Twitter goes ape with #FakeMelania conspiracy theory

It seems that Trump haters around the country will latch onto anything to spread their insanity, even fall for tinfoil hat conspiracy theories about the First Lady.

On Friday, Heavy.com reported that a number of people on social media began tweeting “Fake Melania” conspiracy theories after the president and the First Lady paid a visit to Alabama to remember victims of the recent tornado.

Naturally, that caused the hashtag #FakeMelania to start trending.

According to Heavy.com:

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

“Fake Melania is back on the job,” one user tweeted yesterday–to almost 10,000 likes.

The president and his wife had been paying a visit to Alabama to remember victims of the Alabama tornado. There were 23 crosses erected in front of Providence Baptist Church in remembrance of those lost to the tornado. The crosses represented the 23 victims.

The president held his wife’s hands and paused for silence in front of each of the crosses, which had been showered with hearts, stuffed animals, flowers and written notes.

There’s lots more like this.  It’s not the first time this has happened, the report said.  It seems that conspiracies about a “fake Melania” have been circulating since about October 2017 when Trump held a press event at a US Secret Service training facility.  A woman who appeared to be Melania was at his side and, Heavy.com said, the Internet went ballistic with a “fake Melania” cry that caught the attention of the Democrat-media complex which wouldn’t let it go.

This is what started the whole mess:

Naturally, a number of people mocked the Melania conspiracy theorists:

Indeed.  Of course, that assumes many of them have functioning minds to begin with…

The left-wing Snopes even called BS on the 2017 claim of a Melania body double, saying the “… conspiracy theorists pushing this rumor purposely used a blurry (and possibly distorted) video of Melania Trump in order to make this claim seem more plausible.”

Good point.
