On the show 60 minutes, Russian television presenters, husband and wife Yevgeny Popov and Olga Skabeyeva, spoke about Donald Trump's reelection and showed numerous photos from Melania Trump's modeling days on screen, including nude photographs from a GQ profile in 2000.

Trumpers: Russia is so cool, why can't we be more like them? So based. I love Russia. I'd rather be a Russian than a Democrat!
