TA visit by President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump in Alabama ravaged by tornadoes, set Twitter on fire on Saturday, thanks to a conspiracy theory that a double body sometimes replaces the first lady when of public events.
The #FakeMelania conspiracy seems to have been born in 2017 when the Twitter user, Joe Vargas – whose biography suggests that he is the founder and CEO of a hemp oil producer company – has published a now viral tweet with a video of the couple starring Melania Trump's face claiming that the first lady is not herself.
This is not Melania. Think that they would go so far and try and make us think that it is on television that it is mind blowing. Make me wonder what else is a lie pic.twitter.com/JhPVmXdGit

Although Vargas's claims were refuted by fact-finders and denied by the White House, Twitter users were quick to fuel the plot, even a year and a half later.
Users compared her height, nose, hair and general behavior this week to suggest that Melania Trump was not, in fact, "Melania" but rather a look-alike.
First three taken this morning. The fourth recently for height comparison. Now, unless Melania has shrunk about 15 cm (even Barron is bigger than her) and jumps have grown overnight, she's not her. pic.twitter.com/4i6SPbVIom

Some users even shared theories about the identity of the so-called double body, suggesting that the first lady would have been replaced by a secret service agent.
But while most of #FakeMelania's Twitter posts have subscribed to the plot, some users have also used the hashtag to denounce this idea.
#FakeMelania Hair, makeup, lighting, shoes and clothes can give people a very different look from one photo to the other. Even if Melania WANTS that she has a clone or a double body, she looks frankly like an unaltered photo where she is less makeup than usual.

"Hair, makeup, lighting, shoes and clothes can give people a totally different look from one photo to another," wrote a user. "Even if Melania WANTS that she has a clone or a double body, she looks frankly like an unaltered photo where she is less makeup than usual."
The couple traveled to Alabama on Friday to meet the victims and witness the damage caused by the tornadoes that ravaged the state early in the week. At least 23 people died as a result of the tornado, which would have resulted in winds of 160 miles to the hour.
