I read through to reply 120 and am now skipping to the end.
I know what this is. It’s not a mole in the Trump camp. It’s the type of borrowing that people do under pressure and their main fault is that they don’t think anyone will notice. Students do it all the time, and the professor picks right up on it and gives them an F. Some are so dumb they do it from Wikipedia and think no one will notice. That’s all it is. An inexperienced and not very bright and not very talented or inspired speechwriter.
I think the whole thing is meaningless because it happens so often. You would think a presidential candidate would have better speechwriters but I guess not.
The sad thing is that they didn’t trust Melania to write her own speech completely, without any help. It would have be a knockout!
would have be = would have been

You make a lot of great points in your post. Your comments above may very well be correct: It was just bad speechwriting. I kind of hope you're not, given the high profile nature of this speech...
