Is someone else standing? Social media is not convinced that Donald Trump voted with the real Melania; users have this to say

The internet believes Trump used a fake Melania to cast a vote. Donald Trump appeared at a polling station in Florida with a woman who, according to social media users, is not his wife. They are citing her indoor sunglasses and total silence as proof of the long-standing plot, as quoted in a report by the Daily Beast.

The main video that is causing the internet rumours was shared by Media Touch editor Ron Filipkowski, who tweeted that Melania's been wearing sunglasses inside all day today. Responses began flooding in right away, explaining why the woman next to Trump wearing the thick black sunglasses might not be his wife.

Rings missing, wrong nail style & length, no smile lines in the jawline and lower cheek, notes one user, among other details that imply someone else might be filling in for the former first lady. The woman in the video appears to be 20 years younger than Melania Trump, as quoted in a report by the Daily Beast.

Aside from this particular clip, viewers believe that footage of Melania standing by Trump on major networks like CNN and Fox News only strengthens the theory.

She watches as Trump snaps at a reporter who asks him if he would advise his followers not to use violence when the votes are being counted. As he stood beside his wife in the indoor gym, he declared that there would be no violence. Unlike the question, these people do not believe in violence, according to a report.

Since 2017, there have been rumours that Trump occasionally shows up with a Melania double; the most recent instance of this was when he appeared to vote in Florida.
