Last Updated:November 06, 2024, 2:17 PM IST

Melania Trump arrived at the polling booth with her husband, Republican nominee Donald Trump. Internet users couldn’t help but call her a “body double.”

Melania Trump made a rare public appearance alongside her husband, Donald Trump, as they headed to West Palm Beach, Florida, to cast their votes. Despite showing strong support for her husband, the former First Lady’s outing has sparked fresh controversy, with social media users speculating that a “body double” may have been present. The reason behind these theories stems from Melania’s refusal to remove her sunglasses indoors, fueling the rumours further.

Melania Trump stepped out in a polka-dotted floor-length dress paired with black heels and oversized sunglasses as she accompanied her husband, Donald Trump, to cast their votes. Despite smiling for the cameras, her appearance raised suspicions among some observers. The former First Lady’s refusal to answer media questions, coupled with her distinctive outfit, quickly led her to trend on social media, with many speculating about her presence.

A user compared the former model’s Election Day video with another old picture and wrote, “Is the sunglasses wearing Melania today the real Melania or Fake Melania AKA Margo Martin, Trump’s press person?”

Another added, “Convicted felon voting… illegal. Wearing MAGA hat while voting… illegal. Having Melania double vote for her… illegal.”

A user pointed out, “I do not think that is Melania. Her complexion is more olive-toned. Her and is highlighted around the face.”

One claimed, “The real Melania is in New York with Barron isn’t she? This is not the real Melania. If true. It’s Voter Fraud!!”

A user questioned, “Why is Trump using fake Melania today?”

Users even pointed out her physical differences in facial features, body dimensions and behaviour.

Notably, this is not the first time that the former First Lady has faced the body double conspiracy theories. Over the past few years, many have held on to the belief that Melania uses a body double for her public appearances, claiming that she is either “dead” or has decided to stay away from the public eye. She also remained largely absent from Trump’s campaigning, except for the Republican National Convention and the MSG event.

Amid the “fake” theories gaining traction, Melania Trump’s social media handles were updated with posts, confirming her vote. She also shared a picture of Barron Trump, the couple’s son. “Voted for the first time—for his dad!” she wrote.
