Did Melania Trump send a body double to vote in the US elections? The Internet thinks so because… | Popular

Melania Trump made an increasingly rare public appearance alongside husband Donald Trump as the couple cast their votes in the US presidential election on Tuesday. However, netizens couldn’t help but notice that the former First Lady of the United States refused to take off her sunglasses indoors, leading to a regeneration of the “fake Melania” conspiracy theories.

Donald and Melania Trump cast their votes on November 5 at the Mandel Recreation Center in West Palm Beach, Florida. Images of Melania, 54, standing quietly next to her husband, wearing a dress and sunglasses, quickly began making the rounds on the internet.

“Melania is wearing sunglasses indoors all day today,” reads a post on X that has gone viral with a whopping 34 million views. The message includes a video showing the Trumps greeting supporters at the polling station.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump wore a red MAGA hat, but Melania even ditched the signature MAGA color as she opted for a black dress and sunglasses.

Melania or fake Melania?

The video once again sparked conspiracy theories about “imposter Melania.” Melania Trump’s “imposter” conspiracy theories began circulating during Donald Trump’s presidency, suggesting that Melania Trump sometimes used a body double for public appearances.

Once again, many X users suggested the possibility that Donald Trump had used a body double of his wife Melania.

“That’s the doppelgänger, not Melania. Easy to see when she smiles and that’s what the glasses are for,” one X user wrote.

“That’s fake Melania,” wrote another. Dozens of X users commented “that’s not Melania” under the viral video.

Some even tried to offer photographic evidence to explain why they felt Melania Trump sent a body double in her place.

“The Melania doppelgänger looks terribly nervous,” read a post on the social media platform. “I swear I’m not into the full body double conspiracy but… that’s clearly not Melania,” another person opined.

However, other videos show that Melania eventually took off her sunglasses as she addressed supporters.

Melania is a Slovenian-born former model who married Donald Trump in 2005. They have a son named Barron Trump.
