You are confusing the issue.
This is not about who owns the copyright to the words. It is not about an actionable cause based on plagiarism.
It is about an intentional use of Michelle’s speech AND WHY it was done.
Why can NO ONE point me to anyone else who has used this EXACT phrase in this EXACT way except Melania and Michelle
““”that you work hard for what you want in life, that your word is your bond and you do what you say “”
Could this be a case of “the smeller’s the fellar?”
How did someone discover this so quickly? I can barely remember last night speeches, let alone a speech from 2008.
Anyone in the English speaking world could have used these same exact words in the same exact phrase or sentence.
This is not plagiarism but repeatable cliches and truisms spoken by many over much time.
Perhaps Melania had help with her speech from a sloppy lazy speechwriter.
I doubt she would research and then copy anything in another person's speech. Melania is way to intelligent.
Only a dishonest press determined to destroy the Trumps would cheap-shot like this.
