The internet is once again buzzing with claims that Melania Trump has been replaced by a body double. A viral clip posted by Call to Activism shows Donald and Melania walking to a helicopter — and viewers immediately noticed something off. “Donnie couldn’t find Melania today so he brought fake Melania,” joked one user.
Fans pointed to her flat shoes and a plain coat, saying it’s rare for Melania to ditch her signature high-fashion style. “Melania never wears flat shoes… this has to be the body double,” one person insisted.
The theory first caught fire in 2016 after Melania wore sunglasses indoors during a voting event — and it’s only getting wilder. Some even claimed a stand-in attended Pope Francis’ funeral, hidden behind a black veil.
Still, not everyone’s convinced. As one user put it, “Do you think Trump would take orders from someone who wasn’t his wife?”
Fake or real, the Melania mystery has everyone talking again.
