Melania Trump has sparked a conspiracy theory after social media users became suspicious of her whereabouts on election day.

Hours before Donald Trump, 78, was confirmed to be the next president-elect of America, wife Melania, 54, appeared in West Palm Beach, Florida, to cast her vote.

But some people were baffled over one specific part of Melania's outfit, with many assuming the soon-to-be first lady was using 'a body double'.

On Wednesday morning (November 6), Trump claimed victory at the 2024 US election, after a win in Wisconsin pushed him over the line of 270 votes.

The former president had an overwhelming win across the country, with millions of Americans turning out to vote Republican.

And one person who also voted in the election was his wife Melania, who arrived at the polls with Trump by her side.

But social media users were confused over Melania's sunglasses and why she had been 'wearing them inside all day'.

One wrote: "This is absolutely, categorically not Melania. This imposter's been wearing sunglasses indoors all day."

While another said: "Am I crazy, or is that a fake Melania standing next to him?"

And a third added: "Donnie couldn’t find Melania today so he brought fake Melania."

Meanwhile a fourth wrote: "I am cracking up, not fake Melania ! The real one isn’t even showing up for Election Day."

Many pointed out that despite the amusing theory, they strongly believed it was Melania standing by Trump's side.

"On this occasion, it's definitely Melania," wrote one person.

Declaring victory on Wednesday morning, Trump appeared on stage alongside his family, including Melania, son Barron, and daughter Ivanka.

Speaking to Paddy Power Games, body language expert Judi James explained that Melania appeared 'powerful' and 'confident' as she shared the stage with Trump.

“During [Trump's] arrival on stage, he stepped out to pose, looking momentarily overwhelmed. While his right hand punched the air gently his face seemed puckered in a moment of inner emotion," James explained.

"It was Melania, in a businesslike grey power suit and the towering Barron who flanked Trump exhibiting the body language signals of strength and support."

According to James, it was Trump's body language that gave a clear impression he 'seeks support and strength' from his wife who was 'promoted to a star in her own right' as she stood alongside her husband.

"Trump’s gesticulation and touch rituals with her gave the impression that he seeks support and strength from her rather than the other way round," said James.

“While Trump opted to not bare his teeth in a smile, Melania was beaming with rounded cheeks of pride and delight and baring both upper and lower teeth in her smiles."
