Are we doing this again? Yes, it looks like we’re doing this again.
Last October, there was quite a bit of speculation on social media that the woman standing next to President Trump wasn’t his wife Melania but instead a body double. Then, after the first lady had surgery and was out of the public eye for about a month, her eventual appearance at an event for Gold Star families this June, captured on an iPhone, revived the body double theory.
And don’t forget that CNN’s Brian Stelter helped fan the flames with his handy “Where is Melania?” calendar:
If any First Lady "disappeared," you'd "want to know where she is." Here's our @CNN discussion: https://t.co/qCLndJKRMp pic.twitter.com/eJ5KY0xTzu

So yes, we’re doing the whole body double thing again. At the time of the writing of this post, the video reportedly has nearly 1.7 million views.

The woman on the right is not Melania. So he’s using a double what’s going on here?

You know they did this on purpose to distract you from more important things they're trying to cover up and get away with, right? And it's working.

I'm usually the last person to believe in conspiracy theories but I've watched this clip so many times now and I cannot see how it can possibly be her.

I’ve shied away on this, but holy cow. You got me here. She DOES NOT shake hands that firmly.

That’s what I thought! This person has confidence I’ve NEVER seen in Melania. Weird.

Melanie would never walk side by side up the airplane ramp, she always walks a few steps back, and the full hips and face. No way.

That is not Melania. Look at the cheeks. The facial structure isn't even close. They're as bad at taking her as they were with the Barron body double at the SOTU! What a bunch of amateurs. They did a better job in the movie Dave!!!???

It didn't look like the real Melania in england or Helsinki. They have different noses too.

What is this. A joke and it's not supposed to be Melania? Even if she did put on weight from being depressed. That's not her mannerisms. She's more dainty. This woman is more forceful.

I found this… it really is supposed to be Melania, but I agree with you, it doesn't look like her.

Yes–everybody but Trumpsters see it—quit insulting our eyes

Yeah, quit insulting their eyes.

For what it’s worth, here are a couple of shots from the Trump’s trip to Columbus from the Associated Press:
Hey, even the fact-checker who mistook a Marine Corps veteran’s tattoo for a Nazi symbol isn’t buying into the conspiracy:
are we… back to the melania body double conspiracy

I don’t have the energy for the Melania body double stuff.

Can we leave the “Melania body double” stuff in the trash heap of history along with Gofundmes for fired politicians and the doctor Kelli Ward bus tour? https://t.co/pLISyRF4cU

If only we could.
