Video of Trump Supporter in Huge MAGA Hat Sparks Gags: 'Is That...Melania?'

A Trump supporter who showed up in front of the former president's Mar-a-Lago residence with a giant foam MAGA hat to protest the FBI raid of the Florida estate was mocked on social media for her "ridiculous" outfit.

A clip of the woman, Trump supporter Jennifer Eady, condemning the FBI raid as a "witch hunt" and accusing the Biden administration of "weaponising the FBI" was watched over 2.7 million times on Twitter, after the clip was shared by journalist Ron Filipkowski.

"The Democrats are weaponizing the FBI and it has to stop! The FBI is not here to weaponize against another president. It never has happened before," she said in the clip.

"They should go after things that are clearly a violation, meaning the Hunter laptop, which they don't even have to investigate because the laptop is right there. All the evidence is right there. Hillary. All of that is not investigated. President Trump is investigated because they're scared that he's running and he will win again," she continued.

While it's unclear what the woman thinks Hillary Clinton should be investigated for, there is an ongoing federal investigation into Hunter Biden's business activities.

Social media users commented that Eady's words were completely overshadowed by the sheer size of her MAGA hat, a giant foam version of the classic red MAGA hat that has apparently sold out on the website "Trump Rack," which sells all kind of Trump-related paraphernalia.

"The hat is so classic. You can't help but take her seriously as it flops around in the breeze while she's standing in front of a hotel that Trump lives in but not right now because it's hot and he has several depositions to give elsewhere," wrote a Twitter user.

"Underneath the hat are 15 other hats in decreasing size," tweeted another, highlighting the clownish look of Eady's hat.

On its website, Trump Rack actually recommends customers to wear the giant hat on top of a normal hat.

"Place the HUGE Foam Hat on top on the normal hat making sure to align properly so that the bill points forward. MAGA Hat Inception!!!," the website reads.

Some joked that the woman looked like the former president's wife Melania Trump.

"Is that...Melania?" one user asked. "Fake Melania," Filipkowski replied, while other suggested alternative names like "Felania" and "Felonia."

"Maybe the lady wearing the MAGA hat is having a bad hair day and the hat is the only one she could find in a hurry," one Twitter user joked.

Many social media users compared the woman - and all Trump supporters - to a cult member.

Eady told the Tampa Bay Times that she hopes for a Trump presidency in 2024, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as vice president.

But there's a chance that Trump might not be able to run for the presidency at the next election if he were found to be in breach of the Presidential Records Act of 1978. Under that legislation, all presidential records are owned by the public and should be maintained intact and preserved by the president, who then automatically transfers them into the custody of the National Archives once ready to leave office.
