Melania Trump has sparked a woke meltdown as Vanity Fair staff threatened to quit after the company's boss wanted the First Lady to be its cover.
The boss, who is new to the position, has left staff threatening to "walk out the motherf***ing door" if it goes ahead.
The fashion magazine's global editorial director, Mark Guiducci, proposed the possibility of putting President Trump's wife on the cover of the publication.

Reported by Semafor, the thought of having the former model as the cover star has sparked fierce backlash amongst left-wing staff.
One editor told the Daily Mail: "I will walk out the motherf***ing door, and half my staff will follow me."
Another staff member said: "We are not going to normalise this despot and his wife; we're just not going to do it. We're going to stand for what's right.
"If I have to work bagging groceries at Trader Joe's, I'll do it. If [Guiducci] puts Melania on the cover, half of the editorial staff will walk out, I guarantee it."

One employee claimed that it was "all talk".
They continued: "If they put her on the cover, people will protest and gripe about it, but I don't see anyone quitting such a prestigious job over that.
"Honestly, there will be people who push back, but it's ultimately Mark's decision.
"He's the one who will sink or swim over that choice, not the rest of us."
Mrs Trump was excluded from Vanity Fair and Conde Nast's Vogue during Trump's first administration.
This was in stark contrast to Michelle Obama, who was on the front cover of Vogue some three times during her period as first lady.
Mrs Trump has previously said she has "no interest" in appearing on the covers, despite the snub.

She previously told Fox News: "Look, I've been there on the covers - on the cover of Vogue, on the covers of many magazines before.
"We have so many other important things to do than to be on the cover of any magazine.
"I think that life would not change for anybody if I'm on the cover."
