It was only a matter of time before something like this happened, but it doesn't stop it from being funny.
A new conspiracy theory about Melania Trump has arisen after the First Lady was spotted looking decidedly... different at a press conference with her husband yesterday.
Of course, you could argue that the only thing that's different is that she's wearing large sunglasses, but nevertheless the Internet has decided that she has a body double who was standing in because she's left Trump and he wants to save face.
They're also pointing at the fact that The Donald makes a point of saying 'My wife Melania, who happens to be right here', which arouses suspicion.
Needless to say, the reaction has been quite amusing, as you'll see below:
I almost believe the Melania body-double conspiracy because I doubt the real Melania would ever leave the house with those split-ends... pic.twitter.com/XL0ijIIhHS

@rhyse Is it me or does Melania appear to be a man in drag here with a wig and large sunglasses on. Can only assume she left trump weeks ago and he hasn’t yet found a way of saying he’s done a great job on the divorce ...I have the best divorce lawyers THE BEST .

I initially didn't notice, but thought it was strange when he said "my wife Melania, she's right here" to try & convince media it was her.

"MY WIFE MELANIA WHO HAPPENS TO BE RIGHT HERE" IS EXACTLY WHAT SOMEONE WHOSE WIFE MELANIA HAPPENS TO *NOT* BE RIGHT HERE WOULD SAY https://t.co/vVIz3Q6QQe

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 pic.twitter.com/NCYIJfeVhx

Me: I don't believe in conspiracy theories.
Internet: Hey, Melania was swapped out for a body double. That Melania's fake.

Why is everyone giving Melania such a hard time? If you were married to Trump, wouldn't you have a body double? pic.twitter.com/9OmbYh4rwJ
