No, Melania Trump didn't use a body double at the U.S. elections.
00:09
Videos have gone viral on social media supposedly showing Melania Trump's body double
00:14
appearing alongside her husband Donald Trump after they voted in the U.S. presidential election.
00:20
Rumors of a fake Melania are nothing new,
00:23
but they resurfaced after the Trumps cast their votes in Palm Beach in Florida.
00:27
Various posts on X claimed that the woman standing next to Trump was a body double,
00:31
with many putting the video beside a photo of what they said was the real Melania.
00:35
However, there's no evidence whatsoever that the woman beside Trump wasn't the real deal.
00:43
The couple spoke to the media after voting,
00:46
and no reputable news outlet has suggested that anything was amiss.
00:49
Instead, the media and paparazzi have explicitly identified the woman as Melania Trump.
00:54
Footage from AP, for example, clearly shows the Trumps leaving the polling station
00:59
with Donald Trump answering questions from the media.
01:01
Again, the woman next to him is identified as Melania by AP,
01:05
although she herself doesn't speak to the press.
01:07
Other news outlets that identified Melania at the scene include the New York Times and Getty Images.
01:13
Melania also posted a photo of her and Donald's son, Barron Trump,
01:17
casting his vote for the first time as an 18-year-old.
01:20
While Melania isn't in the picture, it's evidence that she was actually at the polling station.
01:25
Another reason why the fake Melania claims are unfounded
01:29
is because in-person voters in Florida needed to bring ID or sign an identity affidavit.
01:34
Failing that, they vote on a provisional ballot instead.
01:37
Any woman posing as Melania would not have been able to do so.
01:41
With Donald Trump's second presidency now confirmed,
01:43
it's likely that more misinformation about him and his family will spread.
01:48
