Well, I saw it in the statement. “included fragments that reflected her own thinking.”
In English, that means “copied stuff she agreed with”.
And yeah, I’ve been here fifteen years and supporting Trump so I could troll this single press statement. You found me out, Sherlock. Sheesh.
It’s going to be a long, tough campaign if we expect Trump, the Trump family and all his campaign staff and supporters to be completely original and error free.
Might be a speechwriter’s mistake. Might be intentional to generate controversy or to set a trap, Team Trump has done it before. Maybe the Mooch got it from somewhere else and they know it.
If the small passage was different enough from the Mooch speech to be beyond reasonable comparison, Trump’s side would just deny it, but they are going with the speechwriters “included fragments” angle. I’d call that a tacit admission that the lines are very similar.
Doesn’t change the fact that the future First Lady gave a terrific speech, or that the night was a refreshing, effective blow against Crooked Hillary.
I support Trump, but I don’t expect his campaign to be perfect all the time. At this point, it looks like a PR error, but Trump has survived and taken advantage of worse looking situations.
Perhaps you should heed the wisdom of Sergeant Hulka.
I remember JFK's famous line as well as MLK’s being lifted [accusations] in part from something else, yet they are canonized today. Are the detractors going after solely the fact that a part of her feelings and ideas (evidently shared by Michelle Obama in her statements)or is it they don't agree with them? Is it because there was nothing else to blame on her and pick at? In my opinion, yes.
That's the best carping they can do at this point, because they certainly point out things like a semitrailer ass, horrible fashion (Mau Mau or Chairman Mao, take your pick) or thick cankles that would make a Clydesdale jealous.
You know what I’m getting from all this? Mrs. Trump gave one hell hell of a speech and scared Team Hillary to its black core. Now it’s destroy Melania at all costs. Same MO as Hillary has used since limbo eruptions and before.
I don’t know if anything was plagiarized or not but I doubt it. And in two weeks I think this will be forgotten as it should be.
The real crime here that ALL of us need to focus on is Bengazi. the lies Hillary told to Smith’s mother, that poor woman’s unending grief and Chris Mathews along with the rest of the media’s treatment of her. Melania has been set up as a distraction to this crime!
