Donald and Melania Trump’s relationship is not the most lovey-dovey, I think we can all agree on that! Their equation is quite off-beat and we all noticed it ever since Trump’s inauguration ceremony.
But what’s interesting are the conspiracy theories about Trump using Melania’s body double to make certain appearances!
The theory first sparked in October 2017 when she appeared beside her husband as he addressed the media about hurricane relief for Puerto Rico.
And now it has again resurfaced in social media after the two appeared in Alabama!

President Trump and wife Melania visited communities in Eastern Alabama to pay their condolences after recent tornadoes hit the area claiming the lives of 23 people.
After news channels covered the duo and footage hit the screens, everyone seemed to notice that something was just not right with the looks, posture, height, hair, and nose (especially) of Melania.

Immediately, #fakemenalia hit social media like a storm suggesting that Trump used a Melania body double for the occasion!
Netizens took the footage, dissected it, and analysed it to come up with proof to prove the claims right.
Ok People! Let’s list all the ways #FakeMelania is different than #RealMelania. What the hell—it’s the weekend, we all deserve some downtime.

I know! Maybe there really is a #FakeMelania! Look at the difference in chin structure! From very oval to very angular. Hmm ?! Is this Trump’s Fake Melania #StepfordWife? pic.twitter.com/pjn2AjDdUF

The recasting of Melania is the worst I've seen since they recast Aunt Viv in Fresh Prince #fakemelania pic.twitter.com/HDIMi7FDAh

A body double for public appearances? How is this an acceptable practice? Seriously. There’s a whole different level of bizarre with this family. #fakeMelania

Soon, there were news channels trying to figure out what was going on!
World leaders using body doubles is not has been an old practice. Doubles are hired and trained to act, speak, and behave like them in case there is a threat to their lives.
Since it doesn’t look like the Trumps are in such a life-threatening situation, we can’t help but think this is their solution to making appearances while on a fight!
