The #FakeMelania Conspiracy Theory Is Back and the Tweets Are SO Extra
The internet is convinced there's a fake Melania Trump making appearances with POTUS.
Twitter has fully spiraled, and #fakemelania started trending over the weekend.
This is the third time this conspiracy has taken over the internet, despite being debunked.
Hi, good morning, the internet is once again spiraling over a long-held conspiracy theory that Donald Trump is wandering around with a fake Melania Trump. And it's all thanks to these recent photos/videos:
I previously thought the #fakeMelania thing was bullshit but I actually don't think that's her. lol https://t.co/KQNekZy0pi

Granted, Melania looks a little different in these images, but reminder that this conspiracy theory has been debunked before! Plus, in other shots, she looks just like normal herself:
Of course that didn't stop twitter from fully flipping out to the point where #FakeMelania started trending:

And obviously there have been a lot of Aunt Viv/Friends/Jan Brady/Game of Thrones jokes:

If you’re out here tweeting #FakeMelania but let Aunt Viv slide, you’re what’s wrong with this world. #FakeAuntViv pic.twitter.com/35GdJeLtl3

FYI, the #fakemelania theory has a long and very extra/questionable history-and again, it's been denied by fact checkers. But for what it's worth, the theory started back in 2017, and last cropped up in 2018 thanks to this:
