We've IDd the mystery woman in those Melania-Trump-impostor rumors. (Its Melania Trump.)

Washington Post:

It began with a guy who sells hemp syrup for a living.

Joe Vargas speculated on Twitter that the woman standing next to President Trump as he prepared to travel to a Secret Service training center in Maryland — call her Woman X — was not, in fact, Trump’s wife, Melania. It was instead some mystery woman, outfitted with big sunglasses and long hair (a wig????) and told to stand next to the president. “Mind blowing,” Vargas said.

Oh, and, in case you think, “Hmm. That actually looks like Melania” — Vargas would like you to know that you are wrong, and he has proof. To wit:

And in case you’re still thinking, “Uhh, those are photos of the same person” — some other people that were replying to Vargas have even more proof.

We rest our case, your honor. We may now move on to wondering, who is Woman X? And more important: Why?

Well, having deployed the vast resources of The Washington Post (namely, me) to address questions, we can now say with certainty that we know the answers.

Woman X is no other than … Melania Trump. And why is she standing there? Because she is the president’s wife, and sometimes she travels with him to places.
