Melissa has done it again.
She has trolled the White House in the most hilarious way, once more bringing laughter-tears to the eyes of an audience that now spans the globe.
Last week SNL (that's Saturday Night Live to the stragglers) dropped this hilarious skit.

Melissa McCarthy played the United States Press Secretary, Sean Spicer, and took the mickey out of his aggressive tone, his distrust and dislike of reporters and use of visual aids.
We loved it, Twitter loved it, but Donald Trump - not so much.
Apparently his main qualm was, maybe you guessed it, that Spicer (or, Spicy, as Melissa takes to calling him) was being played by a woman.
Not the fact that McCarthy was mocking Spicer for lying and all-round being a pretty shoddy press secretary, but because she's a woman.
So to irk poor Trump even more - Melissa did it all over again.
Yes, she used little dolls to act out 'extreme vetting' on US border control.
Used a leaf-blower on a journalist Spicy didn't like.
And, the crown-jewel of the skit, had a spontaneous infomercial for Ivanka Trump's clothing.

Although it was Kellyanne Conway who decided to give Ivanka an IRL free commercial live on TV.
Spicy (we can't help calling him that now) has been vocal in protecting Trump's 'right' to publicly bash companies who decide not to stock his daughter's line.
Through Trump's, Kellyanne's and Spicy's comments the Trump administration has essentially been attempting to protect, and even promote Ivanka's brand.
Hence why Melissa hiked up her leg to get those shoes on display.
Such flexibility, such uncanny ability to annoy Trump.
