The donjohn Tuesday speech included "This is in fact our new American moment..." Hillary said it first 9/8/2010. Another Trump plagiarizes?

Melania Trump plagiarized a Michelle Obama speech. When caught she said she admired Michelle. Well
the donjohn's speechwriters plagiarized Hillary. She said those words among others in a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations September 8, 2010. So Trump ghostwriters read others' speeches and use them?

    I takes more than a common phrase "new American moment" to constitute plagiarism.

    Well really nothing new under the sun. I heard that long before 2010 - didn't Nixon say it?   What does it matter?  Anything we say or write has been done before by somebody.   Remember when Obama "plagiarized" from Deval Patrick and Sammy Davis Jr.?  Anyway most speeches are written by others now. I understand that the last Pres to write his own speeches was Calvin Coolidge.
