Barely elected, Donald Trump is already at the heart of a new fake news. More precisely, it is the wife of the Republican tycoon who arouses suspicion. While the couple went to vote in Palm Beach, Florida, for the presidential election, several photos and videos were published of them in the polling station on Tuesday, November 5. However, Internet users are convinced that it was not Melania Trump who accompanied the newly elected president, but a double. For them, a “fake Melania” was reportedly hired by the Republican Party to replace Donald Trump's wife.
“Just to show you how much money is left in the Trump campaign, here's who they need to hire for Melania now”reacted an Internet user with a video showing Barron Trump's parents arriving at the former candidate's campaign HQ. Another adds: “Am I crazy or is that a fake Melania standing next to him”sharing a video from the American channel MSNBC. A murky detail indeed: she smiles in the images. It is true that the first lady is not known for her outpourings of joy… Furthermore, she wears large black glasses which hide part of her face.

Donald and Melania Trump: a couple united thanks to victory
It must be said that this would not be an impossible scenario, because the absences of Melania Trump alongside her husband were very felt during the campaign. This isn't the first time people have speculated that the former model is being replaced by a lookalike. Some even think that Margo Martin, Trump's deputy communications director, would play his role. Indeed, the two women look similar, but it is obvious that it was indeed Melania Trump who was present on November 5. In images from the Skynews channel, she is seen without her sunglasses inside the Republican HQ and wearing the same outfit as in the polling station. Even the famous Margo Martin shared on her X account a video of the political couple in which we recognize Melania Trump without her glasses.
Very discreet throughout the campaign, the 54-year-old mother came out of hiding on Victory Day. On November 6, she proudly stood alongside her husband when he delivered his victory speech from his Mar-a-Lago headquarters in Florida.
