Donald Trump and Melania Trump recently showed up to vote in Florida. But people online think the woman with Trump might not be the real Melania. Some have even joked that “Fake Melania” has returned! Was it really her, or a lookalike? This question has sparked a lot of debate and laughter on social media.
Melania, or “Melania,” wore dark sunglasses and a black dress to vote. Some people found this strange, as they expected something more upbeat for Election Day. One Twitter user joked that she looked “like she is attending a funeral for her husband’s political career.” Body language expert Judi James even pointed out that her dark outfit and shades might mean that Melania (or the stand-in) isn’t as confident as Trump claims.
More and more people on Twitter were quick to notice differences and began sharing their thoughts. Henry VIII (@SussexHenryVIII) wrote, “That’s not Melania. This is insane.”

Others picked up on her unusual expressions, with Tammy’s Blue Voice (@TammysBlueVoice) saying, “The dead giveaway is that she is smiling.” Another Twitter user, Cinthia (@CinthiaLilian), added, “Definitely not her. She hasn’t been able to smile like that for a long time.”

Some pointed out differences in her body language. Judy Shapiro (@judyshapiro) noticed, “She doesn’t walk like Melania. But the real giveaway is her hands. Look at the hands. This is clearly different than how Melania uses her hands.” Mark Schweitzer (@MarkSchweitzer) raised a serious question, saying, “Did this woman vote? If so, could be election fraud.”

These comments reflect how strongly people feel that this might not be the real Melania standing beside Trump. Many believe she looked different because she was smiling and walking differently. Usually, Melania doesn’t show much emotion or smile in public. Even though Melania did take off her sunglasses at one point, many people still don’t believe it was really her. Some think this lookalike theory fits well with Trump’s campaigns, which are often full of drama and mystery.
For Trump, this “Fake Melania” talk could just be another distraction. Instead of focusing on serious issues, he seems to be okay with creating drama. Even as he tries to come back to the White House, at age 78, Trump still loves a good spectacle. Meanwhile, he told reporters he felt “very confident” about Republicans, despite polls showing a close race. “We went in with a very big lead today,” he claimed, but not everyone agrees.
So, was that really Melania with Trump? Or is the “Fake Melania” idea just another crazy story? One thing is clear – social media is having a lot of fun with this. As usual with Trump, we are left wondering what is real and what is just a show.
