Did Melania Trump use body double at presidential debate, or was it Hope Hicks? Here are the conspiracy theories

The bizarre speculations claim that Trump had hired an actress because his wife refused to accompany him on campaign trail which brought him to Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Wisconsin and Maryland

First Lady Melania Trump is surely a lady of expressions, from flashing a fake smile to husband President Donald Trump to rolling eyes at stepdaughter Ivanka, she has aced it all. And the newly surfaced pictures, in which the FLOTUS can be seen getting off of the Marine One helicopter to board Air Force One last week, are bringing back the theories about her using a body double.

The pictures were clicked while the first couple was going to Nashville, Tennessee, for the final presidential debate. In the photos, Trump can be seen waving at the onlookers, while Melania stood beside him flashing a big rare smile. Since the 50-year-old beauty has often made headlines for looking "not so happy" around the president, Twitterati alleged that it was a "fake Melania" who had been clicked in those photos. The bizarre speculations made on the Internet claim that Trump had hired an actress because his wife refused to accompany him on the campaign trail which brought him to Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Wisconsin and Maryland.

Filmmaker Zack Bornstein, who believed it wasn't Melania in the photos, wrote: "The only thing I'll miss from this administration is them swapping in new Melania and just pretending we won't notice like a 4-year-old with a guppy." Another claimed, "There is legit a fake Melania walking around with the President of the United States and we’re all just like 'okay,cool.' I’m legit losing my mind at how we’ve gotten to such a batshit crazy normal that the Country is just giving a shoulder shrug emoji to this INSANITY."

While one made some bizarre assumptions and wrote, "None of them. The big questions are 1) does Trump think we’re this stupid?, 2) why is he doing this - did Melania already leave him?, 3) does he think he’s going to lose if he’s divorced?, 4) Is he really (allegedly) having an affair with Hope Hicks @realDonaldTrump @FLOTUS." "Not Melania’s nose. Not Melania’s gums. (And walking to chopper, it’s not Melania allowing Trump to touch her. Didn’t you see her pull away ffrom him at debate?) I suggest it’s Hope Hicks," read a tweet.

Another user claimed that it was Hope Hicks in the photos and said, "This is absolutely Hope Hicks! Has anyone noticed her gradual hair & makeup transformation? He's got a thing for her & probably paying her well! New Photo Reignites Melania Trump Body Double Conspiracy Theory." Making similar claims, another said, "Try doing some actual research Lisa, or are you not capable? The woman standing at the top of the aircraft steps is not a fake Melania. It is Hope Hicks who is a member of Trump's team."

Sharing a picture of Trump with Hicks, another user said, "Fake Melania looks like Hope Hicks, the one Trump wants to be wife #4." "Many are posting side-by-side images of Melania and the photo in question, claiming her 'teeth' are a dead giveaway that the Trumps are using a body double." She never smiles like that. People are convinced Hope Hicks is Melania Trump’s 'body double'," quipped one.
