Melania Trump: is the first lady shining here, or a doppelganger? – Policy abroad

Images of the First Lady boarding the Marine One helicopter at the White House caused a huge stir on the internet!

Twitter users claim that the woman in the images is not Melania Trump (50 years old)But a doppelganger! The reason: Mrs. Trump doesn’t smile the same way, she looks completely different. Teeth are changed, wrinkles are smoothed.

There have often been rumors that Melania had hired a stuntman to represent her on official occasions. Now the conspiracy theories about “fake Melania” have reached a new high point! Users tag posts with the hashtag “FakeMelania”.

▶ ︎ The Twitter user who sparked the new uproar writes: “The only thing I will miss about this administration is that they exchange new Melanias and just pretend we don’t notice.”

“Hair looks fluffier and shorter”

And what exactly should look so different about the supposed “wrong Melania”? One man explains the reasons for the doppelganger theory: “The hair looks fluffier and shorter, the nose looks more pointed and the distance between the upper lip and the nose seems shorter. But they got the color, jawline, hair color, and makeup right. “

A journalist defends Melania’s alleged double strategy, asks: “Why shouldn’t celebrities be allowed to use body doubles?” His advice: the stuntman should wear a crown mask, then the illusion would be perfect.

Unfortunately, there are also bad taste accusations: some users speculate without evidence that Melania has not yet recovered well enough from her crown disease or has separated from her husband and therefore has to intervene in a double.

The fact that Melania has been accused of having a doppelganger for years tends to speak against the new speculation.

“Which double for Melania was the most convincing?”

The rumor that Melania Trump would be replaced by a doppelganger first emerged in October 2017 when the president of the United States spoke with her at his side about a deployment of humanitarian workers in Puerto Rico in the aftermath of a hurricane.

And in the years that followed, the issue kept coming up. Twitter users often believe they see a double when Melania Trump hides behind sunglasses or wears flats that create an unknown effect.

Americans saw the real Melania Trump guaranteed on Sunday in a good mood: At a Halloween celebration at the White House, she distributed candy to costumed children, as in years past.
