Why did Putin do that?

If it can be a given that RT is 100% state controlled media in Russia, I wonder why Putin would want them to show Melania naked as they congratulated Trump.

Russian state TV airs nude photos of Melania Trump as presenters congratulate her husband on election victory

its all going to be speculation, so why do you think he did that, and how come so few wedtern sources are mentioning it? Only seen newsweek and a couple of brit papers.
It sounds to me like Russia wants to insult Trump in some way. I don't know.

Well you don't want everyone to think Trump was Putins lapdog. Got to make the Ukraine agreement look real.

Melania's body. Putin's choice.

Nonetheless, Melania is quite right that art or fashion modelling is a "celebration of the human form".
I think that is sport.

Staring at good looking people isn't a celebration.

I can see this being an issue if it was something secret they uncovered and exposed (puns intended), but it's from a popular fashion magazine. That's why other sources didn't pick up on it.

1.I don't know why that would be the reason.

2. It was on national TV in Russia so it's not super hidden.

3.newsweek has a piece on it


Ultimately I don't really care it isn't getting picked up. But I am curious about lay people's opinion on the outing amd Trump relationship (which certainly events like this speak to).

I don't think most anyone cares. RT showed well known photos from a highly popular fashion magazine. Big deal.

In her book, which came out just recently, Melania said she was proud of her work as a nude model. Donald seems quite proud of her looks (remembering 2016 primaries where he disses his opponents' wives).

If she doesn't own the rights to the pictures, then she unfortunately has no say how and when they are used.

Psychology. Hey, I've seen your wife nude. And shown the pictures to all of Russia. See what I can do?
I'm pretty sure the p-tapes are not real.

Probably a warning to Trump going into anticipated Ukr negotiations that "we got the pee tapes".

EDIT- already mentioned, I see. I give the pee tapes a 22% chance of existing. Quite unlikely. But much more likely they have something on him. You dont let a guy like that into your hotels without..... making "preparations".

Even if they were real, which I don't credit, what difference would their revelation trigger? A bit of rage and embarrassment, but nothing else.

I think the Helsinki tapes would be more damning, should that be what Putin has on him.

This isn't like that though. There's nothing remotely secret about Melania Trump's GQ Magazine photos from 25 years ago. It's about as much of an exposé as showing clips of The Apprentice.
