Melania Trump is jousting with Anna Wintour, taking offense at a recent conversation the Vogue editor had with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour about first ladies, in which her name is never actually mentioned.

Nevertheless, “several outlets” rushed to Trump spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham, asking for Trump’s response to Wintour’s comments to Amanpour, published April 5.

So Grisham issued a statement, including to USA TODAY on Tuesday:

“To be on the cover of Vogue doesn’t define Mrs. Trump, she’s been there, done that long before she was First Lady,” Grisham’s statement said. “Her role as First Lady of the United States and all that she does is much more important than some superficial photo shoot and cover.

“This just further demonstrates how biased the fashion magazine industry is, and shows how insecure and small-minded Anna Wintour really is.  Unfortunately, Mrs. Trump is used to this kind of divisive behavior.”
