Donald Trump's character and policies affect the country and potentially the world. Melania Trump's nude photos do not.
Not that anyone I know is doing this, but how about we focus on the political aspects of the president elect and vice president elect and their deplorable cabinet picks rather than taking cheap shots at Donald Trump's physique or the photos that Melania Trump posed for in the past, both things that have no bearing on anything of any consequence.
I really couldn't give a rip about the photos. I can't stand the hypocrisy of many of Trump's supporters, though, who lambasted Michelle Obama for wearing a modest sleeveless dress, saying it wasn't "fitting" for a first lady, but completely ignore Melania Trump wearing far less. Notice I said the hypocrisy of the supporters, not her posing.
In any case, calling Melania Trump a whore does not solve the real problem: the damage that Donald Trump and MIke Pence are going to do while they're in office. I wish people would refrain from such cheap insults and also from the cheap shots at Trump's physique. You aren't hurting Trump by fat shaming him, you are hurting innocent people who may have that body type and see all the insults hurled at a person whose body looks like theirs, or may have loved ones with that body type. Instead of cheap shots, let's focus on the real issue: their politics.
I posed for art classes many years ago, and yes, I do mean buck nekkid. I had people (not the art students or teachers) saying that I must be an "exhibitionist" and thinking that I must be promiscuous. Nothing could be further from the truth. I dress very modestly, my clothing tends to be loose and concealing. I am far from promiscuous. My relationships were few and far between. Unfortunately, they were always bad, and as it happens, I have been celibate by choice since 2000 and have no desire to change that truth in this lifetime.
Nude photos (or artwork) are inconsequential. You can't glean anything about anyone's character based on whether or not they were comfortable posing nude.
Melania Trump is not the one holding the office of the President. Let's focus on the character and actions of the person who is, on his vice president, and on others holding key positions. Those are the people whose actions will affect our futures.

Trump is a problem. He is an opportunist. He is not a fascist but his views attract those that are. Where he is a grave threat is his disbelief of climate change. We are on the verge of annihilation and he selects to not accept that fact. His words that seek to impress those who identify with him, his policies and such, are dangerous for they can be taken to suit those of the extreme right. Trump is a neoconservative bordering on neo-libertarian. But, as you say, he is a hypocrite for only a hypocrite could spout such mistruths to enable him to gain power. He is almost certainly sexist and therefore no friend of equality. I fear him.
It is never okay for anyone to attack another being, physically, verbally, mentally, emotionally, or in any other way. Period. I don't like meanness from anyone, in any form. Ever.
He is a horrid individual and I fear not only for my country but for the entire world. The climate of consciousness must be rotten to the core for him to have gotten anywhere near the White House.
