MSNBC: Melania Did Nude Photoshoot in the 1990s to Get Young Men to Vote Trump in 2016

The issue of Melania Trump's nude photoshoot in the 1990s came up in a discussion about her memoir that she is currently promoting. 

Melania, unlike Donald, is a supporter of abortion rights and has been clear on the matter. In a discussion that was ostensibly focused on that fact The Daily Beast’s Chief Content Officer Joanna Coles made the startling claim that her nude photoshoot was aimed to get young men to vote for her husband.

Uh, wut? Just how stupid do these people think the American people are?

Well, the viewers are watching MSNBC, so my guess is "VERY stupid" indeed. 

CNN lays out Melania's history in a profile of her new memoir:

The former first lady’s forthcoming memoir, titled “Melania,” is set to hit shelves in October, according to Skyhorse Publishing. Her office, when announcing the book, described it as “a powerful and inspiring story of a woman who has carved her own path, overcome adversity and defined personal excellence.”

Melania Trump’s history of nude modeling was highlighted in the 2016 campaign, when the New York Post published several nude photos – which were reportedly taken in 1995 and appeared in a now-defunct French men’s magazine – that had not previously been published online. The headline on its cover was “The Ogle Office.”

At the time, Donald Trump told the newspaper that the photographs were taken for a European magazine before the two knew each other and that “pictures like this are very fashionable and common.”

A 2000 British GQ cover in which the Slovenian-born Melania Trump was photographed nude on Trump’s plane also resurfaced during that campaign. A year after that photo shoot’s publication, the former first lady got legal residency in the United States, receiving a green card under the elite EB-1 program, The Washington Post reported.

The former president and first lady were married in 2005. Donald Trump’s two prior marriages were also to models: Ivana Zelníčková and Marla Maples. His numerous business ventures also included a modeling agency called Trump Model Management; it was closed shortly after he took office in 2017.

I am pretty sure that a photo shoot in the 1990s and a nude photo in 2000 had nothing to do with Donald Trump's campaigns. 

I could be wrong, but I doubt 18-year-olds are searching online for nudie shots from decades ago. 

The left celebrates Pride parades where men pee on each other while sitting in wading pools, celebrate degenerates whipping each other in front of children while wearing dog masks but get all worried about a model doing a photoshoot. 

To call it deranged is an understatement. I really don't know what word fits. It is a combination of hatred, sophistry, and simply being unhinged. 

I don't have strong feelings about Melania. She doesn't seem very approachable, as a very private person. She exudes calm and class but not warmth. My impression is generally positive, of course, and I think she has been treated very badly by the press. 

This, though, is a new low.
