Palace intrigue over the first couple took off after Melania Trump posted the official White House Christmas portrait on Twitter.
"'Merry Christmas from President Donald J. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump,' FLOTUS tweeted on Friday, adding that the photo of the couple wearing matching tuxedos on the Grand Staircase — which was decorated for holidays — was taken on Dec. 10 by photographer Andrea Hanks.

Here are some of the examples of people arguing the photo was manipulated:
