Melania Trump Plagiarized Her Convention Speech From Michelle Obama

[HomerJS]

Before you claim a staffer wrote the speech, in an interview with Matt Lauer she said

“I read once over it but that’s all because I wrote it with [as] little help as possible,"

So she cannot blame anyone but herself.

Here is the story. Judge for yourself

Those seem to be pretty common themes in such speeches, though.

Well I should care about plagiarism, but this isn't Benghazi so I don't.

I give her props, Michelle O is a great First Lady to look up to and emulate. Learn from Steve Jobs...you steal from the best and make it your own.

Whatever the source of her speech, I think she did a good job with the delivery, considering English is her fourth language and she has no experience with public speaking.

Looks like Melania isn't as smart as our current FLOTUS but she sure is sneakier

Oh fuck you, my thread is better.

that damn liberal gotcha media always doing checks. what's next, they gonna say donald didnt donate money to the vets?

 

[HomerJS]

Wonder if Fox has talked about this yet? If they stick to their MO will avoid as long as possible

Not sure they covered the Roger Ailes/Gretchen story

10 grand isn't much, for Trump, compared to what he rants about.

Trump doesn't give a shit about vets, unless they get him elected.

The local Benghazi commercial they showed here near the start of the RNC convention was really pathetic.

what's sad is that there are actually vets out there, and current active duty, who think he has their best interests in mind. sickening really.

Can't the Trump's do anything without fucking it up and causing drama?

Vp choice, the logo, the rollout, the 60 mins interview, everyday the last week has been a fuckup.

 

[Blackjack200]

Besides the plagiarism, someone Rick rolled her speech too.

Hahaha, the Trumps got punkd by the speech writer. This is glorious.

HAHAHA! This is too good.

BTW - Trump campaign released a statement blaming in on Melania's "team" of writers

Wait a second, wasn't her claim she wrote the entire speech?

Another exciting day in the Trump saga..... Nothing surprises me anymore. lol

 

[Bitek]

How can there be a team, there are only 30 people working for the entire campaign?

Accent is horrible also. Painful to listen to.

 

[HomerJS]

Imagine she has been married to this guy for 11 years and couldn't think of anything nice to say about him without plagiarizing?

Doesn't say much for the Donald

 

[Blackjack200]

HOOOOLLLY SHIIIT

Guys, I don't know how to embed or link Twitter but look at @diane_7a timeline. TRUMP PLAGIARIZED HIS FUCKING TWEET CONGRATULATING MELANIA.

GUYS... HE STOLE IT FROM OBAMA.

How fucking deep does this rabbit hole go? WTF is going on?

Edit: shit looks like that's a fake. That would have brought the house down.

 

[compuwiz1]

I fully expect Melania's poll numbers to tank immediately.

 

[HomerJS]

If Michelle in 20008 lifted one of Nancy Regan's speeches Republicans would have insisted Obama drop out.

 

[ivwshane]

Msnbc is going off on this and they are calling for the speech writers head. They think this plagerism was an attack on trumps family and they think trump should be mad as hell and should be going after who ever did this to Melania. They are calling for the speech writer to own up to this.

Not what I was expecting.

Oh the Humanity

 

[compuwiz1]

So, if the speech was written, in whole, or in part, by someone else, how would Melania have known, if something plagiarized was slipped in there? Not condoning the plagiarism, just have questions. I don't think we are to the bottom of this yet, unless she wrote the whole thing herself, knowing she had used Michelle's 2008 speech for some of it.

LOL @ the Trumps.

A buddy of mine the other day insisted that Donald is actually a friend of Hillary, and that this whole JOKE of a campaign is really just a favor to her, to guarantee her coronation.*

I had to ponder that one for a minute...

Eh. I doubt it's true, but definitely the whole Trump campaign is a complete and total farce. One of the biggest trolls in modern history. Lifting part of the Obamas' bullshit is probably just another joke to these people.

*Indeed they do go back...

The Trump as Stalking Horse meme is not at all new.

This whole thing is such an unforced error.
