The most recent Vanity Fair issue has sparked some online chatter this week, following former President Donald Trump’s victory on Tuesday.
Vanity Fair, a publication known for its entertainment and political coverage, unveiled a new digital cover across social media platforms early Wednesday morning to announce Trump’s win over Vice President Kamala Harris.
An up-close photograph of the President-elect serves as the background of the digital cover, in addition to other supporting cover lines.
“Four years after launching an unprecedented attack on democracy and leaving the White House in disgrace, the convicted felon will return to Washington, DC, as the 47th president of the United States,” Vanity Fair wrote in a brief summary accompanying the post of the digital cover.
Vanity Fair’s went viral overnight, garnering millions of views and like across social media platforms, including X, formerly Twitter, and Instagram. Pop Crave, a well-known news and pop culture aggregator, also reposted the Vanity Fair cover, and its exposure drew over 11 million views as of Thursday afternoon.

The American people spoke. This isn’t a good cover considering we are the ones who voted for him. Stick to fashion.

Two things pass from my mind when I read the numbers on the cover:
1. How was he even allowed to be a presidential candidate
2. How could people trust him to be their president— Yanna Kyprianou (@yannakyp) November 6, 2024
Thank goodness and hallelujah to all that is fair and balanced in this world.

You guys at @VanityFair are so brainwashed. Get out of your bubble and talk to some regular people for a change
