Donald Trump's 'Double' Could Be Viktor Knavs
During a recent Daily Show segment, host Jon Stewart played a clip of Donald Trump giving an interview in front of Air Force One following the World Cup final. Rather than commenting on Trump himself, Stewart zeroed in on a figure in the background: a man bearing quite the resemblance to Trump.
The man had a similar build, looked to be a similar age, wore a navy suit, and even rocked the same hairstyle Trump is known for. While Stewart joked that the man could be a "backup Trump," social media users are speculating that the man is actually Trump's father-in-law, Viktor Knavs, who is known to travel with the Trumps occasionally. This ignited a new wave of posts on social media as users got a kick out of Knavs' uncanny resemblance to Donald Trump.
Social Media Reactions
Across social media platforms, users couldn't help but crack jokes at Melania's expense. "Don't they say the daughters fall for men who look like their fathers?" one person asked on TikTok.
"Calling Dr. Freud!" joked another user.
"Holy daddy issues!" added a third person.
"That's pretty gross," wrote another user. "Also worth noting that her father looks younger than her husband..."
"My entire body just shuttered," added the next.
"Wow, he really does look like a body double from afar!" agreed another user.
"I feel like the relationship makes a little bit more sense," suggested another. "So once upon a time when she did love him, she probably saw her father."
