Melania Trump kisses firefighter in unearthed ‘New York’ cover

First ladies don’t kiss and tell.

A racy “New York” magazine cover showing Melania Trump smooching a Big Apple firefighter in the wake of 9/11 has been unearthed nearly two decades later.

At the time of the photo shoot in 2002 — meant to be reminiscent of the iconic V-J Day smooch between a sailor and a nurse in 1945 — Trump was a little-known model named Melania Knauss who had been hired to pose on the cover of the publication’s Valentine’s Day “Singles” issue, according to New York.

Knauss — who at the time was dating Donald Trump, then known as a Big Apple property developer — was selected to star on the cover paying homage to New York’s first responders, who had become “rock stars” in the wake of the devastating 9/11 attacks months earlier.

Yep! If you follow the middle link I posted in reply #4, there is his recollection AND a more recent photo of the two of them in Trump Tower.

Wonder if he’s really a NY Firefighter. He sure wasn’t one that went in the towers on 9/11. They and all NYC’s finest were the greatest that day. Our First Lady has always had class. The responders on 9/11 were all hero’s. God bless them and their survivors.

He hasn't. From the middle link I posted in reply #4:

The shoot went well, with the two of them dipping and kissing one another “a couple hundred times" to get the pose just right. “It was fun,” says Keane, who was single at the time. “It was a different experience.”

If I were that guy, I'd have that framed on my wall.

And I bet he can get Melania to sign it.

From the middle link in reply #4, "The firefighter was Daniel Keane, who is still with the FDNY, serving as a Battalion Chief."

Just saw the answer to my question.

Adorable pic.

The left, who promote vileness and degradation, daily, will try to have a fit, over this.
