JoIt is the most wonderful time of the year. And by that we mean that Melania Trump, of Laura Benanti, is back The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to spill everything about his last Christmas at the White House.
As the host explained to viewers Monday night, expectations for the first lady’s decoration were “higher than usual this year,” because just before her “friend” was diagnosed with COVID-19 i Melania and I. author Stephanie Winston Wolkoff launched secretly recorded conversations in which she “channels her inner Grinch.”
“I’m working like my ass on Christmas stuff, you know?” Melania Trump was heard saying on the tapes. “Who the fuck with Christmas stuff and decorations? But I have to, right? ”
“Okay, that may sound bad, but the president was right,” Colbert added. “Let’s say‘ Christmas ’again.” She didn’t say, “Who the fuck does happy holiday stuff”? ”
When Benanti’s Melania Trump joined her “by satellite” from the White House, Colbert began by asking about the maskless Christmas parties she and her husband have been celebrating during the height of the pandemic.
“Oh, who doesn’t wake up a little sick after a good party?” she asked in response. “Also, I’ve always considered nausea a side effect of spending a night with my husband.” As for her more traditional decorations, she explained: “After years of buying spooky decorations at the Halloween store, I finally wanted to express the real Melania. So I took these beautiful, perfectly happy trees, dragged them to the White House and covered them with glitter so that you wouldn’t realize that they were slowly dying inside. ”
He Late Show it looks likely to be the closest thing to the first lady dealing with her comments against Christmas. “Stephen, that was just‘ dressing room conversation, ’” he said. “Also, I was just quoting my favorite carol.” From there, the Broadway star began singing, “Who’s doing Christmas shit? Who does Christmas shit? Who does shit Christmas stuff and decorations? “
Finally, after previewing her upcoming memoirs by reading aloud those of Michelle Obama Become, the first lady addressed rumors that she “just wants to go home” while her husband fights to steal the election to President-elect Joe Biden.
“Yeah, Stephen, it’s like I keep telling my husband,” she said. “Donald, it’s over. We both know it ended a while ago. Now we just have to accept it and continue until the prenup is over. “
Asked by Colbert what else he wants to achieve before he leaves a month later, she replied, “Forgive me, Stephen?” When she repeated the question, she clarified, “No, I heard you. Before I leave the White House, I want my husband to forgive me. I can’t go to jail! I don’t want to share a cell with Kayleigh McEnany! ”
