These comparison photos from @RedStateBlues20 fanned the flames.
Swipe these two photos back & forth. Notice the two front teeth. Melania’s are more squared…THAT AIN’T HER in the other photo. #FakeMelania pic.twitter.com/ge18TBarhy

Twitter was soon on board – the conspiracy theory, not the helicopter.
