Sardonically comical nicknames like “Fake Melania” and “Fauxlania” surged online as many continued to barrage the SNS platform with commentary pointing out how this woman couldn’t have been the real deal.

“Umm, that is NOT Melania. Sorry. I’m not buying it. Whoever was at the polls today with Don, WASN’T MELANIA. I guess the check bounced,” an eagle-eyed netizen tweeted on X.

“The thing is, she doesn’t even look like Melania. The gigantic shades are a dead giveaway,” wrote another. A third quipped, “I’m excited that he brought Fake Melania back one last time for his series finale.” Many couldn’t seem to get around the image of a constantly beaming Melania walking beside Donald Trump. “She’s smiling, that’s not Melania,” joked an X user.

Others looked closely at her “bone structure,” comparing her November 5 appearance with previous outings. “That is fake Melania. Pictured is Melania at MSG compared to today. Bone structure is not even close,” someone pointed out online.

Another hawk-eyed Twitterati wrote, “Melania has furrows that run from her cheeks to underneath her chin. The other woman does not. Also notice the hazy filter on the camera that makes it hard to see detail.”

Meanwhile, several others satirically joked about how Trump “hired” the “Fake Melania, as one said, “Donnie couldn’t find Melania today so he brought fake Melania.”

Yet another person commented, “The check didn't clear in time for the real Melania to make an appearance, so they had to bring the doppelganger off the bench.”

While Melania’s appearance left many befuddled, Donald Trump’s interaction with reporters soon became the talk of the hour as he admitted to accepting the outcome of the presidential elections, irrespective of which way they swing. “If I lose an election, if it’s a fair election, I’m going to be the first one to acknowledge it, and I think it’s — well, so far, I think it’s been fair,” he said, as per The New York Times.
