Uproar! Melania Trump Caught Borrowing Cliches From Michelle Obama Speech
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 7/19/2016 | John Merline

CLEVELAND -- So the speech on the first night of the Republican National Convention that "everyone is talking about" was Melania Trump's endorsing her husband's candidacy, which appeared to have lifted passages from Michelle Obama's speech endorsing her husband's candidacy eight years ago.

I just saw the speech. Unbelievable! She actually referred to her husband as "the next President of the United States"!

Clearly a word for word ripoff of Michelle X.

Never in the history of Nominating Conventions has anyone uttered the words, "the next President of the United States" besides Michelle X.

And she clearly stole that Black Power salute from Michelle as well.

"For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback" ?

I saw the side by side video that is out there. It shows Michelle speaking a line then cuts to Melania speaking the exact same line. Someone set her up to look foolish. It happened. That being said, Melania looked pretty hot saying it, who noticed? Did anyone see her butt in that dress? A sexy butt, not huge like Michelle’s. Melania is a beauty. She gave a great speech and has a good stage presence. The rest is just bad hype.

Cliches. That’s all they are.

When we should be talking about righteousness and its attendant freedom.

Responding to this lefty blather is beyond stupid and a mark of gross insecurity; sending a signal to both friend and more importantly foe; that the Trump Org can be easily called out and rattled.

http://www.dailynewsbin.com/news/rickrolled-melania-trump-also-inexplicably-plagiarized-rick-astleys-never-gonna-give-you-up/25267/

“It’s not immediately clear whether Melania knowingly inserted the “Never Gonna Give You Up” lyrics into her speech on purpose as a way of intentionally Rickrolling the nation, or if a speechwriter slipped these words into her speech as a way of trying to make her look foolish. In light of the larger picture in which so much of the speech was stolen from Michelle Obama, it’s fair to ask the question of whether a rogue speechwriter was trying multiple avenues of embarrassing Melania in the same speech. In any case, it caused Rick Astley’s name to briefly become a trending topic on Twitter. “

This is a manufactured story to by the media to take the glow off of Melania. Nothing more. When you compare her to Hillary the media realized they had to do something to make her somehow look uglier than Hillary. That of course is impossible.

so has she said she was ashamed of her country, like the gangling, horse toothed, uncoordinated man who serves as first lady now?

I agree as much as I’d like to otherwise

Two paragraphs and being raised and leaving how you were raised to your spawn are 75% identical and despite freeper protest it looks like the writer was inspired by or borrowed from Chewy

Really stupid

Poor Melania

I love her and they are going to chew her up

Trump could pony up and simply admit his writer liked the words and was inspired by the current First Lady when putting the speech together

It takes quite a reach to think this is coincidence

RE>I didn’t watch the speech. Please tell me she didn’t refer to Donald Trump as her Baby Daddy

Actually she delivered an incredible speech with heart felt conviction. She nailed it.
