About That Fake Melania Trump Body Double Conspiracy Theory: (Mail Chi) — It’s been awhile since a political meme had me LOL-ing as hard as this one. A tweet from a California man whose bio says that he sells hemp syrup claims the woman standing next to the President last week isn’t really the first lady, receiving more than 58,000 retweets.
A White House official told CNN: “Once again we find ourselves consumed with a ridiculous nonstory when we could be talking about the work the first lady is doing on behalf of children, including the opioid crisis that is gripping our nation.”
The joke has taken on a life of its own. Most people aren’t taking it seriously but having fun with it. I feel like the meme resonates with people so much because Melania Trump has said so little that people fill in the blanks with what they imagine she’s like, informed by things such as her comment that she wishes her husband would tweet less. It’s #freemelania in outlandish meme form.
