The Whitehouse.gov domain has officially been turned over to the Trump administration, and with it, the biographies of the new president, Donald Trump, and new first lady, Melania Trump, have appeared.

Mrs. Trump’s biography is heavily focused on the nuances of her modeling career:

“Melania Knavs began her modeling career at the age of sixteen. She would pursue a degree at the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia, but pause her studies to advance her modeling career in Milan and Paris before moving to New York in 1996.”

The bio goes on to mention specific photographers Mrs. Trump has worked with: “Melania has appeared in high-profile ad campaigns and worked with some of the top photographers in the fashion industry, including Patrick Demarchelier, Helmut Newton, Arthur Elgort, Ellen Von Unwerth, Peter Arnell, Antoine Verglas and Mario Testino. She has graced the covers of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, British GQ, Ocean Drive, Avenue, InStyle, and New York Magazine.”

The official biography also mentions that Mrs. Trump is a “successful entrepreneur” who launched a jewelry collection in 2010.

But the version that the new Whitehouse.gov first launched with, immediately after the Inauguration ceremony, took things one step further, specifically calling out that her jewelry line was available for sale at QVC.

“In April 2010, Melania Trump launched her own jewelry collection, ‘Melania? Timepieces & Jewelry’, on QVC,” Mrs. Trump’s official biography read following her husband’s swearing in and the official transfer of power.

And Twitter noticed.

Within a few hours, however, it had been edited to read, simply, “In April 2010, Trump launched her own jewelry collection.”
