The One Bit of Substance in Those Risqué NY Post Melania Trump Photos

Because of America’s puritan instincts, most political media are avoiding the nude photos of Melania Trump, surfaced by the NY Post yesterday, like the plague. They come from a ’96 issue of France’s Max Magazine.

Still, this one, showing Melania (right) acting out a bondage scene, is worth considering. In viciously beating up on people while bringing ultimate shame on himself for doing it, this picture fits the Trump M.O. to a T. What we’re witnessing daily via Twitter and CNN are Donald’s whips and chains. The presidential campaign has largely been reduced to Trump ping-ponging between sadism and masochism — Melania, with her shamefully cribbed convention speech and  false resume, being part of the show. Sick as it is, the candidate gets pleasure out of pain.
