Conspiracy Theory Claims That A Body Double Is Being Used In Melania Trump's Place

A conspiracy has been making the rounds that claims that Donald Trumps's wife and First Lady, Melania Trump, has a body double - with the topic currently trending on the social media site.

The debate began on Friday with a Facebook post from actress Andrea Wagner Barton.

She posted a video of Melania standing next President Trump during a media interview. Watch the footage and make up your own mind here:

"Will the real Melania please stand up? Is it me or during his speech today a decoy 'stood in' for Melania??" she wrote alongside a picture.

From there a Twitter user posted, saying: "This is not Melania. To think they would go this far & try & make us think its her on TV is mind blowing. Makes me wonder what else is a lie."

Here's how Twitter responded:

However, sadly all good things must come to an end. And after some further investigation by the LADbible team, it looks like it could all be a load of bullshit.
