Fake Melania: New photo sparks rumors Melania Trump is using a body double
The internet is in an uproar after a recent photo of Melania Trump looks shockingly like a body double stepped in for her.
An online conspiracy about Melania Trump has returned after a new photo of the First Lady recently emerged with some differences that, to some, didn't seem to add up.
The Fake Melania conspiracy theory dates back to October 2017, when actor and comedian Andrea Wagner Barton made a Facebook post drawing attention to the differences between the decoy and the real Melania.
"Is it me or during your speech today a decoy 'replaced' Melania?" Barton wrote.
Since then, there have been a few other sightings of Donald Trump *allegedly* using body doubles for his wife, including recently when the president and first lady were photographed boarding Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington. .
OMG...THAT'S. NOT. MELANIA.

The internet did its thing and thousands of online self-made FBI agents went to work, noting that the most noticeable difference between the two alleged Melania Trump faces was her smiles, which didn't seem to quite match.
There is legit a fake Melania walking around with the President of the United States and we’re all just like “okay,cool.” I’m legit losing my mind at how we’ve gotten to such a batshit crazy normal that the Country is just giving a shoulder shrug emoji to this INSANITY. https://t.co/EN3tbY5NZh

Just a reminder that Trump uses a #FakeMelania. Let that sink in. Is there anyone out there who can identify this person pretending to be Melania?

Rumors are circulating that Trump chose to wear this body double after a recent awkward moment between the pair at the end of the last US presidential debate. As they walked off stage hand in hand, Melania Trump could be seen quickly brushing his hand away from her husband's.
I’m still wondering about this footage of the President violently jerking his hand while Biden hugs his wife pic.twitter.com/jf2KlbJHCl

Much like the conspiracy theory that Scott Morrison shit his pants at Engadine Macca's in 1997, we may never know the real answer. But at the very least, it's fun to watch Twitter marvel at the possibility.
