Millions watched the Trump inauguration earlier this week. People tuned in to watch Donald Trump take office with First Lady Melania Trump by his side.
As top officials, politicians, and celebrities gathered in Washington, D.C. for the festivities, people tuned in to watch.
Some viewers had an interesting conspiracy theory about Melania Trump’s outfit for her husband Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony earlier this week. Read on to find out more.
Melania Trump wore a wide-brimmed dark hat, a matching dark coat, and black leather gloves. Social media users commented on her outfit, some comparing it to the McDonald’s “Hamburglar” character.
Some used it as evidence for a conspiracy theory about Melania Trump’s body double. Some believe that Melania left Donald Trump years ago and that a body double attends public events with the President. Others think the reason for a body double is due to the attempted assassination of Trump last year. Neither conspiracy has been substantiated.
One person wrote on X that Melania’s fashion choice supports the body double conspiracy. They posted, “That bolero hat Melania is wearing won’t do much to dispel the rumors that she has a body double.”
Another user wrote in support of the assassination body double theory: “Interesting outfit today.” The hat is so low it hides her face. It looks like a body double, not Melania. Maybe Trump knew about the threats and decided not to put her in harm’s way.
Another person wrote, “That’s not Melania.
They put her in the Oppenheimer hat because she left Trump’s A- and put a…”
“They put a body double in her place, but it doesn’t look like her. So they put her in the Oppenheimer A-hat, so the media can’t tell.” Others were suspicious because the D.C. weather didn’t call for a hat. One user wrote, “The Melania body double is the only person wearing a hat in DC today.”
Others were not as enthusiastic about the theory and had questions. One user wrote, “Bologna! There’s no Melania body double! Why would she miss all the fun?” Another added, referring to the conspiracy theory, “Do you see the BS going around saying that the hat and outfit was hiding a body double for Melania? Crazy. The ears tell the story.”
