Melania Trump receives a new wave of speculations and allegations following the release of her latest photos. On Sunday, many netizens shared their thoughts about the "bizarre" look of the First Lady.
The "Fake Melania" hashtag trended on Twitter, reigniting the "body double" conspiracy theories, according to NewsHub. Several individuals seemingly believe that the U.S. President's wife has a "double" to replace her, especially during public appearances.
The controversies emerged after an official picture of the First Couple went into circulation. The photo in question features them as they boarded the Marine One on October 22.
Based on the image, Melania Trump was smiling broadly inside Marine One. Her "strange" smile was the one that prompted the talks about her alleged "body double."
Netizens were too quick to notice the difference in her facial features. Many of them posted side-by-side photos of the First Lady on the platform to compare the differences.
Following the move, the posts seemingly convinced others that the one on the October 22 photo was not the real Melania. Some even emphasized that there are a lot of apparent differences between the "real" and "fake" First Lady.
Perth Now reported that this was not the first time when netizens caused a commotion on social media, discussing the alleged "fake" Melania Trump. The conspiracy theory first emerged in 2016 when "believers" of the allegations insisted that someone who looks like the First Lady replaced her. They, reportedly, pointed out that there are differences in her lips, teeth, and wrinkles.
In 2017, some personalities, like comedian Andrea Andi Wagner, chimed in and even asked the real Melania to "stand up," hinting that Donald Trump was with a "body double" of his wife. Others, then, followed suit, even on the latest discussion during the weekend.

"Today's photo of a fake Melania," a netizen began, adding that the public quickly noticed the difference. "Good luck finding any photos of Melania smiling like that," another Twitter user posted, alongside four photos of Melania Trump focusing on her smile.

Television producer Andrew Kimmel tweeted a similar post on the same day. He included three photos of the First Lady and asked his followers which of them "was most convincing."
I don’t think I’d even cast this woman as Melania’s Slovenian cousin, let alone as Melania herself. #FakeMelania pic.twitter.com/uJIHFiWJJO — Bryan Behar (@bryanbehar) October 25, 2020
Another producer, Bryan Behar, also, joined the discussions. He said that he would not even cast the woman in the photo as "Melania's Slovenian cousin," suggesting that she does not look like the U.S. President's wife at all.
