever proud of their country was when their husband was elected president is not someone that I would love.

It's primarily due to the fact that the fashion industry is typically left-leaning and many designers have shunned Melania. There are other reasons of course.

If true, Melania alienated herself. Let's face it, the "I don't really care" jacket was not the smartest move she could make.
Personally, even with all her plastic surgery, she still lacks sex appeal.

Well, we all have our level of tolerance for what is or is not sex appeal. A lot of women, particularly those in the public eye have had plastic surgery. Some of it works out well, i.e., Melania. Some does not, i.e., Nanny Pelosi.
