Melania Trump's nude photos were shown during a Russian TV broadcast after Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election.
Summary
Russian state TV marked Donald Trump’s claimed 2024 election win by airing nude photos of Melania Trump from her modeling days.
Hosts Yevgeny Popov and Olga Skabeyeva displayed images from a 2000 GQ photoshoot on their show 60 Minutes, joking about Melania’s "return" to the White House.
The segment concluded with a series of Trump photos set to music and a voice-over asking, “What does ‘my body my choice’ really mean?”—a nod to a promotional video Melania posted on X for her upcoming autobiography.
It seems pretty clear to me. "Hey look, we put your wife's nude pictures across the country. It would be a shame if we did this with some other photos we have..."
I mean, they weren't exactly private nudes to begin with, so I'm not really sure what sort of leverage this is supposed to represent. "Look at what we found on Google Images!" isn't much of a threat.
Would it even matter if Putin released the pee tapes, with the MAGA mob? They might even cheer it on. Note that the Evangelicals were quick to embrace the other photos as "artistic".
