'Fake wife, missing son': Bizarre conspiracy theories, memes on Donald Trump flood Twitter

Twitter has once again been buzzing with the "Fake Melania" theories. Some social media users speculated that the Melania Trump who accompanied Donald Trump to vote wasn’t the First Lady herself but rather a body double. While this theory has circulated before, there is no evidence to support it.

One user remarked, “Having to trot out the fake Melania on election day is pretty embarrassing.” Another added, “Fake Melania makes a rare appearance.”



Many users compared photos of Melania at the voting booth to recent appearances, pointing out perceived differences in her facial features. One user commented, “This looks suspiciously like Fake Melania to me.”


Though Melania Trump has kept a low profile during her husband’s campaign, she has made occasional public appearances, including at the Republican National Convention and an event at Madison Square Garden. She also released a memoir, Melania, in which she discussed the election.


Meanwhile, the absence of Barron Trump also sparked conversation. The 18-year-old was notably missing at the polling station in Palm Beach, where it was expected to be his first time voting. It remains unclear whether he voted early. Donald Trump spoke with reporters outside the polling station, expressing confidence in his chances of winning, with Melania by his side.


Reports indicate that Barron Trump was last seen traveling from New York to Florida ahead of his father’s election night event at Mar-a-Lago. Trump reflected on his campaign, saying, “I ran a great campaign. I think it was maybe the best of the three. We did great in the first one, we did much better in the second one, but something happened. I would say this is the best campaign we’ve run.”


Barron Trump made his debut as an unofficial social media adviser during this election. Trump mentioned several times how Barron helped him choose which podcasts to appear on, highlighting his son’s expertise in the area. Trump also praised Barron’s height, intelligence, and advice to “take it easy.”
