The #FakeMelania hashtag was trending again in the latest round of conspiracy theories about a bogus FLOTUS.
The first lady was photographed Thursday as she boarded Marine One with President Trump en route to the debate in Nashville – prompting social media users to comment about her smile and suggest she was a body double.
“Good luck finding any photos of Melania smiling like that,” The Ghost of George Conway said in a tweet.
“Swipe these two photos back & forth. Notice the two front teeth. Melania’s are more squared…THAT AIN’T HER in the other photo. #FakeMelania,” read a post by BlueinaRedState that featured side-by-side smiley close-ups.
User Daniel Noriega opined: “Not even anywhere close to being convincing Melania doubles,” adding an emoji with a long nose.
And film director Zack Bornstein wrote: “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.”
The latest theory was not the first time bizarre speculation about a Melania double has flooded the internet.
A post by a since-suspended Twitter account went viral in 2017 with a video of an alleged impostor wearing sunglasses and an Inspector Gadget-like trench coat.
In March 2019, the president lashed out at the #FakeMelania conspiracy theories.
