had lifted a few paragraphs from a Laura Bush speech; but, the fact that she chose Michele Obama's words almost exactly was startling, especially given the attitude towards her as evidenced by the comments below.;

I understand Trump is livid - about this speech stuff

If so, he should definitely fire someone in his campaign.

There should be someone on staff who is paid to write speeches (or in the case of The Donald at least give him some bullet points since he never really gives proper speeches just stream of consciousness braggadocio), also to check things before they go live.

Even if the staff members are your children (which seems to be almost the entire campaign personnel plus the endorsers and that Paul Manafort), what happened?

It took the watching media (even Fox) just a few minutes to figure out, hey, that sounds familiar, and no time at all to check it out. Even with just Google they could find it. Honestly, Trump kids, you could have done that.

Some of these sentiments can be similar, even their backgrounds, as far as growing up with good parents and morality, etc., can be similar. However, even if it were not intentional plagiarism, SOMEONE should have told her to change the words around to some extent to avoid plagiarizing, intentional or not. There is like an entire paragraph which is verbatim identical to Michelle Obama's.

And his son D. Trump Jr. did some "borrowing" - in HIS speech tonight, too.

LOL - plagiarism seems to be a family trait.

Poor MelaniaFeb 02, 2017
I have trouble being too sympathetic towards the First Lady - surely she knew what Mr. Trump was like when she agreed to marry him, and I've heard plenty of people call her a gold digger, which is hard to refute. And yet, this clip of her expression changing after Mr. Trump looks away still strikes me as a very sad thing. Yeah, she made her bed, but still, I'm sorry to see she's so unhappy in it. ...

Melania Not Moving To The Nov 20, 2016
What a great 1st lady she will be.  Many 1st ladies have had children and supported their country.  She obviously wants no part of what it involves.  Part-time president, part-time 1st lady, and a cabinet of a gang of thieves.  Can't change stupid I guess. ...

Melania's Jacket Was RidiculousMay 27, 2017
The most memorable moment from the trip in Israel of president Trump and the First Lady was probably that moment at the entrance to the house of President Rivlin. "Nechama Rivlin, President Rivlin’s wife, welcomed the First Lady Melania Trump at the door. As they were about to walk inside, Nechama whispered to Melania that she will do her best to catch up with the walking pace, but she might be a bit slower because of her medical condition which requires her to use an oxygen tank.

Melania Trump Seemed Like A Rebellious First Lady.Apr 15, 2017
Melania Trump’s first act as first lady suggested she might play the rebel. When she announced that she would not move to the White House right away — and instead remained in her New York penthouse with her young son while her husband began rolling out controversial executive orders in Washington — she flouted the most basic of all first lady traditions. Now, after weeks of shirking the spotlight, Trump has begun to emerge from her cocoon, taking tentative steps to establish herself ...
