NEW YORK — The race for the White House got a whole lot sexier on the weekend when the New York Post published some old photos of Donald Trump’s smokin’ hot wife Melania.

The photos for a French men’s magazine were taken in 1995, when Melania was aged 25 and working as a model. And ooh-la-la, after seeing these sexy snaps, it’s not hard to see why real estate mogul Trump just had to get his hands on her ample assets.

According to the Donald, Slovenian-born Melania was one of the most successfulest models in the whole world. She was yuge!

Trump said this kind of photoshoot is very fashionable and common in Europe, according to the New York Post.

Come on, you know what those Europeans are like ... always taking their clothes off in the name of fashion.

The sexy photos could give a lift to Trump’s presidential campaign by appealing to true red-blooded ‘Murican males. Hell, yeah! Never mind great, it’s time to Make America Horny Again!

We’re guessing, however, that all this nudity won’t go down too well with conservative Christians on the right. So maybe Trump will be happy when the whole thing blows over.

But to anyone who finds offense in these photos we ask: Does it really matter what the potential next first lady used to do for a living?

Oh well, at least we know now how the Donald learned to pout.
