Skeptical Twitter users seem to believe that First Lady Melania Trump used a body double when she and the President appeared before media on Friday. The stir began when eagle-eyed tweeter @JoeVargas pointed out that FLOTUS didn't quite look like herself in a CNN clip from the appearance.

He followed up with a side-by-side comparison:

He also quoted a telling line from Donald that made Melania's appearance seem even more suspicious:

Someone added that the quote was reminiscent of the time Trump seemed to forget Melania was standing next to him:

2. We thought it was odd he forgot his wife was standing right behind him. -- Was that her or a stand in? Can you do a comparison? — Amanda - F*ck Trump & The GOP - Blount 🌊 (@amandablount2) October 18, 2017

Twitter proceeded to freak out. Some people guessed who could possibly be taking FLOTUS' place:

The Melania body double conspiracy theory is the new "Avril Lavigne was replaced by a lookalike" in the sense that I'm very here for it — Chris Stedman (@ChrisDStedman) October 18, 2017

There was also this very valid warning:

However, as entertaining as the body double concept sounds, there's substantial proof that it's actually completely wrong. A photo taken of the First Lady that day, in the same outfit but this time without her sunglasses, shows that the woman is, in fact, Melania Trump.
