Is This Melania Trump's Body Double?

There have been many conspiracies and theories about people and well-known celebrities being cloned. It has been said that the government is behind the cloning process. It has been said that the government would keep the person stored away or even killed, so they could be replaced. Recently, rumor about cloning is the look alike double people are saying that was not Melania standing beside trump. When people or celebrities do not look like themselves they are considered a clone from their personality to the way they look.

            On the video, Melania face seemed to be wider than usual. It that Melania was trying to hide her face behind dark shaded glasses. Donald Trump made an odd comment stating that “My wife, Melania who happens to be right here” (“Fact Check”). When he said that statement, it only adds more suspension to the situation. This would make the cloning rumor seem more real than it is. Was the person standing beside Donald Trump a clone or was it really Melania.

            Mostly likely, it was Melania standing beside Donald Trump. This rumor about Melania body double or clone is completely fabricated. According to Snopes.com, the video was taking at two different angles and two different devices. The originally video was taken by CNN. Melania face looked normal. The other video was a blurry version of the original and could have possibly edited and photo-shopped to add suspension to the government and the white house itself. Even though Donald trump used an odd phrase which raised people’s eyebrow, there is no proof that clones exist and no evidence on the making of clones came about.

            This rumor can relate to Knapp’s classification of mode transmission which is done by word of mouth which in this case daily newspaper articles. Another classification of Knapp’s classification is mythology. This rumor is a good example of Knapp’s outline, because it channels the Bogie rumor, which focuses more on fear and anxiety. This also can lead to problem that the government and the white house may face. Fear can be a bad thing that can cause the government or white house to be threatened. Fear of the government, the citizens could possible get together and overthrow the government.

 This rumor is a conspiracy plot to take away the attention of more important issues that is going on in the country. For example, there might be a possibility that there might be another war with the united states and Korea. We are so focus on this cloning and double body thing that the government put out there to distract us from the real problems that is going on in the world. In Korea, they are testing rockets and bombs to launch over into the United States. We should focus more on the government than these courageous acts and event in the news articles.
