Russian TV “congratulated” US President-elect Donald Trump on the election by highlighting once and future First Lady modeling career photos, including nude images – likely with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s approval, in a possible bid to set the Kremlin’s power dynamic of the Putin-Trump and Moscow-Washington relationships.

Russian newscasters celebrated his electoral victory with jokes and jabs about the next first couple on prime-time TV last week. The husband and wife presenter team of Yevgeny Popov and Olga Skabeyeva showed the collage of modeling photos on the nationally broadcast Russian show 60 Minutes, as reported by Newsweek. Melania modeled around the world in the 1990s and early 2000s before marrying Trump in 2005.

Russian husband and wife presenter team Yevgeny Popov and Olga Skabeyeva showed the modeling photos on the nationally broadcast show 60 Minutes.

“Now that Melania Trump’s husband has finally won, she is getting ready to come back to the White House for a second time,” Popov said as Skabeyeva smirked in front of the display.

“Here is how Melania looked in the year 2000. This is the cover of the magazine GQ.” Many of the photos were from a 2000 GQ photoshoot and show Melania completely nude and in suggestive positions.

“The future first lady lies on top of furs in a negligee. Inside the magazine, Melania’s sexy photos near a private plane and aboard the plane. In one of the shots, the model is wearing only her underwear, lying on a blue carpet with the US seal, as though the editors of the men’s magazine knew something in advance about the future of their model,” the presenters said.

Appearing on a popular TV program sanctioned by the Kremlin, the photos almost certainly had to be approved by Putin for airing before they went live. The show aired after Trump reportedly spoke to Putin on Thursday and warned him not to “escalate” Ukraine.

Putin is signaling to Trump. He probably has photographs of Trump doing inappropriate things. By getting the state media to air, the Melania Trump photographs was a way to signal that he can do the same thing with the photos he has, anytime he wants.

Yay the world's making fun of us again!

I missed it a lot, having suffered four years of a somewhat normal presidency

I can go back to being disappointed every time I read the news!

Its an effective reminder of how subservient Trump will be to Putin and the Russians, meant for a global audience. Trump will decline to challenge the Russians with any sort of angry pushback on this (which he does to everybody else, like hating Taylor Swift in Tweet), and it's crystal clear that Putin's nutsack rests on Trump's chin.
