Melania didn't write that speech. It's rare for pols (or family members) in the upper strata of politics to write their own material ...they don't have the time.....and generally don't have the writing skills needed, either.

During my own political career, in the off-years I wasn't up for re-election I had my own side business of doing PR for candidates up to and including the state level....designing layout and writing text for their brochures and full-page ads, writing their speeches, etc. Even those "Report to My Constituents" articles you see on the editorial pages of your local newspapers weekly or bi-weekly are ghost-written. I wrote columns for my conservative state senator for two years.

There's nothing new here, it's been going on for decades and decades immemorial. Major-league politics is a time-consuming business and it's a given that those plying this particular trade will employ professional speech writers and ghost-writers for their columns, speeches, books and so-called "autobiographies".

My take on this "plagiarism" report is either that it's deliberate sabotage or that it's a lazy, sneaky or unstable writer within the Trump campaign staff.

Mostly all true what you said. But Melania is on video saying she wrote the speech MOSTLY herself. My guess is she wrote her biographical content herself, and then embellished by professionals, who probably found previous first lady speeches on google to add.
