The Fake News photoshopped pictures of Melania, then propelled conspiracy theories that it’s actually not her by my side in Alabama and other places. They are only getting more deranged with time!

on a bunch of silly nonsense. The photo of Melania is real, with her being caught in the sunlight which is not very forgiving. He is such a blithering idiot.

Over the past 2 years she has already raked in millions winning lawsuits from overseas media outlets who printed stories such as one speculating that she worked for escort services etc. Most of the 'fake Melania' stuff was just goofy Twitter nonsense, but you can bet if an overseas tabloid publication reported on the controversy making speculative claims, she will sue.

Everything he says is a 180 from the truth.. so I'm now convinced that is indeed not Melanoma.

Seriously.

I haven't heard anything about any legit media outlet spreading these claims.

Unless he's actually talking about actual fake news (i.e. viral nonsense spread over social media) that has overwhelmingly benefited him in the past, but the term has since lost all value because Trump has turned it into referring to any news source saying anything he doesn't like.
