Internet investigators are at it again with the wild Melania Trump ‘body double’ conspiracy theory, with Redditors this time picking apart a picture of the first lady arriving at an airport with her husband earlier this year.
So… for those not in the loop, let me give a quick review.
Ever since Donald Trump started his first term of presidency back in 2017, people online have been guessing over wife Melania’s public appearances.
Yep, many think that on several occasions in the last eight years, the woman attending the president is not the first lady and is, in fact, a ‘body double’.
One of the theories suggests that the 55-year-old former model no longer wishes to be seen out in public with her Republican husband, so she has been hired to stand in her place, while another assumes a body double has been put in place for ‘safety reasons’.
While Melania has never answered the bizarre speculation herself, her husband – who started his second term of presidency in January this year – has.
Trump, now 79, took to Twitter back in 2019 to close claims of a Melania body double, writing: “The Fake News photo-edited pictures of Melania, then propelled conspiracy theories that it’s actually not her by my side in Alabama and other places.
“They are only getting more deranged with time!”
Well, it looks Trump’s claims six years ago were to little avail as the conspiracy theorists seem to be louder than ever, with one Redditor reigniting the discussion earlier this year following the couple’s arrival in Los Angeles to tour the wildfire devastation.
Sharing a photo of the newly sworn-in president, Melania and California Governor Gavin Newsom at the airport from January, they posted: “Is nobody talking about how this is 100% not Melania?? It doesn’t look anything like her.”
And many were quick to agree, commented: “Yes, some time ago my sister noticed the ‘stand-in’. I concurred. Trump’s wife hates him as much as anyone.”
Another wrote: “It looks like her to me, but it wouldn’t shock me if she had a double the way she clearly hates being around him.”
While a third added: “Why is she so expressionless? I honestly don’t think she is even there. Looks photoshopped in.”
But it looks there’s light at the end of the tunnel, as many were quick to blast these ‘creepy’ conspiracies and indicate that the woman stood next to Trump was none other than Melania herself.
“Guys can we not… This is very obviously her,” one commented. “Can we please focus on the things that actually f**king matter.”
And another said: “Nah it’s her just with another pound of make up on. It’s probably easier to look more different with shades and that jacket on.”
While one internet detective wrote: “Its her. Do an ear lobe deep dive.”
