Stephen Colbert continued, “Now, ma’am, your husband was also absent from view for a period this summer, possibly due to health issues. And I understand that he’s been diagnosed with something called chronic venous insufficiency.”
“Oh, sadly, it’s true. He has a very small venous,” Laura Benanti, appearing as Melania Trump said.
