This is about all I’ve been able to find on this.[From Axios](https://www.axios.com/fake-melania-trump-conspiracy-theory-1552534714-e4b3ebe0-c307-4ecb-beeb-6da5e0026be7.html) > [@](#): > > Details: Some social media users had suggested the first lady looked different and might be an actress while wearing sunglasses when the couple’s visited a memorial in Opelika, Alabama, for the 23 victims who died in a tornado there. The body double conspiracy theory emerged in 2017, when Melania Trump visited the U.S. Secret Service training facility in Maryland. She was also wearing dark glasses during that visit. Trump did not supply any evidence to back up his claim of who was behind the conspiracy theory. Apparently he’s talking about some rumours that have been floating around for yonks - usually tongue-in-cheek, plus a few nutters. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it mentioned on this board. Where he’s getting the idea that any photoshopping has been done eludes me. Me, I’d been inclined to dismiss the rumours as nuttery and/or a joke; now I’m not so sure. Projection is Trump’s middle name. ---

Projection is Trump’s middle name. So - he’s actually saying that the ‘non-photoshopped’ photographs have been ‘photoshopped to make it appear’ - which is a way around saying that the photos are genuine and it was not melania. There was a daytime tv show that talked about the rumor that brought this on. ---
