Melania Trump gave a great speech before the Republican National Convention, but it turns out that part of what she said was word-for-word the sane as what Michelle Obama said to the Democrats in 2008

There were two highlights Monday at the Republican National Convention. In the afternoon a raucous Colorado delegation walked out in protest to Trump’s pending nomination for president. Hmmm, isn’t Colorado one of the states that has legalized recreational marijuana?
In the evening, Melania Trump gave a great speech.
There was only one little problem with Melania’ speech. It didn’t take more than a New York minute for some guy with a laptop in Los Angeles to recall he heard those words before and to discover that part of the speech was plagiarized. It was word-for-word the same as what Michelle Obama told the Democratic National Convention in 2008. And once that went out over the internet, it was history.
From Melania Trump’s speech:
From a young age, my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life, that your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise, that you treat people with respect. They taught and showed me values and morals in their daily life.
That is a lesson I continue to pass along to our son, and we need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow. Because we want our children in this nation to know is the only limits to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.
From Michelle Obama’s 2008 speech:
And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say you’re going to do; that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don’t know them, and even if you don’t agree with them.
And Barack and I set out to build lives guided by these values, and pass them on to the next generation. Because we want our children — and all children in this nation — to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.
Earlier that day, Melania had told NBC’s Matt Lauer, “I wrote it…with as little help as possible.” Wow, that little help really fucked up poor Melania!
It is quite common for high ranking politicians like the President, Cabinet members, Senators and presidential candidates to have speech writers on their staff. In some cases the speech is completely written by the speech writers. In most cases though, the politician will write out a speech, or what he thinks are the highlights, and turn it over to his speech writers for them to refine. In some cases they will tweak the speeches, in others they will completely rewrite them.
As for Trimp’s speech writers, what were they thinking when they fucked up Melamia’s moment in the spotlight by using Michelle Obama’s words? They had to know that sooner or later, in this case sooner, someone would discover the plagiarism. And of all the people out there, they copied Michelle Obama’s words. It’s almost as if they set out to sabotage the Trump campaign.
Trump’s speech writers ought to be fired, … no, they ought to be shot!
