Melania Trump like youve never seen her before

Melania Trump in the January 1996 issue of Max Magazine.Photo: Alé de Basseville
Donald Trump thinks his wife will be a model first lady and heres the proof.
Decades before she was sporting designer dresses on the stage of the Republican National Convention as Mrs. Trump, Melania Knauss posed nude in a photo spread for a now-defunct French mens magazine, The Post has learned.
The images, some rarely seen and others never published, were obtained exclusively by The Post.
The bombshell photos show Melania wearing nothing but high heels and pouting for the camera, in a series of images shot from the front, the back and the side.
Melania was super-great and a fantastic personality and she was very kind with me, de Basseville told The Post, adding the former model never once felt uncomfortable posing for the nude pictures.
Melanias sexy photo spread appeared in the January 1996 issue of Max, a French mens magazine that went out of business in 2006.

(114,615 posts)It seems a little low to go after Drumpf by reminding the world that his wife was once a naked pinup.
Then again, she might be proud of how she looked when she was 20 years younger and be impervious to slut shaming by Puritans in the USA.
It will be interesting to see how The Maggot takes it.

The Melania nude layout will divert attention from Trump's atrocious treatment of this patriotic American Muslim family.
"Look! Over Here! Naked Lady!"

(12,904 posts)I understand now. Trump is being done in by the grieving parents of a Muslim American war hero.
Perfect.

PR adviser: "You're getting killed by the negative attacks on the Muslim soldier's father."
Drumpf: "So. What should I do?"
PR adviser: "Well, you could counter that by actually doing something philanthropic, promote something that will make hearts across America swell with emotion."
Drumpf: "To hell with that. Get the NY Post on the line. I've got those nudie pics of Melania around here somewhere."

It has become my go to response.
KMOD
(7,906 posts)She is a model and there is nothing wrong with her photos or her photos being published.
What's wrong is that a pig like tRump feels this will help him get more votes. I have no doubt that it was tRump himself that provided this story to the NY Post.

Johnny2X2X
(24,207 posts)This should have zero bearing on the race, what a candidate's spouse did 10 years ago doesn't matter. And at that she did nothing immoral.
But that's not what the Christian Right will say and they would lose their minds if a Dem spouse had these pics. This would be a national scandal to the right if a Dem candidate's wife had public nudes.
This could be a feeble attempt by Trump to play the victim though. They may try to blame this on Hillary to distract from the Khan story.
phleshdef
(11,936 posts)Melania's nude modeling doesn't bother me. I don't think its a place we should go. Its basically engaging in "slut shaming" and that isn't what we should be about.
Trump has more than enough legitimate things for us to go after him for. As far as I know, Melania has not engaged in any negative campaigning toward Hillary or any other candidates. Basically, she has stayed out of it. As long as that is the norm, she should be off limits.

But then again, she's been demonized for exposing her arms sans sleeves, and for her "crazy" ideas concerning healthy eating

Melania, Your hubby said all press is GREAT press

You got to hand it to the republicans when they put on a show they really put on a show. It's going to be yuuuge!!!

(3,767 posts)Rupert Murdoch and his family owns News Corp. Which is the owner of the New York Post.
Rupert Murdoch also owns faux news. Which he pretty much said was going to be a campaign arm of the gop
Would the editor run this with out approval from higher up?
And if it needed higher up approval how far would it have to be approved at?
After working out who would approve it. The question is why they ran it.
1. Normal sleaze they run anyways.
2. Someone is ticked at dipshit donnie.
3. They are trying to get out ahead of it and post it early since it would make it out anyways. This also gives them time. Not only a chance for better damage control. But they know a lot of people will have gone on to other things by the time the elections come around.
4. Adding the sacrifice theory from above. So it also could be a distraction ploy
5. Any other ideas?
blogslut
(39,167 posts)He's figuring that it will deflect from his horribleness and garner sympathy for his wife after her stolen speech.
But remember to point out these facts:
Rupert Murdoch owns the New York Post. He supports Trump. He condoned Roger Ailes' horrendous behavior for decades.
Both Rupert and Donald are willing to gleefully debase Melania in order to gain political ground.
As for the hooplah they are expecting, my guess is (aside from some faux outrage from his talking puppets at Fox) the rest of us will express a collective "So what?"
