Her chat with hostStephen Colbert, while she was in character, proved rather meta as she joked that the idea of there being more than oneMelania Trumpwas absurd.
“How could there be twoMelania Trumps? Think about it: Doesn’t it seem crazy there’s even one?” she said. “Why would anyone impersonateMelania Trump, for what? Attention? Applause? Besides, it’d take some kind of Tony-award winning actor to pull off this role.”
