Melania Trump stars on the cover of Vanity Fair Mexico. Yes, Mexico
Just one day after President Donald Trump announces he really was serious about building a wall on the Mexico border comes a magazine cover that no one could have predicted.
New First Lady, Melania Trump, is the latest cover star of Vanity Fair Mexico. You read that right.
Appearing on the front of the magazine’s February issue, Melania seems to be flaunting her wealth by eating some rather expensive-looking jewellery.
The cover line explains how Melania deals with her husband (very good question) along with how she may become the next Jackie Kennedy.
The photograph and accompanying interview aren’t new. They actually appeared in GQ last spring. But the inclusion of Melania on a Mexican publication in the midst of tense times between the two countries is strange to say the least.
Mexicans have been taking to social media to express their dismay at the cover, calling it “a humilitation” for the country and its people.
On Wednesday, Trump signed an executive order that will begin plans for building a wall on the US border with Mexico. He also signed another order to substantially increase the number of border patrol enforcement officers along the border.
As with every major decision he makes or thought he has, Trump was very vocal on Twitter, saying “it would be better to cancel” a planned meeting with Mexico’s President Enrique Peña Nieto.

of jobs and companies lost. If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting.

His calls were answered as the Mexican President then also took to Twitter to announce that he had cancelled the scheduled meeting with Trump.
Mexico’s former President, Vicente Fox Quesada, went even further on social media regarding the wall, telling Trump: “Mexico is not going to pay for that f**king wall.”
Sean Spicer, I’ve said this to @realDonaldTrump and now I’ll tell you: Mexico is not going to pay for that fucking wall. #FuckingWall

Looks like the new President’s popularity won’t be rising any time soon.
