After a brief hiatus from public view, Donald Trump’s return sparked new rumors online about the possibility of a body double. The 79-year-old former president was seen leaving the White House and speaking to reporters, but his noticeably puffier face caught the internet’s attention. Social media quickly filled with speculation, with some users joking that the person spotted wasn’t Trump but a stunt double.
These rumors aren’t new; previously, there were strange claims that Melania Trump had been replaced by a lookalike during official events. Height differences and facial changes observed in group photos earlier this year also stirred conspiracy theories. Experts explain that posture, camera angles, and footwear can easily affect perceptions of height and appearance.
Trump responded firmly on his social media platform, Truth Social, saying he has “never felt better in my life” and dismissing the rumors as fake news. Despite reassurances, the chatter continues as conspiracy believers remain skeptical about the true state of his health.
