Spanish Woman Looks More Like Trump Than The Donald Himself
By David Moye
They say every- one has a twin, and for Donald Trump that per- son may be a woman in rural Spain.
Dolores Leis Antelo has lived with her husband on a farm in Cabana de Bergantiños for 40
years. Although she doesn’t have a computer or a phone, Antelo has achieved viral fame since she was pho- tographed by journalist Paula Vázquez.
Antelo posed with hoe in hand for an article about how farmers were adjusting to recent storms.
“Dolores was
going to her farm to pick some cab- bages,” Vasquez told the Spanish- language publica- tion Faro de
Vigo. “So I talked with her for a while, while a girl- friend was taking pictures of her, and I took the opportunity to take another photo with my cellphone.
Vasquez liked how the photo came out and posted it on Instagram, though she still didn’t notice Antelo’s resem- blance to the leader of the free world.
But other people did, and the photo went viral,
being favorited more than 8,000 times and retweeted 4,700 times, according to Newsweek.
She is taking her new notoriety in stride, telling the Spanish-lan- guage newspaper La Voz de Galicia, “My photo seems to have traveled far.
I say it is because of the color of my hair.”
Her daughter, Ana, is slightly more excited, telling the reporter, “Imagine if we were in Donald Trump’s family!”
So far, the presi- dent hasn’t tweet- ed about his dop-
pelgänger, but Vasquez told Faro de Vigo that Antelo is “charmed” to dis- cover she looks like Trump.
She said many people who live near the woman are now calling her Donald Trump’s cousin.
