So I’m confused. The media photoshopped pictures of Melania, who was not in the original pics, in order to say that she wasn’t in the original pictures and must have been photoshopped in, which they did, to promote a conspiracy theory that she wasn’t there?

This is about all I’ve been able to find on this.From Axios
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.

Oh, I know he was. But since Trump is so keen on “ancient tech is better”, seriously, which member of the catapult family is more old-tech-looking than a trebuchet?

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.

Hell, that looks like Melania to me. Grim, sad. morose, wishing Scottie would beam her up-- yup, that’s her.

But they’re holding hands - so definitely a body double.

Which is exactly what you’d want in a double. :eek:

Maybe the transporter switched her with a counterpart from a barbaric alternate universe.

Nah, then she would’ve had a goatee.
Gods, I read that as ‘goatse’.
Like the version of Ted Cruz that we saw a couple of months back? I wondered if he’d stepped into a malfunctioning transporter.

That would imply that before that we had the “good” version of Ted Cruz. :eek:

One too many facelifts?
IIRC, that was Joan Rivers commenting on Gloria Vanderbilt. (Could be wrong about Jan Rivers.) ‘If she gets one more facelift, she’ll have a goatee!’
Sounds right. I knew I stole it from some comic but couldn’t recall whom.

You’re thinking of Michele Bachmann there.

I’m thinking that Trump married her to improve his looks - so wears her like a beard .
