Broadway Actress Says ‘We Are All Melania Trump’
“I do have empathy for her,” Laura Benati said about her first lady impersonations.

Broadway star Laura Benanti has dropped by Stephen Colbert’s ‘Late Show’ four times to tout her impersonation of Melania Trump. But she assured audiences on Monday night — and elaborated in an interview with USA TODAY — that she doesn’t want her impression of the first lady to be interpreted as malicious.
“I do not want it to appear as if I am making fun of her. I think she’s beautiful. She speaks five languages,” Benanti said. “I do not mean it to be insulting to her or disrespecting to her.”
Take a look for yourself. Can you see the resemblance?
