Nobody but nobody in the political field writes their own speeches. And speechwriters are for hire for either side. I'm guessing that they may have hired the same speechwriter. Or the speechwriter got lazy and went back and looked at Obama’s speech for reference.

But let's not forget our current VP is a prolific plagiarist and yet the press didn't think it was worth mentioning in 2008

People do seem to forget that Donald is not a professional politician, and Melania is not a professional politician's wife.

You have cited a primary rule for pro pols/pol wives. Trump has spent his entire campaign standing the traditional political rules on their head.

I would also state that the media is having an orgasm over this snippet of platitudes because it allows them to ignore the substance of the speech and the stage presence of the lady giving it.
