This guy gets weirder by the day. Have you seen the video of Trump with the fake Melania? Absolutely not her. And he goes out of his way to point out that "she happens to be right here," one of Trump's classic tells that he's making shit up.
Sorry, I don't have a direct link to post the video, but you can watch it here, along with comparison pics of Melania and her stand-in.

(62,444 posts)Is this also "not Melania" from the same day, same location, same event?

Differences in shading, lighting and make up from an isolated segment of video can "look different".
Nutbars did the same thing with different pictures of Hillary and of President Obama.

Shared over 80,000 times, yet I never saw it on DU. So what's the source? Is it just a doctored video? Because the woman next to Trump is not Melania.

(82,383 posts)People say win voters with issues, but there is the set so gullible they believe Hillary ran a pedophile ring. So it might be a strategy to get the gullible voters back. But we need a better one than fake Melodrama.

(5,803 posts)Ive seen her in those glasses before.
Atman
(31,464 posts)Look at the woman in the video. It's not the glasses that are different, it's her face.
Dont see it. Just a miserable expression on her face, I think you are trying too hard. Not to mention that the video is someone recording their tv lol.

Good lord. Maybe it's an android. Or an alien. Or something else on par with your absurd premise.
Atman
(31,464 posts)Why not weigh in. Is this a real video? That is NOT Melanoma Trump. Different lips, totally different affect. Also, the eyes are a big give-away, which is why banks want you to remove hats and glasses. Cover the fake eyes!
Melania never looks at Donald and nods approvingly. Never. Find me another video where she does this. This is not the same person.
So please, offer up another explanation. Is the entire video fake? Is Melanoma fake? No way you can look at this video and reach the conclusion that it's the same person.

A new conspiracy theory has emerged via Twitter guy @JoeVargas, who has it on pretty good authority that Melania Trump is using a body double.
This theory, though quite certainly incorrect (the woman is having a slightly weird hair day, chill out), is just plausible enough to hit home.
After all, although she wholeheartedly signed up for this, has Melania given off the impression that she is enjoying life right now? Did she, or did she not, recently record a PSA that felt disturbingly like a hostage video? Does she seem to like standing next to her husband, in general? Do bizarre, poorly thought-out decisions get made literally every day at this White House? Alternatively, would I believe it if someone told me that we are living in a crude video game developed by an alien teenager titled Hell Time, and that there is in fact a Westworld-esque army of Melania Trumps standing at the ready in a cellar below the White House? (I might!) . . . .
Atman
(31,464 posts)Look at any video of her. That is not her. Melanoma has a larger upper lip, likely pumped full of filler, but she has never had a bigger lower lip. Never.

(12,633 posts)No matter what objections are brought up. Just like tRump insisted, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that PRES. Obama wasn't born in the U.S. Let's annoy them with silliness, as well as using all other means of resistance.

(50,561 posts)Melania has color woven through all the hair on her head, and the predominant color is kind of an ashy blonde. Trench Coat Woman is a brunette with a few highlights around her face.
Serious question: if you were Melania Trump and you could figure out a way to not have to take a trip with your nightmare of a husband, wouldn't you use it?
MrsCoffee
(5,803 posts)Look it up. There are other pictures of her in those glasses on the internet and her nose looks wide in all of them.
Some women go to the salon and change their hair color every six weeks. Some more, some less. Extremely rich women tend to go more often.
Would people just stop and listen to themselves, lol.

(101,331 posts)Imagine my pride to find that by Thursday morning, this cobblers had percolated all the way up to news Valhalla AKA sections on Good Morning Britain and Sky News having been fanned by various nutjob social media accounts in the US. Furthermore, it had been smartened up for appearance in the Washington Post and USA Today and so on. In the case of Sky News, the entire backdrop was given over to a splitscreen of Melania at the Secret Service facility and a verified Melania image, with the chyron demanding: DOES THE FIRST LADY HAVE A BODY DOUBLE?

Well, now. To be honest, I had feared the process of creating conspiracy-based fake news would be a lot more inconvenient I was concerned Id have to go to that Macedonian town and hang out with the emo teens or whoever it was whose fake news farm skewed the US election for the Russkies. But I neednt have worried. It turned out to be something I could do in a few moments while exiting South Kensington tube station.
As you will note, this lone act of rogue content creation has now given me an item for this weeks column. In business terms, I have vertically integrated, and now control my own supply line of facetious bullshit, about which some more facetious bullshit can be written in due course. It is, quite simply, the dream. In five years time I will have taken this column completely off the standard news grid, growing all its own content, and running a China-level trade surplus with fringe lunacy outlets like Infowars and the Daily Express.
