Melania Trump’s ‘body double’ conspiracy theory is back again after viewers spot something strange about her appearance whilst flying overseas with the president.
On April 25, Melania and Donald Trump were posted online by a X user who wanted to know what people could see when watching the married couple walk over grass and onto a helicopter.
Whilst some went on to say how good they looked, or happy they seemed to be, others brought up an old conspiracy theory which first began just before her husband took to office.
If you don’t know about it, it’s the ‘body double’ theory, which states that a stand-in was hired to fill in the role of Melania.

The first instance people think she was used was hours before Trump was confirmed to be the next president-elect of America.
It was when the 54-year-old appeared in West Palm Beach, Florida, to cast her vote and wore a particular outfit that fans believe she’d never be caught in.
It was on November 6 that Trump won the election, after his win in Wisconsin pushed him over 270 votes, with his wife also casting her own.
But when they saw Melania's sunglasses that she had been 'wearing them inside all day', that’s when the theory started.
One person wrote online: "This is absolutely, categorically not Melania. This imposter's been wearing sunglasses indoors all day."
Another said: "Am I crazy, or is that a fake Melania standing next to him?"
Someone else added: "Donnie couldn’t find Melania today so he brought fake Melania."
Even though it’s been a while now, the theory has been renewed because Melania was caught wearing flat shoes and an apparent ‘off-the-rack’ coat.
Call to Activism on X posted the video with the caption: “What do you notice about the way Trump and Melania just walked to the helicopter today?”
That’s when people let lose about their belief that Melania was an imposter that day.
One person shared: “Melania never wears flat shoes either…I’m betting that this is the fake body double Melania because the real Melania did not want to have to go and stay with Trump overseas for the entire trip…”
Another wrote: “Fake Melania.”
Someone else said: “I don't notice how they walked to the helicopter, but from the back, that is not Melania or DJT, IMO. Melania wouldn't wear an off-the-rack coat.”
Some even said that Melania wasn't actually present at Pope Francis' funeral yesterday (April 26), and that again, it was a body double who took her place.
Do you want to know what the reason for this claim was? Because the First-Lady was wearing a black veil over her face, and so it could have been anyone.
However, her behavior at the funeral seems to match up with her personality.
While at the Vatican City, Trump apparently made a 'seven-word comment' to his wife, and Melania then apparently made an alleged suggestion to her husband regarding his etiquette not too long afterwords.
Do you think Trump would take orders for someone who wasn't his wife?
