Melania Trump is going to be the next first lady of the United States. But she used to be a model – and during her time of being a model she had posed in several nude photos. During Donald Trump's campaign, Melania's past was used as ammunition by liberals and conservatives. There were even ads featuring Melania reading " Meet Melania Trump, your next first lady. Or, you could support Ted Cruz...” People of both parties have used her past to dismiss her as a "dumb trophy wife" and would compare her to Michelle Obama.

Melania Trump continues to be discussed by the media, the population, and by other politicians as if she is an object. Even after Mr. Trump won the presidency her past continues to be used against her, her husband and the rest of her family. Melania is continued to be viewed as an extension of her husband, rather than her own person.

I am defending Melania Trump from being slut-shamed and being reduced to a "thing" rather than being a person. I am not defending Donald Trump, I am defending his wife. Ultimately, Melania's nude photos are irrelevant. They do not say what her character or her ethics are, and they most definitely don't tell us anything about Donald Trump's.
