First Daughter Ivanka Trump was in Hyderabad, India this week touting female entrepreneurship. Too bad she wasted the opportunity by plagiarizing much of her remarks from one of her previous speeches, Newsweek declared Wednesday in its piece, "Ivanka Trump Plagiarizes One of Her Own Speeches in India."
The Newsweek editors regretted that "the breadth of her talking points were recycled from a previous speech she gave during a foreign trip earlier this month." That other "foreign trip" appears to be the one she made to Tokyo, Japan.
They pulled some specific excerpts to prove they had caught Ivanka red handed.
"When women work, it creates a unique multiplier effect," Trump said in Hyderabad, citing the same exact line from her Tokyo speech. Her words continued to mirror the speech she gave just a few weeks ago: "Women are more likely than men to hire other women, and to give them access to capital, mentorship and networks. Women are also more likely to reinvest their income back in their families and communities."
Politicians and other public figures are apt to recycle their favorite phrases, as Newsweek notes. But, the editors also suggest that Ivanka is repeating herself to promote a new World Bank initiative, which some lawmakers say is unethical.
Media pundits were quick to point out that you can't plagiarize your own words. CNN's Jake Tapper was more than happy to share the dictionary definition for Newsweek for future reference.
If it’s your own work, it isn’t plagiarism. By definition. https://t.co/C6FZtglbex https://t.co/9yWSf4CTw5— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) November 30, 2017

Since the backlash, Newsweek changed its headline and issued a correction explaining that Ivanka had "reused," not plagiarized, an earlier speech.
“Since the backlash, Newsweek changed its headline and issued a correction explaining that Ivanka had “reused,” not plagiarized, an earlier speech.”
So a common elemental definition of plagiarism is not understood? I didn’t know they hired monkeys on the editorial staff.
“...the editors also suggest that Ivanka is repeating herself to promote a new World Bank initiative, which some lawmakers say is unethical.”
SOME??
Like, how many out of how many? ONE?
Is that a party-line opinion, or just Crazy Bernie?
Earth to News Weeks: you can not plagiarize yourself. Idiots.
This is priceless. The comments following the article are brutal. Chris Riotta needs to find a new career. The last Newsweak editor left the building and forgot to turn off the lights.
I did far, far worse! I took a sharpened razor to my own throat this morning. And then I kidnapped myself, and held myself hostage for several hours. Then I let myself go on the understanding that I would kidnap myself again tomorrow.
Idiots.
According to the media, Ivanka is OUTRAGED that Ivanka plagiarized her words. Ivanka is demanding and apology from Ivanka.
That ain't nothin'.
One time I went to a Bob Marley concert, and that rat bastard played the same songs that were on his albums.
The balls on that guy!!!
Who cares that a bankrupt left wing fake news rag sold for a $ 1 says .
Yep. Guilty. Tsk tsk
She repeated a speech? Wut? Good grief! Never thought fake news could get worse...yet it has.
Anyone who has done public speaking knows that you refine a speech to get what you want, then you use it again and again to make the points that you want.
The only time this would be a problem would be if you were giving the same speech to the same audience over and over...
Newsweak is making no sense, but that seems to be their business model...
They are getting mentally ill, these people. I can’t believe how low they are sinking. What next?
Don’t know. I hope the keep it up. When your enemy is making mistakes, don’t stop him.
You can’t plagerize your own work
Yo! Repitizm ain’t plagiarism, dog!
Remember that one time Joe “Hands” Biden said, “Bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive”?
Ohhh... the Humanity!!
Call Sheriff Clark and have her arrested /s
They tried to pull the same stunt on Ivanka which they successfully used on Sheriff Clarke.
I’m still upset about that. Apparently he used citations in his thesis (references marked by reference number next to the quote) but he did not add quotation marks. How is that plagiarism?? After his Alma Mater threatened to cancel his master’s degree he pulled out from consideration from a Trump Administration job. Basically he was blackmailed.
