She’s co-written 4-5 books of Trump’s. Probably why he wouldn’t accept her resignation.

I have an idea...call me crazy...but how about writing your own damn speeches.

[Sir Napsalot]

Stupid move.

Media overuse of Michelle O’s words as if it was utterly original, and this only adds fuel to the Gotcha! feeding frenzy.

In one sentence of Melania's speech there were three very common phrases that Michelle Obama had used in a previous speech and many other politicians use continually. Your word is your bond, work hard to get what you want and another one.

It was stupid to make a big deal about this. It detracts from Melania's very good speech which was completely different from the leftist cliches Michelle Obama spouts out.

Melania did not say she was ashamed to be an American like Michelle Obama has done.

She should have just said she looked at other speeches including Michelle Obama’s speech and then included similar wording.

She should not make a big deal about this.

Michelle Obama did not originate these phrases. Her speechwriters borrowed them from many previous speeches.

To me this event is similar to so many past Trump controversies it seems orchestrated. Looking at this from 10,000 feet it is a given that Melania would be attacked for something. So, they were handed something on a silver platter. This gave the news cycles something negative to center on for days on something Trump turns into an example of what a reasonable and gracious employer he is.

The negative press turned this act into the crime of the century. The culprit should be hanged or at least fired. After days of breathless accusations of theft, we find an employee is taking the blame for making a mistake. Trump treats this woman (possible African-American ) with compassion for her crime. But wait, isn't Trump a misogynist?

If anyone deserves an apology for plagiarism it is Victor Hugo's Les Misérables. The press as Jean Valjean and Trump as prisoner 24601. This has played out like a scene from that famous musical depicting grace and mercy triumphing over the law.

Remember Melania's final words of her speech: “It Would Not Be a Trump Contest Without Excitement and Drama”

It was simply inexcusable.

I wouldn’t allow my kid to get off that lightly.

McIver has a very forgiving boss.

Is McIver a democcrat?

Not following the media, I wonder how many have brought up Biden’s history of plagiarism?
