ALL of what I said is true, LOL.
The point you make in your post is correct also...speech writers will amplify on biographical material and other notes provided by the speaker-to-be.
To add to your observation, the speaker is always free to add or subtract to the speech-writer's end product as he/she sees fit.
However, she appears to have been reading a text provided for her based on her notes or whatever...it's basically irrelevant.
The syntax in the speech is not her style of speaking, so it leads me to my conclusion that she's completely innocent of any plagiarism charges....and that a campaign staff speech writer is the varlet here, either by deliberate sabotage or willful, sneaky laziness.
The sentences were definity cribbed, unless one has one's head in the sand like an ostrich!
I feel really bad for Melania.

See 113. Reince said he would probably fire the speech writer.
In my so very humble opinion, the best thing for Trump campaign to do now is......admit it was a mistake done by some staff member in submitting the text to Melania, and move on. It is a serious mistake to refuse to acknowledge the mistake or fight it.
Rush Limbaugh played several instances of past plagiarisms by Obama, Biden, and others, on his show this morning. But at the end of day, to me anyway, it is just words in English.
