The bizarre 'fake Melania Trump' conspiracy is once again taking social media by storm after the recent picture of the First Lady went viral. In the picture that is circulating online, Melania can be seen smiling, while boarding the Marine One helicopter on the South Lawn of the White House on October 22, ahead of President Donald Trump's final debate against Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden. Melania's smile is what is making people suspicious of the First Lady as they claim it does not match with other pictures of the president's wife.
Remember when they accused Hillary Clinton

Previous conspiracies
This is not the first time that Melania's body double rumours went viral on social media as in 2017 and 2018 several netizens had tried to stir the same conspiracy theory. A picture of Melania exiting the Air Force One, which is the official airplane of the US President, went viral in 2018 and people claimed that the woman coming out of the carrier is not the First Lady but her body double. The conspiracy theory was first spun by actor and comedian Andrea Wagner Barton, who had posted on her Facebook handle in 2017 that a decoy took Melania's place during one of Trump's speech from outside the White House.

Body double rumours have always revolved around major US politicians and their families as it not something happening exclusively with Melania Trump. In 2016, rumours of the then-Democratic Party presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's body double started circulating on social media after the leader left the 9/11 memorial service in New York early because of feeling overheated due to pneumonia. People had started claiming that Clinton has been replaced by a decoy after the memorial service collapse.
