The Hoax du Jour is a lefty’s fantasy: Melania Trump has left the president and a “body double” is standing in for the First Lady at appearances with Donald Trump.
Says Snopes.com, the hoax-busting site: “A video purportedly showing this ‘fake’ Melania Trump was also widely circulated on social media. … This [is] not evidence of a body double. It’s evidence of a poorly working television.”
Other photos of the first lady that day show Melania without sunglasses, “clearly showing that this woman is in fact Melania Trump and not some impostor.”
Double takes:
You know, I want to say “of course that’s Melania, not a body double” but things are generally too weird in 2017 to rule anything out

If Melania really does have a body double that means Trump has directly created at least one job.

Guys, I can’t express enough just how ridiculous it is to believe that DT has a body-double of Melania….It’s 2017….It’s a clone!

My two favorite takes I’ve seen on the Melania body double conspiracy is that the stand in is either Hope Hicks or Jared Kushner in drag

Can we just use Barack Obama as Trump’s body double and Michelle as Melania’s so we can end this term correctly?

don’t let Melania’s body double distract you from the fact that Ted Cruz admitted to the Bay Area Zodiac killings

That wasn’t a Melania body double. Melania never existed! Open your eyes, sheeple! She’s a false memory in your head created by chemtrails!!
