A conspiracy theory alleging a “fake Melania” body double has resurfaced online. This follows the return of Donald and Melania Trump to Washington, D.C., after Thanksgiving.
The theory, which lacks any evidence, suggests the First Lady is sometimes replaced by an impersonator. It often gains traction after public appearances, with observers analyzing their demeanor.
The latest speculation was ignited by footage of the couple arriving at night via Marine One. As they walked to the White House, Melania wore large sunglasses after dark.
This choice of eyewear prompted immediate reaction on social media. Many users questioned why she needed sunglasses at night, calling it a “giveaway” for a body double.
Other comments cited perceived differences in her face or body language. One user stated, “Her face is different,” while others simply declared, “Not Melania.”
This is not the first time her evening sunglasses have fueled this narrative. Similar accusations occurred during late returns from a UK state visit last September.
A practical explanation exists: bright camera flashes at night. However, the enduring theory highlights the intense scrutiny the couple faces, where mundane details spark elaborate speculation.
