Laura Benanti’s “Melania Trump” Is Here to Make America Christmas Again

by Katherine Cusumano
December 21, 2018 5:37 pm
"Melania Trump—as interpreted once again by Laura Benanti on the most recent episode of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert—will be thrilled. In a new sketch, which aired during Thursday night’s Late Show, Benanti sang and danced her way through a scathing holiday-themed satire of the first lady, unable to restrain her delight at the prospect of a Christmas spent alone."

Her homages to Tim Burton movies are ugly. Maybe this year, instead of traditional Christmas decorations, she'll deck the tree in pages from her divorce filing.

regarding Melania. But don’t watch it alone! It’s creepy scary! I suspect on the inside Melania is scary creepy like that.

The guys who made the movie were really pressured by the fans to continue doing the grudge movies even though they wanted to move on because it was such a huge hit in Japan.

From the bottom of the page: This website is not officially associated with The White House.

Note the URL: https://whitehouse.gov1.info/

From the primary URL: gov1.info


This website was created in 2009 as parody of whitehouse.gov called "not The White House". In 2012, a parody of the NSA website (Domestic Surveillance Directorate) was added. In 2013, 'IC OFF THE RECORD" was created to track the Snowden revelations.

In 2016, "White House Info" was launched providing detailed information about various White House related topics such as White House Tours, Easter Egg Roll, Camp David, and others.

You can also visit my blogs About Camp David and About Site R.

The site linked to by Nancy expressly says it is not an official site - and if you explore further it expressly says it was started as a parody site.

Not something I'd rely on if I were looking for informaiton about what someone in the Trump administration sayd.

it's fake. (And it's pretty slimy to use the white house icon (upper left corner) and name (whitehouse.gov1.info) when it isn't an official site.

Yes, it has disclaimers - but you have to hunt for them in what otherwise appears to be an official site.

It honored Eisenhower's Presidency. The helicopter is because he was the 1st President to take flight in one as Presidents.

This year's ornament features JFK.
