Leave it to The New York Post to make the Trump Clan seem not totally stupid. Our staff has now definitely nailed down that the Post put down the wrong date for the magazine which contained nude photos of Melania Trump (then Melania Knauss) and more importantly appeared to place her in the United States a year earlier than she should have been. Well, the Post said it was the January 1996 issue but turns out it was the February 1997 issue. Sad!

Some folks always figured that the real point of the Post story was to publish – lightly covered over – pics of Knauss naked with another woman and they really weren’t focused or particularly care what any dates were. Those folks appear to be vindicated.
