Question: How frequently are we seeing TSF's body doubles?

Gotta be a lucrative although dead end gig. Provide for some family you can carve out a trust for, but you gotta know your days are numbered and when the gig is up the gig is up.

I ask this only because the difference between the really unflattering “lost idiot” photos vs the “not sleeping /drooling/rambling” photos/video is incongruous, but it’s out there.

1. "when you're a star ...." was there ever really a "real" trump?

they might all be clones, or holograms.

2. I saw an obvious Melania double during the first term.

Woman standing next to Trump pretending to be Melania, wearing a big hat and sunglasses.
With the upper arms of a 20 year old.
And she let Trump kiss her and laughed when he did.

3. There's got to be a couple of what I call Debate Donnies out there...

Surrogates are all the buzz in AI land. Supposedly training up a copy/clone with all of the recorded works of the all too fleshy original.

They can only pump so many liters of speed and put so many coats of shellac on old yeller.

The fate of these imposters is unclear in the long term basing themselves on a malignant narcissist who will inevitably insist on being unique and uncrowded in the spotlight.

4. Putin is well known to use body doubles. Trump would probably love to copy that.

Of course Trump likes the attention so much, he would find it hard to share the ass kissing.
However, I suspect that some days Trump cannot get out of bed.
And may be totally out of it.

Right life span of a body double probably is not a long one.
