Statement on Melania Trump Speech

"In writing her beautiful speech, Melania's team of writers took notes on her life’s inspirations, and in some instances included fragments that reflected her own thinking. Melania’s immigrant experience and love for America shone through in her speech, which made it such a success.”

-Jason Miller, Senior Communications Advisor

Best reply EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

-- the liberal press, who at Vox.com tweeted the "plagiarism" almost in real time. DJT had better set someone to work on ferreting out the mole. --

Yep. It usually takes a day at least for somebody to notice or find the plagiarism. That it was noticed in real time is a tell that it was planted and word was sent out.

Here we go again! Hysterical freepers - the same people who wanted to throw Sarah Palin overboard when they found out one of her kids was pregnant - are now in meltdown because Melania made comments similar to The Mooch. They never, ever learn. They immediately accept the left-wing media’s sly reportage.

Chuck Todd is a disgrace.

[miss marmelstein]

She reminded me, both physically and class-wise, of Sophia Loren. If I’m thinking that, you know the media is thinking that and deciding she must be taken down...a la Sarah Palin.

"What we've learned over this year is that hope is making a comeback. It is making a comeback and let me tell you something, for the first time in my adult lifetime, I'm really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction and just not feeling so alone in my frustration and disappointment. I've seen people who are hungry to be unified around some basic common issues, and it's made me proud. And I feel privileged to be a part of even witnessing this, traveling around states all over this country and being reminded that there is more that unites us than divides us..."

however, Melinia was beautiful in a couture dress and the wookie on her best day couldn’t begin to measure up

Melinia is real

the wookie is synthetic

[bantam]

Like people drawing big salaries, and writing speeches for prime time iconic political rallies conspire, by scouring over previous first lady’s speeches, and copying content??
STFU already. Silly sh!t is starting right on cue.
Disruptors among us

[Cboldt]

The charge of plagiarism is credible not because of those common phrases, but because the order of presentation of four or five of them is in the same order.

From the campaign's statement, it appears Melania isn't the one who took the easy way through speech composition.

I guarantee Melania and Donald Trump knew the plagiarism was there. NOT AN ACCIDENT.
Why did they do it?

1. To help control a news cycle, with limited shelf space.
2. So people remember how they felt about Michelle that night, and how they feel now.
3. So hopefully the press will run split screen comparing the two women— I LIKE THAT MATCHUP

This is war, Trump’s a chess player against people playing checkers.

-- Everyone at FR hates Cruz these days, but he would have done much better at having a convention... --

It would be a tent revivial!

[boycott]

There are similarities. Besides, democrats plagiarize themselves all the time. “Tax and spend”....”Tax and spend”...”Tax and spend”. Been going on for decades.

Sort of like Obama copying Elizaberth Warren’s, “You didn’t build that” speech.

[highball]

“One of Melania’s paragraphs had sentences that were word for word the same as part Michele’s speech in ‘08 at the Dem convention.”

I saw the speech and read the transcripts and that’s incontrovertible. It’s such stupid, lazy plagiarism. Why on Earth would they do such a dumb thing?

[richardskeet]

Funny stuff.

[RummyChick]

I said early on Last night that she rick rolled us. Most people didn’t get it...now that I see that she plagiarized moochie ...I think she was set up

[euram]

It’s interesting how those making a big deal out of this are also the same ones who think deleting 30,000+ emails, and continuously lying about it is a non-issue.

[Afterguard]

I hope the use of “Malaria” for Melania is an autocorrect error! If not I’m ashamed for you because she’s not running for office. Gotta admit though that it made me laugh out loud when I read it! Funniest thing so far today.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Just waking up to this piece of news. Without facts or details, my first thought is ‘ who loaded the teleprompter?’

It’s been that type of election season.

[Byron_the_Aussie]

.. If I stare into those eyes too long I'll quit smoking, lose weight ..

All okay! I'm on standby with some Maureen Dowd pics if you overshoot on self deprivation.

[faucetman]

They stole Michelle Obama’s words from throughout her speech...... “the”, “is”, “and”, “my”, there are so many I just can’t list them all! /s

[trebb]

So they are admitting that she or her speechwriters used Michelle Obama’s speech as inspiration?

Love the contrasts between the two and how each said the words of the similar parts.
