Melania Trump (played by the very talented Laura Benanti) was back on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, talking turkey about her recent action to stick a knife into deputy national security adviser Mira Ricardel. As usual, the segment is sidesplittingly funny. Let’s partake in the comedy -

I look forward to the annual pardoning of the turkey; the only ones in the White House that won’t be going to jail.

Aah no. Stephen, you know me. You know me. All I want is to end bullying and if you disagree with that I will crush you like a tiny bug underneath my stilettos. Crunch. Crunch.
Colbert: But isn’t this something you should have handled with your husband in private?
Oh, Stephen, I haven’t touched my husband’s privates in years.

In case you missed it, here is the episode from a month ago -
About her outfit — I’m just going to keep it on through Halloween. I’m going as the ghost of colonialism.
I have been called the worst names imaginable - cold, heartless, Eric’s stepmother.

Laughter is the best medicine :-)
Happy Thanksgiving.
