Melania Trump’s Nighttime Sunglasses Prompt Questions After Air Force One Arrival

The viral images coincided with the president praising her documentary.

Overview

  • AFP via Getty Images captured the first lady wearing large sunglasses in darkness after landing at Joint Base Andrews and while boarding Marine One.
  • She continued to wear the shades upon arrival on the White House lawn.
  • Users on X questioned the choice, and some revived the long-debunked body-double hoax.
  • Speaking aboard Air Force One, President Trump called her film a “tremendous hit” and said he was proud of its success.
  • Coverage notes the documentary’s strong opening followed by a steep box-office drop, Amazon MGM’s reported $40 million rights deal, and director Brett Ratner’s past sexual-assault accusations and DOJ-released photos.
