Trump doesn’t seem to cater to the MSM opinion.

Gotta love it.

I HATE the Media with a purple passion.

that’s what I think - he knows this isn’t damaging and that it ultimately works in his favor. I’m not even worried that the conversation has moved away from Hillary’s emails. He’s still nudging it back that direction but we all need the occasional distraction to keep the larger issues from becoming stale.

Yes, but it keeps Trump in the news. The guy is a genius...

It also demonstrates once again just how dishonest and in the tank for Clinton most of the media are.

“Over the phone, she read me some passages from Mrs. Obama’s speech as examples. I wrote them down and later included some of the phrasing in the draft that ultimately became the final speech. I did not check Mrs. Obama’s speeches. This was my mistake, and I feel terrible for the chaos I have caused Melania and the Trumps, as well as to Mrs. Obama. No harm was meant.”

No intent, as one would say.

It turns out to be free advertising.. And these walking heads (Trumphism) have inadvertently given US a refresher course in Michell's bitch of having never been proud of US... When I heard the speech, I thought it was in reference to these two faced republican candidates that demanded Trump sign a pledge, they signed to support the nominee. Those fake conservatives who worship the golden bull of Wall Street.

I was like Carville, convinced it was a setup. But evidently that isn’t the case. So, absent malice, milk it for PR value. Especially next week!

Now if Moochele Obama really wanted to show she was a classy “First Lady”, (don’t laugh) she would issue a statement and say she was flattered that Melania Trump admired her and she holds no ill will against her because of the speech. This would actually be the smart thing to do before Sean Hannity starts reporting that she herself plagerized the speech she gave in 2008.

It’s a reflection of how low everyone’s opinions are of today’s politicians that many people were convinced this was a dirty trick or Trump “trolling” the media for political points. Even “professional” pundits like Carville, Manafort, and Milo immediately went that route instead of exploring the possibility of a simple human mistake.

That’s right! One thing we can definitively say about Melania’s speech is that it wasn’t classified....on a private server...in a basement.

Only the MSM would keep this going on a Republican.

No, FReepers continue perpetuating this crap by incessant posting these Melania plagiarism threads. It reminds me of the gays here who were obsessed with chronic posting of gay/lesbian/transgendered garbage.

I agree. How refreshing to have a republican who doesn’t point fingers, apologize or fire a staffer every time the media tries to make him look bad. What a great president he will be!

Just curious: You do know he’s not saying “bigly”, right?

My wife and brother both thought he was saying that too until I told them what he’s really saying is “big league”.

If the “bigly” comment was just another case of humor going over my head, sorry :-), it’s just that it bothers me that so many people really think that he would use a word like “bigly”. It bothered me when Bush would call himself a decider instead of decision maker, and say strategery instead of strategy, or nucular instead of nuclear. Or when Obama visited almost all 57 states.

Trump is informal and off the cuff, uses slang, Yiddish, even slightly off color language, but he’s not ignorant and he doesn’t say bigly, thank God.

Just wanted to get that off my chest.

Moochie didn’t originate the core of this and the WH and MSM know it.

Yup. Back in 2008, Moochie was accused of lifting lines of her speech from Saul Alinsky's writings. A lot of her speech are common refrains written by others over previous decades.
