The entire country was left wondering what the First Lady was thinking as president Trump delivered his first State of the Union address earlier this week.
And now, Melania Trump is finally sharing her thoughts, thanks to Laura Benanti’s hilarious impersonation of the mysterious First Lady.
The actress’ version of Melania returned to Late Night with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday to deny that her husband had an affair with a porn star, and unknowingly, or perhaps purposely, support the Time’s Up movement.

The interview began with Melania stating her life is a ‘sea of loneliness’, before clarifying that the phrase is actually the name of her new fragrance, which has a ‘hint of “I live in a prison of my own making.'”
Host Stephen Colbert, who could barely contain his laughter as the ‘First Lady’ sprayed the fragrance in her mouth, then asked if the white suit she wore to Trump’s address to Congress was in support of women’s rights and suffragettes.
‘Yes, every day I’m suffraging,’ Benanti’s Melania replied.
After Colbert informs her the word refers to voting, the faux First Lady cheekily said: ‘I know, I cannot wait to vote in next presidential election.’
The interview then moved to the main topic, the president’s State of the Union Speech.
‘I was glued to my seat,’ said ‘Melania,’ who made headlines for staying seated with a stony expression as her husband made remarks about the importance of family values.

‘I was literally glued to my seat; that general Kelly is quite a prankster, huh?’ she said, as her laugh turned into hysterical crying.
‘I laugh because it’s true,’ she added as she quickly composed herself.
The always-posing ‘First Lady’ then discussed her husband’s alleged affair with porn star Stormy Daniels, which is said to have taken place right after Melania gave birth to their only child, 11-year-old Baron.
Taking a cue from her husband, the faux First Lady called reports of the affair ‘fake news.’
‘I do not believe my husband slept with this woman, Spanky Banjos,’ she said, botching the porn star’s name. ‘I mean what kind of disgusting pig monster would cheat on his wife with porn star right after she gave birth and then pay hush money to this Cranky Ponchos?’
Benanti’s Melania then said that everyone in the White House believes the reports are a lie, so she does as well.
‘Hashtag, me too,’ she said, seemingly unaware that the hashtag is used in support of the movement against sexual assault.
Denying Colbert’s assumption that she seemed upset for someone who didn’t believe the allegations that her husband cheated on her with a porn star, ‘Melania’ then had a message for her husband.
Time’s Up! The ‘First Lady’ assured Colbert she was only referring to her anniversary present to president Trump, a cheeseburger

‘If my husband’s watching, I have a message. Donald, time’s up,’ she said, striking a pose and pointing at her watch.
But when Colbert asked her to clarify her statements, the faux First Lady assured him she was only referring a cheeseburger, her anniversary present to her husband’s.
She then produced the president’s anniversary gift to her, followed by a pink cat ear-shaped knitted hat like the ones worn at the woman’s march.
The hats have become a symbol of resistance, and have been dubbed the ‘pussyhat’ after the president’s ‘grab ’em by the pussy’ comment on the Access Hollywood tape.
‘He got me a lovely hat. Well, he paid for it, but I picked it,’ the faux first lady admitted.
