Melania Trump’s first major stump speech for her husband and White House hopeful Donald Trump was supposed to be uplifting, but instead appeared to have lifted lines from First Lady Michelle Obama.
A portion of Melania's speech praising values and hard work was eerily similar to Obama's Democratic National Convention speech she delivered in Denver in 2008.
“From a young age, my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond; that you do what you say,” Trump said in Cleveland.
The phrase mirrors the First Lady’s speech praising values she shared with President Obama during her speech in 2008.
“Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: like, you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond; that you do what you say you're going to do,” Obama said on stage in Denver.
The Donald Trump campaign offered no explanation for the stolen words in a statement issued early Tuesday and instead, it showered her speech with praise.
Sharonna's questions says that Melania claims she wrote it. O_o
These are the same people who are going to make America great again ???...LMAO !
Two whole sentences in a 20-minute speech may have been plagiarized; the almost identical "speech" I used to get all the time from my high school teachers and my parents. Bet that makes Paul McCartney feel better about losing that copyright lawsuit over My Sweet Lord and He's so Fine . . .
She did leave out the part Michelle said (and I paraphrase here) about this moment being the first time in her adult life that she was proud to be an American and substituted that she was so proud and happy to be able to have the privilege of (legally) becoming a citizen of the USA, the greatest country in the world. So there's that . . . ;>)
Hello Goat:
It's a show, isn't it? Preibus said he'd probably fire the speechwriter. The campaign said NOTHING happened.. That's unity, alright. Bwa, ha ha ha..
Take the week off, Hillary... In fact, you can take the MONTH off.. The Republicans are DESTROYING themselves...
excon
lol!
So...I turn on the telly and the first thing I see is Trump issuing a statement that Melania wrote most of it herself.
TBH, If HC hid until November, her poll #'s would skyrocket
I saw that this morning..She did indeed say she wrote it or at least Trump SAID she wrote it.
If this isn't plagiarizing, it's Psychic transmitting.. sheesh! lol
IKR? Hah!
Probably..then he'll receive a severance and get a gig as a pundit on CNN, MSNBC, or FOX.
I love irony :)
So you've gotta be racist about too?
You silly person...
