The wild ‘Fake Melania’ conspiracy theory has resurfaced — and everyone seems to be saying the same thing.
Conspiracy theories claiming that Melania Trump uses a body double have resurfaced yet again. The latest wave began after footage emerged of Donald and Melania departing the White House for Florida ahead of Thanksgiving, with some social media users insisting the woman beside him wasn’t actually Melania.
Speculation about the couple’s relationship has followed them for years. Despite recurring rumors of marital tension, the two have consistently presented a united front in public.
Body-language expert Judi James told the Daily Mail that Melania often appears more self-assured at events she attends alone. According to James, stepping out without Donald seems to give Melania a “boost,” allowing her to speak to audiences with greater confidence.
James also pointed to Melania’s official portrait as a display of that poise, describing her posture and expression as “CEO-like.” She added that Melania shows no signs of nervousness or of being overshadowed by her husband.
The expert noted that Melania’s communication style changes when Donald isn’t present, becoming more natural, expressive, and infused with humor. Her increased eye contact and spontaneous remarks during solo speeches were cited as examples.
Still, such independent appearances have been rare in Donald Trump’s second term, and the couple is frequently seen together—fueling continued speculation about “Fake Melania.”
The most recent videos of the pair leaving the White House have come under intense online scrutiny, with viewers pointing to supposed differences in height, weight, and mannerisms. Their observations have once again ignited debate over whether the woman in the footage was truly Melania, reviving the long-running body-double theory.
