\nSunglasses at Night
\nDonald and Melania Trump have returned to Washington, D.C., after spending Thanksgiving in Florida, but
\nit wasn’t the former president who went viral this time
\n– it was Melania’s outfit.
\nThe Trump family spent the holiday weekend at Mar-a-Lago with their son Barron. While Donald made
\nheadlines for various political comments and appearances, Melania largely stayed out of public view and
\nfocused on family time.
\nBut once the long weekend ended, her quiet profile changed.

\nOn Sunday evening, Marine One touched down on the White House lawn. As Donald and Melania Trump
\nexited the helicopter – after previously stepping off Air Force One
\n– viewers online noticed something<\/p>\n
unusual:
\nIt was pitch dark outside, yet Melania was wearing oversized sunglasses.
\nCritics on X (formerly Twitter) quickly pounced:
\n“She’d walk down those stairs better if she wasn’t wearing sunglasses at night. Does she think she’s Anna
\nWintour?”
\n“If she’s not hiding behind sunglasses, she’s hiding under a huge hat. She doesn’t want to look at anyone”
\nAnd then came the conspiracy theories.<\/p>\n
Body Double Rumors Resurface
\nSome users revived the long-running, tongue-in-cheek claim that a Melania “double” appears at public
\nevents.
\n“Why would the real Melania wear sunglasses after dark???”
\n“Sunglasses at night – must be the body double.”<\/p>\n
“Is she channeling Cory Hart now? Normal people don’t wear sunglasses at night,” one joked, referencing
\nthe singer’s 1980s hit.
\nBut not everyone criticized her.
\nFans Defend Melania’s Look
\nSome users suggested practical reasons for the sunglasses:
\n“Maybe she wasn’t wearing eye makeup and didn’t want to be photographed. I do the same when I travel”
\none person wrote.
\nOthers praised her style:
\n“Melania should publish a fashion book. Her coats, jackets, sunglasses – she’s pure class.
\nOld Christmas Controversy Resurfaces<\/p>\n
As the holiday season begins, online chatter also revived a 2020 controversy involving Melania.
\nLast week. she welcomed the official White House Christmas tree
\n– a yearly tradition for first ladies.
\nBut in 2020, leaked audio released by former friend and adviser Stephanie Winston Wolkoff revealed
\nMelania expressing frustration with holiday duties during the Trump administration.
\nIn the 2018 recording, Melania vented that she was criticized for her husband’s border policies while
\nbeing expected to enthusiastically lead Christmas d\u00e9cor efforts:<\/p>\n
“They say I’m complicit. I’m like him. I don’t do enough. Meanwhile I’m working my a** off on Christmas
\nstuff – who gives a f*** about Christmas decorations? But I have to do it.”
\nShe also complained about being attacked for the family-separation policy while claiming similar issues
\nexisted under previous administrations.<\/p>\n
