Trump adviser: Nude photos of Melania ‘a celebration of the human body’

A Donald Trump campaign aide on Sunday dismissed the uproar over nude pictures of Trump's wife, Melania Trump, published by the New York Post.

“These were photos that are 20 years old, before Mrs. Trump met Mr. Trump,” Jason Miller said on CNN’s Reliable Sources.

“They’re a celebration of the human body as art.” Miller, Donald Trump’s senior communications adviser, said Melania Trump has “nothing to be embarrassed about. She’s a beautiful woman.”

Miller also said he did not expect the Republican presidential nominee to lash out at the newspaper. "I think Mr. Trump is a little more focused on the direction of the country and what we need to do to get it turned around," he said.

between the NYP, Murdoch and Trump; "get them out and have the controversy before the Democrats release them in October"

were made to deflect from his invitation to the Russians to hack American government computers. Bad to worse, then a 'romantic' intermission with naked lady pictures. This is ALL SO CRAZY!

Sandbag him; this issue only hurts him with his puritanical supporters.

As a Dem, this should have no effect on the race. The pics were 20 years ago, and even if they were yesterday, who cares, women are free to show their body how they please.

But that's not the point. Where is the Right Wing outrage? The Religious Right would be having a 24 hour a day screaming session until Melania was drug out into the town square and stoned to death had she been a Dem.

5 kids from 3 different wives, multiple wives who pose nude, a whole host of disgusting behavior by the candidate himself, and the Christian Right is still all aboard. Hypocrites!
