Come on, Dopers. It’s Melania. She’s giving the speech. And I’m quite sure the campaign coaches they get or whomever mention to look more affectionate to each other. Show the right a happy marriage type of crap. Maybe they actually fell in love! Maybe a m/s pact? Nah. That’s too much. 😉 ---

Lol, the Melania body double theory is something I’ve heard about for 2+ years now and it’s one of those things which _may_ be true… i.e., perhaps for security reasons, especially given her travels from NYC to DC, there might be a decoy Melania (I’m reaching deep into my knowledge of Robert Ludlum and _Designated Survivor_ here)… but the idea that there is a ‘fake Melania’ for campaign rallies and public appearances is just bonkers. ---

Well, some posters just have to hold onto the theory of both sides-ism. If that’s not true, their worldview collapses, which cannot be tolerated. ---
