It is not new that Donald Trump's wife Melania also posed for nude photos in her younger years as a model. The pictures she once had taken for “GQ” magazine are well known. But now she also seems to have discovered Russian television – and is only too happy to exploit this discovery.
The nude photos that Melania Trump once had taken of herself have been an issue time and time again. They were brought out in 2016, for example, when her husband Donald Trump fought for the office of US President for the first time – and won, regardless of the spicy pictures of the former Slovenian model. Only a few weeks ago, when it came to promoting her memoirs, the 54-year-old recalled the recordings herself again. She made it clear that she “still proudly” stands behind her naked modeling appearances.
After the re-election of Donald Trump as US President, Russian television now also seems to be taking a particular liking to the photos that were taken around the turn of the millennium and were published in “GQ” magazine at the time. The state broadcaster Rossija 1 enjoyed reviewing the images in a report.
The moderators Yevgeny Popov and Olga Skabeyeva can hardly suppress their laughter while the photos in the program “60 Seconds” flicker across the video screen in the background: Melania Trump, for example, naked in front of a wall, wearing only jewelry on a fur or with a Colt in his hand. With a mocking tone and a smug smile, Popow explains what one sees, for example how the “future first lady is lying on furs in a negligee.”
Message from Putin?
The influencer Brian Krassenstein, who made a name for himself as a harsh Donald Trump critic in the USA, published the scenes on his X account. There they have now been marked as “content for adults” and can only be accessed after specific consent to show them. “This is how Putin lets Trump know that he is in charge,” Krassenstein speculates in the comment to his post.
Melania Trump, who was born in Slovenia in 1970 and grew up there, began modeling as a teenager. Her catwalk career took her to the USA in the mid-90s, where she soon met Donald Trump. The two married in 2005. A year later, not only was their son Barron born – in 2006, Melania Trump also received US citizenship.
