MAGA influencers amplified a mock Vanity Fair cover showing Melania Trump crowned as 'The American Queen.' The image circulated widely on social media among MAGA supporters before being identified as a fake AI-generated photo produced by the right-wing Next News Network. Next News Network's Gary Franchi admitted generating the image, saying he made it to troll critics and disclaiming the creation. Reports indicated that Vanity Fair staffers reacted angrily to the prospect of a Melania-themed cover, with some reportedly threatening to resign. Prominent conservative figures encouraged supporters to 'meme' the cover into existence and celebrated critics' reactions.
MAGA influencers are loving a mock Vanity Fair cover calling First Lady Melania Trump the United States' queen, with some suggesting they should meme the fake image into existence. An image of Melania Trump wearing a crown on the cover of Vanity Fair and being declared The American Queen quickly spread on social media among MAGA supporters, though the image was quickly identified as a fake AI photo generated by the right-wing Next News Network.
Next News Network's Gary Franchi said he had generated the image himself. Now I do have a confession to make. I actually made that cover with AI. But the facts are the same, he said. I made that because I wanted to troll the left because they are melting down over this becoming a possibility! So there's my disclaimer. Franchi was referring to reports of a staff lashing out over a proposed Melania Trump cover at Vanity Fair.
