Melania Trump appears smiling in a photo and Twitter users assure that it is a double
Netizens justified her assumptions by claiming that the 'real' Melania "never smiles" and doesn't touch Donald Trump "willingly."
A recent photo of Melania Trump smiling with her husband as they climb aboard the Marine One presidential helicopter has gone viral on Twitter after users suggested that the person in the image is not the first lady of the United States. ., but twice her.
As a result, the Web was quickly filled with various memes and jokes, while the hashtag #FakeMelania ('Fake Melania') has become a trend on Twitter.

"It is definitely not Melania, and it is not the first time either," wrote a netizen, sharing several images of the first lady in which she also, according to some, does not look like herself.

"Which of Melania's body double was the most compelling?" Wondered producer Andrew Kimmel.
"When they were walking I noticed that Melania was thinner. I thought that maybe [this was due to] covid-19. But she is touching Trump voluntarily, that is something else," stressed one user. Another claimed that the 'real' first lady "never smiles."
While some netizens tried to analyze all the details of the photo to detect the differences, others simply took advantage of the matter to show their sense of humor.
"I'm tired of all this conspiracy shit. It's definitely her," wrote a tweeter who attached a photo of Donald Trump with Steven Tyler of the group Aerosmith.
I'm tired of all this conspiracy crap.

"Every time they are more botched with the false Melanias. If you look closely, it is clear that she is a substitute," noted another tweeter.
They’re just getting sloppier now with the fake Melanias. If you look carefully you can totally tell that’s a stand in.

"I wasn't sure about #FakeMelania until I saw the photos. Look closely: the tie, the hair, the glasses and the mouth. She is definitely someone else," one user stated.

"I like a president who does not have to hire a substitute for the first lady," joked, meanwhile, a user. "Honestly, I don't think Trump orchestrated a fake Melania. I think Melania orchestrated a fake Melania," said another.

In addition, some users also paid attention to the pilot of the presidential helicopter. "It seems that they have brought Torchwood to investigate," joked a user in reference to the British series of the same name, which tells the story of an external agency of the United Kingdom Government that is in charge of investigating supernatural phenomena.

The conspiracy theory about the replacement of Melania Trump has existed since at least 2017. According to that theory, the first lady of the United States has been replaced by a body double and the 'real' Melania is dead or retired from the public life. Supporters of the theory allege physical differences in facial features, body dimensions or behavior between the original and surrogate Melania, as well as changes in Donald Trump's language when referring to his wife.
