Over the years we’ve heard a lot of conspiracy theories that speculate that US President Donald Trump uses a body double of his wife Melania Trump during his public appearances. In fact, people online have often pointed out major differences between the real and ‘fake’ Melania. From her personal traits to her posture, individuals have made some compelling comparisons in the past.
And, now a new picture of the president and First Lady have reignited the #FakeMelania theory on social media. The picture in question shows the couple boarding a Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington. While Trump was seen waving his hands from the stairs of the aircraft, Melania stood beside him with a large grin on her face. In fact, much of her face was masked with a large pair of black sunglasses.

Many people felt something was fishy as they believed that Melania’s smile in the picture did not match her smile in other photos. Trump’s spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, was quoted saying, “Once again we find ourselves consumed with a ridiculous non-story when we could be talking about the work the first lady is doing on behalf of children, including the opioid crisis that is gripping our nation.”
Pointing out the obvious difference in Melania’s smile, many people questioned whether the US president was accompanied by a body double during the trip.
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

The only thing I'll miss from this administration is them swapping in new Melanias and just pretending we won't notice like a 4-year-old with a guppy pic.twitter.com/8J0A4E9z5H

Where did her smile wrinkles go? Teeth are different. Lips are different. Smile is different shape. It is so obviously a #FakeMelania pic.twitter.com/xChVEthWG0

Has their been another sitting President in the Televisual age that’s been quite so brazen as to use a body double of the First Lady on the campaign trail? I think not. Up their with my favourite conspiracy theories. The evidence is well… compelling.

I don’t think I’d even cast this woman as Melania’s Slovenian cousin, let alone as Melania herself. #FakeMelania pic.twitter.com/uJIHFiWJJO

Maybe if #FakeMelania had shoved away Donald's hand they might have got away with it? pic.twitter.com/sEOd1svCqm
