Melania Trump's recent appearance at Pope Francis’ funeral has once again ignited the longstanding conspiracy theory that she uses a body double. The 53-year-old former First Lady was spotted alongside her husband, Donald Trump, wearing a black blazer dress and veil to pay her respects. However, this dignified moment quickly spiraled into online speculation. Some social media users claimed the woman next to Trump wasn’t the real Melania, pointing to supposed discrepancies in her appearance, including her eyes and facial features.

This isn't the first time such rumors have surfaced. Similar theories were sparked during her appearance at various public events, including during Donald Trump’s inauguration. Critics have suggested that the body double theory reflects deeper issues within the Trump marriage, hinting that Melania may not be as involved in her husband's life as publicly portrayed.

Despite the repeated resurfacing of these conspiracy theories, there is no concrete evidence to support the claim that Melania uses a body double. However, the speculation continues to thrive, especially after her appearance at the funeral, where some claimed to spot a "Fake Melania."
