In November 2024, the state-run Russia-1 network discussed The Apprentice star, 78, regaining power in America after the election while featuring images from Melania's GQ shoot from the early 2000s where she's wearing little to no clothing.
"Now that Melania Trump's husband has finally won, she is getting ready to come back to the White House for a second time. Here is how Melania looked in the year 2000. This is the cover of the magazine GQ," one of the television hosts said during their 60 Minutes program.
"The future first lady lies on top of furs in a negligee. Inside the magazine, Melania's s— 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 U.S. seal, as though the editors of the men's magazine knew something in advance about the future of their model," they added.
On Tuesday, February 4, the congressman, 77, condemned Vladimir for allowing reckless coverage of Donald's spouse.
"War criminal Putin has ignored peace initiatives with record rocket attacks on civilians in Ukraine. With Putin's state television shamelessly broadcasting nude pictures of America's first lady, who is so beloved, Melania Trump," Joe said during the proceedings in the House of Representatives.
Despite the outrage, Melania is not ashamed of the old snaps from her past career.
"Why do I stand proudly behind my nude modeling work? The more pressing question is: Why has the media chosen to scrutinize my celebration of the human form in a fashion photo shoot?" the mother-of-one made clear in a September 2024 promotional video for her memoir.
"Are we no longer able to appreciate the beauty of the human body?" she questioned. "We should honor our bodies and embrace the timeless tradition of using art as a powerful means of self-expression."
The U.S. commander-in-chief and the former Prime Minister of Russia have always had a rocky relationship. However, Vladimir recently praised Donald's to becoming president for the second time.
According to the former intelligence officer, European leaders will be "wagging their tails" to please the Republican politician now that he's the president again.
"They just don't like Trump. They forgot him actively, really interfered in political life, in the election process of the United States," he claimed during a recent interview.
"And then they were confused when Trump suddenly won," Vladimir added.
"But I assure you, Trump with his character, persistence, he will restore order pretty quickly," Vladimir alleged. "And all of them, you'll see, it will happen quickly, soon, all of them will stand at the master's feet and gently wag their tails."
