'Fake Melania' conspiracy claims flared again on Saturday, 4 July, after Fox News aired footage of Donald Trump watching himself on television and waving at the screen while Melania Trump stood nearby, prompting social media users to insist, without evidence, that the woman beside him was a body double.
The clip surfaced before Trump's delayed 11 p.m. address, which had been pushed back because of severe weather. He was shown surrounded by aides and guests, with Melania beside him in a white polka dotted dress, the same outfit she later wore on stage at the Salute to America Freedom 250 event on the Fourth of July. That did not stop the internet from doing what it does best, or worst.
