It looks like Russia is trying to provoke Donald Trump.
Reports surfaced over the weekend that Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin had a call, where Trump allegedly told Putin to not escalate things with Ukraine.
Suddenly, Russian TV was doing stories about Melania Trump’s nude photos from her days as a model, putting the shots up on live TV.
Tacky
The reports of the call were not exactly flattering to Putin, which is why I believe this story aired on Russian TV, which is state-sponsored
In fact, the Kremlin has even come forward to say the call never happened and that the American media made up the story.
This weekend, however, Russia TV appeared to get its revenge, showing the nudes from an old GQ cover story from 2000.
Host Olga Skabeeva stated, “Now that Melania Trump’s husband has finally won, she is getting ready to come back to the White House for a second time. Here is how Melania looked in the year 2000. This is the cover of the magazine GQ.
“The future first lady lies on top of furs in a negligee. Inside the magazine, Melania’s sexy photos near a private plane and aboard the plane.
“In one of the shots, the model is wearing only her underwear, lying on a blue carpet with the U.S. seal, as though the editors of the men’s magazine knew something in advance about the future of their model.”
If they expected Trump or Melania to be embarrassed, that is not going to happen.
When the photo shoot first took place, Trump had asked GQ for personal copies of the photos, and the magazine obliged.
And Melania has repeatedly stood behind her work, stating again during this campaign cycle, “Why do I stand proudly behind my nude modeling work? The more pressing question is: Why has the media chosen to scrutinize my celebration of the human form in a fashion photo shoot?
“Are we no longer able to appreciate the beauty of the human body? Throughout history, master artists have revered the human shape, evoking profound emotions and admiration.
“We should honor our bodies and embrace the timeless tradition of using art as a powerful means of self-expression.”
Having said that, I am sure Donald Trump will not be too happy about Russia doing this simply because it will give Democrats fodder to attack his wife, and that is a big no-no in Trump’s
