  • 5 years ago
President Trump on Wednesday again slammed the media.

President Trump slammed the "deranged" media on Wednesday over conspiracy theories about the existence of a "fake" Melania Trump who sometimes travels with him.  "The Fake News photoshopped pictures of Melania, then propelled conspiracy theories that it's actually not her by my side in Alabama and other places," Trump wrote in a tweet. "They are only getting more deranged with time!"  The possible existence of a second first lady isn't a new idea, but it did get some fresh oxygen on Monday's airing of ABC's 'The View.'  Host Joy Behar said in regard to a picture of Melania Trump standing beside her husband at a Friday appearance in Alabama: "That one does not look like her. Sorry. I wasn't going to go along with this, but that one in that picture does not look like her."  Soon after, first lady spokesperson Stephanie Grisham tweeted: "@flotus & @potus traveled to Alabama to pay their respects & comfort victims of the tornado devastation. In typical fashion, @theview chooses to laugh in the face of tragedy. Shameful."
