Ever since Donald Trump was elected President of the United States, there’s been a fair few times where people have really been sure that First Lady Melania cannot deal with her husband.

There was the time she swatted away his hand when he tried to hold it on a trip to Israel or, the time at the inauguration when she appeared to smile at POTUS lovingly but then instantly dropped to a deadpan expression when he turned back around. And then there are the numerous body language experts who have been perplexed by the couple's interactions.

As President Trump talked to the media at the White House last week, the supposedly real Melania stood solemnly with large sunglasses covering her face as Trump talked about her.

“My wife Melania, who happens to be right here,” he said.

Hmmm.

Conspiracy theories about politicians are, of course, not new. But this one really seems to have caught the attention of people online.


Then the inevitable happened, Fake Melania got her own Twitter account:

It’s worth mentioning that we are in the era of Fake News so this could well just be that. The First Lady was photographed again later that day looking like ordinary Melania after all.

But on the other hand, Donald Trump’s presidency continues to be one of the most baffling events in recent times so, really, have we reached the point where nothing could surprise us anymore?

Whatever the case, keep the memes coming people.
