Even at Ivana Trumpâs funeral, those around Trump found a way to take a subtle dig at Hillary Clintonâs presidential ambitions.
According to the U.K. Daily Mail, one of the tributes to the late first wife of former President Donald Trump was a blown-up Vanity Fair cover appearance Ivana made.
Edited out of the picture? A bit of text regarding Hillary Clintonâs designs on the White House.
(Here at The Western Journal, weâve been documenting how bad of a president Hillary Clinton would have been since day one â and, should she make a comeback in 2024, as some have predicted, weâll keep bringing America the truth about her lies and incompetence. You can help us by subscribing.)
Ivana Trump died last week at the age of 73 after a fall at her home in Manhattan.
The Czech-born model was married to Donald Trump from 1977 until their divorce in 1992. Despite this, she remained a supporter of her former husbandâs presidential ambitions and performance in the White House.
According to People, in a 2020 interview, she said her ex was âpro everything I believe in. He is Republican and so am I. Heâs achieved so much, especially with immigration.â
She also praised her daughter Ivanka in the same interview.
âI tell you, I think, sheâs in the White House every day, you know? Sheâs next to her father every day. She knows all what is going around,â she said.
âI think she could be one day the first woman president, definitely. Sheâs smart as hell, sheâs beautiful, sheâs au courant. How much more you can have?â
One person who likely wonât be the first woman president, however? Hillary Clinton. And, at Ivanaâs funeral on Wednesday, they made sure she knew it.
In May of 1992, Ivana appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair, along with the caption, âIvana Be a Star!â
There was something else on the cover, however. Keep in mind, this came in the midst of the 1992 presidential campaign and, by May, Bill Clinton had the Democratic nomination all but wrapped up. Hillary, meanwhile, had taken on a profile that no other political spouse had, touting herself as both a potential future first lady as well as a presidential adviser.
Vanity Fair noted her ambitions on the cover of the âIvana Be a Star!â issue: âHillary Clinton: Will she get to the White House with Bill or without him?â
Unless she makes a surprise 2024 run, we now know the answers to those questions: Yes and no. So why even bother including it?
Ouch.
Itâs unclear who had the banner taken off, if anyone. Vanity Fair acknowledged that the text had originally appeared on the cover and that âPhotoshop job appears to be the likeliest explanationâ why it wasnât on the edition at the funeral.
However, the magazine said it couldnât rule out the possibilities that âsubscriber editionsâ were printed without the text or that Ivana had been given a version of the cover that didnât include it.
This seemed to irk quite a lot of people. Hereâs blue-checkmarked liberal writer Molly Jong-Fast calling the move âodd.â
If you didnât have a blue checkmark, you could apparently get even more vile. Hereâs author Matthew Rettenmund wishing Ivana âGood riddanceâ over the stunt and a random user who tweeted an article about the magazine-cover edit which included an image of the pallbearers at the funeral carrying her coffin out of St. Vincent Ferrer Church in Manhattan: âThis time they managed to avoid pushing her down the stairs,â the tweet read.
However, the general reaction from the left was that this was âpetty.â
Speaking of petty, look what just so happened to appear on Hillary Clintonâs personal Twitter account the day after Ivanaâs funeral:
âOn the move, 1992.â The same year as the Ivana Vanity Fair cover! What are the odds?
Even if this is merely a coincidence, the left certainly seems irked that the Trump family might have photoshopped the Hillary text off of the cover. However, itâs their relativeâs funeral; itâs not as if they had everyone at the mass chant âlock her upâ before communion, after all.
And looked at in the right light, they were doing Hillary a kindness. After all, no reason to remind her she couldnât make it to the White House without Bill, all thanks to Ivanaâs ex-husband.
