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.

Joe Biden would counter with his own kissing photos … but the girls are all under 13 years of age.

If Mayor Buttgiggity was still running, he'd post for a pic with another fireman to kiss like that.

Thanks for the ping!

Of course. It takes time, dedication, and practice.

It’s not for rank amateurs.

So says the owner of more than necessary sparkly stilettos.

Real Men love a woman in heels. Whether they admit it or not.

Doesn’t really matter. The point was made.

It strikes me as a modern take in the WWII sailor/nurse kiss.

Which the nurse ultimately complained bitterly about.

Probably won’t be a problem this time.

I was looking at this picture and a perfect SAT question came to mind.

If you put lipstick on:

a) a gorilla
b) a pig
c) a gender-challenged first lady
d) all of the above

Was this picture taken during a program called, “The View”?
