Social media explodes with more Trump plagiarism allegations
The Los Angeles Times ^ | 7/19/2016 | Javier Panzar

Another day, another speech by a member of the Trump family — and another round of plagiarism charges coursing through social media.

The Daily Show's Twitter account seemed to pounce first when it pointed out lines from Donald Trump Jr.'s speech that seemed to be identical to words first used in a May article by F.H. Buckley in The American Conservative called "Trump vs. the New Class."

After all the anarchy, chaos, and destruction this administration labored to cause, and the media is focused on plagiarism?

Trump should plagiarize Slow Joe—see what happens next. ;)

claim it to be "self-plagiarism," which is ridiculous for anyone in politics.

Ridiculous by the virtue that you cannot plagiarize yourself, regardless of the venue. A speech is not a paper being submitted for review, where you would have to give acknowledgement to the original author of the statement being referenced.

It’s deflection since they can’t counter the speeches

You broke the code.

And more proof the media carries the Democrats water.

Much of what Michelle Obama said could be said by anyone at anytime, and because it’s meaning is so generic, it was nothing profound or special. I think Melania’s speech serves to highlight that mediocrity. She looked a lot better than Michelle Obama saying the same things and that makes Melania and her speech anything but mediocre.

Just wait until the demonRat convention. Does anyone think those idiots won’t copy—probably word-for-word—Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Fidel Castro and the other communists? And each other, ad nauseum?

So we should return the favor on social media.

And... We don’t have to prove it. It’s the seriousness of the charge, not the facts, to the Millennials, on their ten seconds of attention when posting.

In response, Buckley took to Twitter to defend the younger Donald Trump, saying the speech “wasn’t stealing.” He later told Business Insider he was, in fact, a writer for the convention speech.

Some schools have a policy that you can’t reuse and submit the same paper to multiple classes.

I especially love this mini-wall a performance artist built around DJT's star on the walk-of-fame

I like it too, but it is missing a fancy decorated door that is supposed to be part of the final edition.

Trump’s speech ought to plagiarize from select book titles

like George Orwell’s 1984. ;-)

The Democrat Media has only 2 messages: Lies & Plagiarism.

No, the media is focused on electing Hillary Clinton

They are focusing on using BS plagiarism stories to deflect from all of the chaos, anarchy , lawlessness and destruction caused by Clinton and Obama
