Trump accuses media of editing photos of first lady to stoke ‘Fake Melania’ conspiracy theory

President Donald Trump on Wednesday accused “deranged” media outlets of digitally editing pictures of first lady Melania Trump and fanning the flames of conspiracy theories that the first lady employed a body double last week on the couple’s trip to survey tornado damage in Alabama.

The unfounded “Fake Melania” theory, which purports that the first lady uses a stand-in to appear at certain events alongside the president, resurfaced on Twitter this week following the Trumps’ trip to Alabama and was further amplified when the panel on ABC’s “The View” devoted a segment to discussing the theory.

“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 claimed Wednesday in a tweet. “They are only getting more deranged with time!”

The president offered no evidence to support his claim that members of the media had intentionally photoshopped images of the first lady in order to stir controversy — a move that would amount to a major ethical breach on the part of a press outlet.

1. Even the "Fake Melania" ..........

Did not appear all that happy to be with the Donald from what I could tell.

2. Gotta be the worse gig in the world

TBH

6. Is he making

"demands" on her?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

12. Demands, meaning....

Is he asking for sex? He does seem obsessed.

13. As in grabbing things?

Well considering MF45's rep...........

3. Edging closer to the day

The Melbot 3000 will come out, repeating "Be Best, Be Best, Be Best" while a curl of smoke goes up from the back of her head and a whiff of ozone hangs in the air. Some luckless Secret Service agent will be blown to pieces when he grabs the Melbot and attempts to whisk it away from the cameras.

4. By accusing the media of manipulating the images, isn't he acknowledging it doesn't look like her?

Logic is not strong in The Donald.


I think it is more likely that when people say "It doesn't look like her" they are comparing heavily made up, heavily controlled, staged/planned photo op photos with less controlled, more informal photos. And the discrepancy is larger than people initially appreciate -- because they underestimate how fake she and Donald are when they know they will be on camera. Everything from the height of their shoes to the density of their hair to the texture of their skin is up for manipulation if you give them time to prepare.

5. The WH could just release the 'original, un-retouched' version and put this all to bed -

if it's a fake. Right?

7. Trump calling it "fake news" makes it seem more credible to me.

"Fake news," roughly translated, generally seems to mean, "Fuck!! They caught me again!!"

8. He thinks Twitter is a media outlet. He can't tell the difference.

He seriously thinks social media is media. Actual media should educate him.

9. Well if he is accusing people of editing the photos, I'm finally convinced it might not be her.

All he does is project.

10. "Fake Melania" is a nutty conspiracy theory, imo, but this I find disturbing -

Look at the amusement and glee on the faces of these two pieces of crap in the midst of so much suffering and destruction.

14. At least she isn't wearing her designer stiletto heels.

11. He sounds more and more unhinged.

This is so abnormal, a president who spends most of his time nursing grievances and tweeting his hatred.

And on the day his campaign manager gets sentenced AND indicted on multiple corruption counts... and there's a new allegation of a huge illegal campaign donation NOT for his earlier campaign, but his 2020 campaign-- and from "a fugitive playboy" who has been trying to buy influence all over the globe to get out of his billion-dollar-scam charges. -- BROIDY (remember him? the "other" Michael Cohen client?) was involved.
Same guy== Jho Low -- dealing with Broidy AND now donating $100K to Trump.

A top republican donor close to President Donald Trump tried to negotiate a $75 million fee from the man at the center of the 1MDB scandal if he could get the U.S. to stop investigating the Malaysian state investment fund, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Elliott Broidy, a longtime Republican donor, and his wife, Robin Rosenzweig, discussed setting up a consulting contract with Jho Low, who has been accused of embezzling state funds, the WSJ, according to emails that the publication reviewed.

One email showed a proposal that would have given Broidy and his wife $75 million if they got the Justice Department to drop its probe into 1MDB.
