Melania Trump Responds To Omarosa's Book In the recent segment from "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," comedian Laura Benanti impersonates Melania Trump, delivering a humorous response to Omarosa Manigault Newman's controversial book detailing her time in the White House. The skit explores Omarosa's claims that Melania is eagerly anticipating the end of Donald Trump's presidency, suggesting a potential divorce, a notion that raises eyebrows and laughter. Throughout the performance, the parody touches on various aspects of Melania's public persona, particularly her fashion choices which Omarosa alleges are intentional statements against her husband. One memorable point brought up in the segment was the infamous "I don't really care, do you?" jacket, which is presented as a deliberate rebuke aimed at Trump. The mock interview covers the tension within their marriage, juxtaposing it against light-hearted commentary about Melania's vacationing habits and her reactions to her husband’s infamous remarks, particularly his comments about NBA star LeBron James. Melania’s attempts to respond to those claims show a blend of humor and deflection, culminating in a comedic suggestion that perhaps her political leanings might lie elsewhere — even jokingly endorsing a move to the Lakers.
