The headlines are ablaze today with harsh accusations that Donald Trump’s wife, Melania, plagiarized a passage from First Lady Michelle Obama’s 2008 Democratic National Convention speech.
It’s enough to give the gossip columnists and late night chuckle-heads a field day, for sure.
And although the apparently lifted passage was of very little consequence, the video evidence is hard to deny.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NI1UNNCuAY
But while the mainstream media and political talking heads are gloating over the misstep, there’s another issue that deserves serious attention.
Her speech writer (or speech writers) were either incompetent — or intentionally sabotaged her.
It’s no secret that journalists, like a pack of hungry wolves, look for lifted passages in convention speeches. In fact, Michelle Obama herself was criticized after her 2008 speech for allegedly plagiarizing a passage from Chapter 2 Saul Alinsky’s book, “Rules for Radicals.” (And, for the record, President Barack Obama has been accused of plagiarism, too.)
It’s an incident that any seasoned political speech writer would remember. And the idea that a speech writer would subsequently lift language for Melania Trump’s speech (especially from a speech given by Michelle Obama) is almost shocking in its audacity.
And, unfortunately, the shenanigans don’t stop there.
During one part of her speech, Mrs. Trump seems to have unintentionally “Rickrolled” the audience — a popular Internet prank that involves surprising an unsuspecting audience with lyrics from the 1980’s pop-song “Never Gonna Give You Up”.
It’s something young Americans are very familiar with — but something a Slovenian-born, non-native English speaker is probably unaware of. And you can be certain it wasn’t her idea.
The speech included an almost verbatim quote from a verse of the song, likely no coincidence.

Mrs. Trump is not a politician, she is a jewelry and watch designer. English is not her first language, Slovene is. And she has never spoken in front of an audience this large.
So, like most of us would, she relied — at least partially — on the help of professional speech writers.
Either intentionally — or with extreme recklessness and incompetence — those writers let her down.
Embarrassing?
Of course.
But news that is worthy of the front page of every mainstream media outlet?
Hardly.
There are much, much bigger stories than a non-English speaker being tricked into unknowing public humiliation. Media outlets busy gloating today are acting less like adults, and more like mean girls at a Middle School dance.
Grow up. There are far more important things to talk about.
Below is Mrs. Melania Trump’s full speech. Take a look, then let us know your thoughts — Is it possible Melania Trump was set up? Or is she guilty of plagiarism?
Comment with your opinion below.

Does Melania have more assistants than the Queen of England like Michelle has? Despite being wealthy and reaching the height of power, does Melania think that she is oppressed like Michelle? Does Melania spend millions of tax dollars on vacations like Michelle? If not, then she isn’t plagiarizing Michelle.
Since Melania is not in the House yet, she does not compare to Michelle. But, she ain’t the first lady yet. If she is in 2017, then she will play the part and spend like crazy …………………….
Trump’s money, not the taxpayers.
Amen!
Agree!
Exactly, she doesn’t need to spend tax payers money, she has her own. She is a class act!!! You go Melania, I thought you were great and will be a great improvement in the White House!! She sure does not need to copy anyone else’s speech. Grow up NBC, what, you couldn’t find any real dirt? Look at the apposing candidate, there is plenty there!!
How many times a day do we all repeat words said by someone else? And what difference does it make? It is all a bunch of hype over nothing.
Was Michelle’s speech copywrited? If not, what is the issue here?
I so agree with all statements here she is a beautiful smart lady and will make a great First Lady.. no doubt about that.. Totally class……. we have not had youthful and class in a long time. and Donald will be the greatest President since Reagan.. loved him as I do the Donald…
I agree completely. Ms. Obama is no angel. Whether a few lines were taken from coincidentally Ms. Obama’s or not, the media was looking for something to smear the positive aspects of this convention. If it had not been Ms.; O’s speech, they would have not probably lambasted her. In reality, two or three statements did not take away form the heartwarming speech and certainly defined a dignified, beautiful, and adoring wife who will make a beautiful Presidential wife Bravo
Agreed! She did a fantastic job! The Liberal Media can’t stand what an impact she will have on the election! She is a GREAT asset to Donald Trump! Hope SHE will be our next First Lady!
I look at it this way Maybe to a lot of people on the line it will help them make a decision.Me if I wasn’t sure it would be very clear to me.
I really enjoyed her. : )
The Liberal Democrats are certainly ‘GRASPING AT STRATS” TO ” try’ to make fun of the wonderful, classy, heartfelt comments coming from a VERY “Classy”, Intelligent, Compassionate, Caring and supportive wife, mother and family member of the TRUMP family. Melania’s speech was from the HEART. If it did include a very few words from Steven Covey’s book (NOT Michele O’s speech) then that is so understood and acknowledged. The LIBERAL Democrats are “grasping at straws” in a desperate try to undermine the very INSPIRING Speech given by our next “First Lady” for sure. Melania Trump!!!!!!!
I agree Marilyn.
She has lots of money and doesn’t needs to spend the Tax Payers money but if she can get it for free and let the Tax Payers pay and save her money she will. She isn’t that noble. The more money you have the cheaper you get.
She was set up….anything is possible with hillary on the opposite side. I would closely look at the writer….
I STRONGLY AGREE … Michelle couldn’t shine Melania’s shoes.
Melania is a true lady. And I repeat … IS THIS THE BEST YOU HAVE?
Amen!
That is right. Donald said he didn’t want a paycheck. He will just put it in to help pay off the debt, that Obama has skyrocketed. He will pay for his own vacations. He really is in it to see if his business sense he will have the right person for the right position. He is a smart man.
I think she did a great job, in spite of having English as a second language and perhaps relying on speechwriters. If there was something worthy of Michelle Obama’s to be copied, that alone is a surprise. Isn’t it nice to have a candidate AND HIS WIFE both able to carry their own weight – without stealing from the taxpayers.
The world is lost. Our childrens future is screwed!! The media is the dm is wicked!!! Our only hope is Trump!!!!
Right on. How do you think she looks so good now. Certainly not on Government payouts or the dole. There is just no comparison to class vs. crass Miki white house trash.
To Mary Says. You are absolutely right except your figure of costing taxpayers millions of dollars for the Obamas lavish vacations is too low. It’s closer to 500 billion dollars when you figure the fuel alone for Air Force One is $80 thousand an hour plus the cost of Air force Two, Secret Service, Additional planes to fly the “Beast” and all the other cars necessary for Presidential protection. Then there is the lodging and food for everyone involved. Plus Michelle’s personal attendants nd don’t forget Bo (their dog and his handler)has his own jet. The list goes on but you get the idea.
On Obama’s recent “business” trip to Poland lasting 3 days he took 500 people with him. Talk about wasteful spending.
I disagree…she already has money.
she has enough money to go on vacation anywhere she wants unlike mechelle Obama.so lets dispense with all the false statements and the childish speech wrighters. because that is 1 reason the world is in the shape it is. so comeon news casters and start reporting some REAL news for a change, and make true statements for a change. dispense with false news.
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT. WAKE UP. SMELL THE ROSES & LET THE LADY MOVE IN TO THE WHITE HOUSE SLOWLY. SHE’LL BE FINE. SHE HAS HER OWN MONEY & DOES’
NT WASTE IT THE SO CALL 1ST LADY. SHE’LL BE BETTER MICHELLE 10 TIMES OVER.
MICHELLE IS JUST A FAKE, USER, AND A BIG JOKE.
She doesn’t need our money, she is married to a billionaire, and besides, Obama is the biggest spender we have ever had. Their vacations cost us millions of dollars, and the damn golf trips to any where in the world are a total waste. Stop trying to drum up crap here, look at it for what it is. Michelle is a money monger, and loves being in the white house to spend and spend and spend, and Melania doesn’t even need to think about it. Id like to know how much Michelle has spent of our tax taxpayers money since she jumped in here. Think we would all be surprised.
Mary:
Not only is her husband wealthy, but she is very successful and wealthy in her own rite.
maybe learn to spell?
Obamas have money to go wherever they want to vacation, where are you getting your information? Have you Sen. Their tax returns you sound like they are on food stamps if they were not in the White House.
Marj if the Obamas have so much money of their own why do they keep ABUSING the US taxpayers money. NEVER has the white house occupants spent more lavishly and recklessly on themselves NEVER!
Melania gave a heartwarming speech that was basically relating to her family and the Trump family as a whole. Also, she touched on the hopes and dreams for our America and that her, Donald Trump was a compassionate person who was oh so Patriotic. How does this compare to Michelle Obamas speech? The media is out to condemn Trump from the very beginning and they will continue too. The only part of Melania speech and Mrs. Obama’s was the part of her Parents working and being examples to their children. However, her parents are from another country and Melania emphasized the fact that this is WhY she loves America and is wanting America to be that country that stands for Freedom and Liberty, for they did not embrace that in a Communist country. All speeches by Wives of a candidate may touch on similarities, but I do not see that Melania’s speech was a copy of Mrs. Obama’s speech. Did Mrs. Obama’s speech touch on the fact of the hardships of Communism….oh no, because they are Communists. It is just so mind blowing that our Media does not want our country to be a country that is under our Constitution and does not want our country free from terrorism…..they would rather have a dictatorship….for they are under a dictatorship and this is why True American patriotism is being attacked. We cannot allow them to win…..We must speak out and speak the Truths….Truths lead to Freedom….Freedom leads to Truth. In God We Trust, God Bless and Protect our America.
I’m sorry, Ms. Trump, but I didn’t listen to any of the speech. I know that this was your chance to introduce yourself to the public that hasn’t seen you. But I was busy elsewhere and missed the speech. But more importantly I’ll be paying attention to your husband’s actions as President. These actions will be much more important than any speech-by either of you.
Interesting that I just read an article about this.. Come to find out, Michelle WAS the one to do this..Michelle Obama took words & whole thoughts from Donald Trump’s book.. NOW they talk about Melania.. SEE THIS LINK:
http://myfreshnews.com/dont-believe-media-michelle-obama-stole-speech-not-melania-trump
Go ahead, let the liberal Marxist HATE flow.
She does what her boss tells her to do!! Trump is always making big mistakes but doesn’t always pay for it. Now he got caught enabling his wife to steal Michelle Obama’s speech.
BIG DEAL………she’s lovelier, more honest, more intelligent that Michael oblamo ever was………GET OVER IT……..
your sooooooooooooooo right Donna.
You’re dumb as a rock she’s not intelligent she should have checked for plagiarism that’s what’s done after writing a paper asshole melania can’t HOLD Michelle’s shoes less lone walk in them
Good comment! Love it!
I agree with Donna …..Big deal…..Doesn’t the media have more substance in their lives?
Ignore it completely…….I pray daily for a hedge of protection around the Families of Mr. Trump and Gov. Pence. They are going to need it with the cancerous media God help us!!!!
Maybe she could help you write an English sentence. Much ado about nothing. I doubt it was her idea. Someone set her up intentionally or not.
If I had been making a speech for my husband to become the president of the USA, I would have used some of the same words because those words are very true and they do not just belong to Michelle Obama. The speech was awesome and looked a lot better on Melania than it did on Michelle. Way to go Melania. You could tell Melania was speaking with great compassion. She loves America.
She speaks 5 languages so must be somewhat smart. She had a speech writer, as the Obamas also always do, and seems like Melania’s writer did a poor job by too closely using the 3 or so sentences from Michelle’s speech (maybe should fire the writer)… that is a couple-few sentences out of a pretty long and well done speech. Both Obamas were also pinned down in the past for directly plagiarizing from other sources (books etc). The media need to stop acting like nasty schoolgirls and just recognize she did very well in delivering her first speech to thousands.
And we ALL know NOW that (1) Moochy Obama was lying through her rather ROTUND arse, and (2) Malania Trump does NOT have a hatred for America as Ms. Oblowhole does.
All I can offer is: Get over it lame street media!!!!
I agree! Get over it and get on with what is really important like save America because you know who is making us broke and causing unrest.
I disagree with you. Michelle is better looking than that gold digger from a communist country any day. She stole her words from a speech by Michelle and now you are trying to justify the theft. You like people who steal huh?.
Really? You’re just like the OP there sheep out there believing that LIBERAL MEDIA bullshit…
valarie above you need to look back at michelle’s speech and see who she copied plus obama copied other president’s also you need to get a life and learn a few thing’s?
So tell me, Sally….. What have the Dems done for the Jews lately…….Hmmmm???
Speach? Hardly. Listen to her whole speech, Mrs. Oboma could never love this country as Mrs. Trump nor could she have such dignity and style as Mrs. Trump.
aileen you are so on, if it will show how they both even stood while they gave the speech michelle is slumped over and don’t even know how to stand up straight and at least act like she is proud of this country and melania she stood tall and you can really tell or anybody that really love’s this country can tell how proud she is to be a citizen in this country and by the way she done it getting the citizenship the right and legal way I can assure you of that and she is so much better to look at on the eye’s than michelle and the best thing of it all was you could see melania you don’t have that shadow effect if you dumb people get what I am saying?
Who in their right mind would steal anything from that woman that’s in the White House now? Mrs. Trump is a CLASS ACT. She doesn’t have to copy anything from that person. And that person couldn’t hold a candle to Mrs. Trump. No family in the White House has spent as much money as those people that are in there right now. The Trump’s are not the problem…they are the solution.
So true . …..
Was just wondering what or how did Obama the Nobel Peace Prize for..
? ? ? ?
Right on. Mrs. Trump’s pride in her husband and her new country (which, by the way she earned her citizenship the legal way!)came shining through in her speech. a lot of petty nit-picking over nothing important.
Words on paper or projected on a monitor are not the issue here! The issue is in the selfish minds of those who had rather pass judgement in a negative way rather than give credit where it is due! My opinion is that Melania Trump did an outstanding job in delivery of HER speech and I saw the image of a “great First Lady”, one who is appreciative and thankful of all the support given; not one who is waiting to “spend money”, as some suggested! Did you NOT notice that her husband did spend his own money for expenses up to NOW!
Sally – just like most liberal with your head up your “A _ _” – at least she’s proud to be an American unlike Michelle Ma Bell.
I agree with Donna
No one in their right mind would ever want to take something from that Cow mooshele. Give me a break
He does not “pay” for his mistakes??? You obviously only know how gov works not business. Business people/leaders know that mistakes will hurt their business. Do they make them – of course, but unlike gov workers they see consequences. Hil takes “full responsibility” for Benghazi unless someone is expecting there to be consequences. Allowing state dept top secrets out to anyone willing to look – no problem, she just wiped it clean with no consequences. Same with IRS, Fast and Furious, VA, NEVER consequences when you are spending other people’s money.
she take’s responsibility for Benghazi? I have not heard her say she has been responsible for anything except lying? ask the kin folk’s of those that were killed in the embasy that day and see what they have to say about Hillary if you want to hear a mouthful and their the one’s people should be listening to who know’s what really happened and how in other word’s ask them what they think of Hillary the real star of lair lair the movie with jim carey nobody can tell them better than Hillary but the man who taught her how to lie billy boy himself or do you even remember him lying to all the nation on national t.v. where I quote (I didn’t have sexual relations with that woman miss Lewinsky) how easy it is for some of us American’s to forget and forgive but I am not one of them he when he lied on national t.v. to the people should of been impeached and deep down anyone with any morale’s at all know I am telling the truth.
Sally and Valerie…….I was always taught to not mar a day with unkind words. You may have to eat those words some day. WORDS hurt. I am sorry for what must be in your heart to criticize another person in such a cruel way. We need to look at ourselves and see if we are flawless. Try it. God help us!
I guess none is allowed to say Obama Care, White house, or our children need a better safe tomorrow ! The DUMMIECRAPS think that if they say the word they own it! So then why don’t they own the MESS they put our country in ? They like to enable freeloaders and thugs then refuse to take responsibility for their own DNC actions !
I highly doubt Melania needed any words of Micheles old speech from years ago old hat old stuff
Sally (Kohn) and Valerie (Jarrett) use words that show how depraved and ugly their souls are and that is probably reflective of their ugly faces. They are jealous of an extraordinarily beautiful and intelligent woman. Melania Trump made more for a single photo shoot before her marriage than either of these two will make in their lifetime, she owns two businesses on her own, she speaks five (5) languages (and you’ll notice that neither of these two could put together a cohesive thought), and has a wonderful supportive family and a loving group of admirers.
Their problem is simple – these reptiles slithered from under their rocks to express to the world their extreme jealousy – nothing more.
Bull shit: I dooubt very seriously that Melanie Trump would stoop to do plagiarism and particularly from someone as despised as Michelle Obama.
Not our money however!! It would be Trump money !!!
And you know for absolute she would never…ever…plagiarize
Anybody least of all Michelle Obama !
Smells like a lazy or not so competent speech writer and maybe even a set up!
That wouldn’t surprise me at all !!
:exactly…….
You are dumb asf for saying some shit like that, she obviously got set up…Hillary has lied to the American ppl plenty of times and even cost innocent Americans their lives, and none of u daym liberals can even admit it, y’all acting like trump is a criminal then voting for Hillary???i feel sry for u liberals sometime smh
Oh please get over yourself, what first lady doesn’t talk about her husband, and taking care of the children of this nation. Freedom of speech is freedom of speech, I’m sure she DIDN”T check out and glad she didn’t check out Michelle’s speech before she presented her own. Just saying….stop the nit picking…..
Sally Cohen:
LOLOLOLOLOLOL! YOU ALL ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL WHEN YOU HAVE TO RESORT TO ACCUSATIONS OF PLAGIARISM FOR A DARN SPEECH, ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE HEARD THE SAME PHRASE MOST OF MY LIFE. CAN THE OBAMAS SHOW US A PATIENT THAT THEY HOLD FOR THE PHRASE?…….. WELL, I HAD BETTER NOT GO THERE; AFTER ALL THEY DID SHOW A BIRTH CERTIFICATE 18 MONTHS AFTER IT WAS ASKED FOR, LOLOLOL. YOU LIBERALS ARE AMAZING! …….. LOL….. BTW, Melania is extremely well educated, speaking seven different languages and running a very successful business even before meeting Trump. Also, she did it honestly, we have yet to see a transcript from Obamas failure in college! and we don’t know a thing about Michelle…… I surmise she (or he) just follows her leader from BEHIND.
lmao
You are so full of crappie, Trump doesn’t need to use his wife in this way.
I found her to be a delight to listen to, I recorded it and then watched it completely. If she used words are the credentials In office wife did it was not her doing or Donald’s it was the results of the one who helped her write it.
Get real she was awrsome!
She has been married for 18 years to the same man and still loves him can you say that?
We are truly blessed to be given the opportunity to turn our great nation around, to have class in place of division, she did a beautiful job, we need to wake our last twso generations up who have fallen into this class, and division propaganda and race as well in all my years have never ever seen the race card played as the democrats and CNN (Clintons news network) and all the other liberal news outlets, so sick of it, go Mr Trump and make us proud once again, God Bless the USA
Nah. I think it is obvious that she was set up. Either the vindictive Bushes or Clintons or both conspired to do this. You know that the Bushes and Clintons are very friendly—AND the Bushes are extremely unhappy with Trump for humiliating Jeb Bush. Do you really think this is an accident when we know that the speech writers she had assisting her were George W. Bush speech writers? Think about it. You will have an “ah ha” moment!
Moron!
You are sick! I just read that Michelle did the same kind of copying but no one is talking about it! But overall who cares. This woman got up in front of millions of people and delivered her message about her family and America’s needs in a compassionate and controlled speech. We should congratulate her and end this nonsense when there are huge problems, mountains of damage that Obama and Hillary are leaving behind! The country is lucky that Trump jumped in to help reverse 8 years of almost irreparable damage. He is a billionaire and has everything he needs and yet he is giving this lifestyle up for his country with all of the problems that will surely take away a lot of years from him. He is 70, this is his time to enjoy the fruits of his labor, his family, especially his grandchildren, Put away your misplaced hate and help him in his journey to Saving and Making America Great Again! How can anyone that has any smarts, regardless if he/she is Republican or Democrat not see the Clinton’s for what they are, liars and outright crooks. Everything they have done is to enrich themselves at every turn!
Trump has already said, he WILL NOT be taking the Presidential salary or monetary benefits, which means – No! They will NOT be taking the lavish vacations that the current POTUS and family has been on the taxpayers’ dime, for the past 7.5 years.
(The interest alone that Trump receives on his investments exceeds the $450,000.00 annual salary the POTUS receives!
Rational thinking doesn’t exist in the “liberals” world – it’s giveaways for the “liberal” politician and take without working for the “liberal” voter – reason and logic is not in their vocabulary. .
Maybe she will but it won’t be the taxpayers money like the Obama’s spent on clothes or vacations, even taking two planes and relatives. This is the difference between between the Trumps and the Obama’s because the Trumps are already wealthy enough to pay their way where the Obama’s were not and went wild which also says something about their character. After all, it was not their own money and frankly, I believe they could care less what we thought about their overspending.
Valerie – another liberal “dips _ _ t heard from.
I started a conversation a reply and lost it what I wanted to say is comparing mrs. Trump to Michelle is a crime Milena is poised, classy, passionate love the USA, Has her ownl money and own businesses, speaks five languages. Wwhat language did you want her to give her speech in last night? If she would have chosen one of the other languages, you wouldn’t have seen whether she had a sentence or 2 compared to Michelle. .Mrs T rumps loves the USA. Michelle and Obama didn’t even admit to being proud of the USA until about the 3rd or the 4th year and then it was kind of snotty. they’re getting paid for all their entertaining on TV now. They are supposed to be in the White House doing presidential jobs, not be out entertaining the world and taking our money to do it. There’s just no comparison so get a life.

jwb, what an a you are for trying to say the Trumps will be just like O. Time will tell what they will be like but we ALL know that the Trumps, especially Melania, are very proud of the US without fundamentally changing it. Coming from a communist country she understands the important of limited gov and the ability of each person to determine their own path and future. Just as a crazed sport fan, you can spout your rhetoric all you want. the proof will be proven in the future and your comments make no difference in the outcome. I guess it makes you feel better to try and name call the opponents since you can not attack them with facts.
I would rather have the first family “spend money like crazy”, our money, than sell out the country to the highest bidder like Hil did with her donations while SOS, or huge speaking fees for she and Bill. And let’s not forget that she STOLE from the WH when she and Bill moved out and even had to return some of the items they stole. That really shows what kind of person Hil is.
I don’t know why they want to draw attention to lying Michelle. “His word is his bond” that fits Trump. It’s laughable when Michelle says it, we know for a fact that is not true. You sure dont hear any stories of Obama helping anyone! I can’t imagine Obama even dropping a buck in the Salvation Army pot.
It will be so refreshing to have this classy women in the White House that America needs! What once was our White House is now O BOWELS Out House!
Crooked Hillary will bankrupt America once she became POTUS like the Obama’s!
Mr. Trump will be the first president that will be downsizing by moving into the White House! LOL her words were not necessary because her physical beauty says it all! I can just imagine the jealousy of caddy woman talk!!
She don’t need to spend like crazy!!!
Nobody has spent more then the buckwheat.
i dare say at least they would probly spend their OWN money, just as campaign was. probably wont even use air force 1. i know i wouldnt…. for my own safety!! not take total advantage of taxpayers to go on lavish worldly vacas every time you turn around!!! im sure if she ever wants to go ANYWHERE in the world, chances are shes probly already done it. we probly bought the house in dubai,truth be told. back to subject at hand, it wouldnt surprise me one bit if their wasnt a turncoat in their camp. killary will do ANYTHING to get back to the top. AND REMAIN THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAKE UP PPL………………….
Melania is a very disciplined lady‼️ She actually is far less shopaholic then you would think. Once in the Whitehouse she will only do what she has to do not more. She could travel now, but she isn’t ! She could spend Donalds money now but she isn’t ‼️ Get to know her before you judge her, please‼️
Since Melania is not in the House yet, she does not compare to Michelle. But, she ain’t the first lady yet. If she is in 2017, then she will play the part and spend like crazy …………………….
Yes, but it will be her money, not ours.
ditto on that!!
jwb looks like you are plagairgizing . Your remarks appear twice and are the same to the last letter. lol
She will be a great First Lady.
She is being guided and Melania is doing the best she can for such a drastic change.
People need to stop comparing and give her credit for even attempting what she has
been asked to do. My gosh, she speaks five languages which is typical in Europe.
How many of you speak five languages ?
She will be a refreshing First Lady. Melania know’s how to be in such a position.
I am anxious to see both of them as President and First Lady.
This has to happen !
I agree. What an elegant first lady Melania will be. If someone set her up, shame on them. Nonetheless, she delivered her speech with great dignity, and I hope she and Donald make it to the White House.
I agree. Even if her speech sounded like Michelle’s she didn’t write it. So don’t blame her. No one would have paid any attention to that if it wasn’t for the media. She is a lovely lady and I myself would like to see her in the White House.
AMEN, AMEN, AMEN
<3
I believe it was about 3 sentences that closely resembled Michelle’s, out of a very long speech. In these sentences they both referenced having good parents, being raised with strong values, and taught to work hard. WHO OWNS this??? NO ONE OWNS THIS. This is about basic principles that anyone giving this type of speech would state, in one way or another, especially if you were fortunate enough to have this kind of upbringing. Muchado about nothing. Melania did a wonderful job.
MEDIA THAT WORD GETS MY BLOOD BOILING THEY MUST ALL RUN AROUND WITH THEIR NOSE STUCK IN THE CROOKED CLINTONS AND THE BUMMERS BEHINDS. THEY SHOULD ALL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR LIES . PRISION WITH THE
WITH THE FOUR DIRTEST AND LOWDOWN PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. FREEDOM OF THE PRESS DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN LIE AND SLANDER,SLANT WHAT YOU SAY AND WRITE. SURELY TUMP WILL PREVAIL
Patty: One thing is certain, she is not only beautiful but she has a grace about her that Michelle does not possess and Melania is also a very intelligent woman who will charm this nation and other countries very much like Jackie Kennedy. People I know in other countries that I keep in contact with do not have a favorable impression of Michelle like they did with Laura Bush who was a women with class and respectful manner about her.
I so agree. Melania displays the character and beauty….inside and out….of Jackie Kennedy, Nancy Reagan, Mrs. Bush Sr. and Laura Bush. Melania will never stoop to the disgrace of Michelle and President Obama. Why would someone like Melania need to? She speaks from her heart.
So what if it she somewhat sounded like M.O. maybe it should reflect her? The issues then are still the same with the exception is that there compounded now with the current admin, I didn’t know that previous speech’s had copyrights? I wondered about her writers and had they not reviewed past speech’s? Maybe not maybe so? Let us take a look down the rabbit holes.
🙂
jwb – no one is interested in your liberal nonsense.
Melania won’t compare to Michelle even after she is first lady. Melania is a patriot, while Michelle is, was, and always will be a slopping at the public trough. As far as spending, she doesn’t have to be in the White House to spend any amount of money she desires. Her wedding gown cost more than either of the Obamas made per year before they conned the citizens of the United States to twice elect a liberal socialist communist democrat to the Oval Office.
This note is for all of us who support Donald Trump!
Donald Trump announced his intention to run for the Republican nomination for President of the United States last June. Donald Trump and those of us who support him have been subjected to unwarranted attacks from the day he made the announcement, just as the establishment RINOs attacked and criticized Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1984. All the faux conservatives today are like what we called the “Rockefeller Republicans” back then. The man who ran Reagan’s campaign, Ed Rollins, and the man who configured Reagan’s financial policy, Art Laffer, are Trump supporters and advisers. In addition to those two, there are many more of Reagan’s team supporting Donald. In 1980 and 1984, Fred Trump Sr. and his son, Donald Trump were early on supporters of Reagan and in 1988 Donald Trump was the guest of George H.W. And Barbara Bush at the Republican National Convention and rumored to be the choice for Vice President. He announced in an interview with Larry King that he was not liked by the rich but was more comfortable with the workers – the truck drivers and construction workers – but he endorsed and supported George H.W.Bush and Dan Quayle, voted for George W. Bush even though he
opposed the war in Iraq, endorsed and supported McCain in 2008 and endorsed and supported Mitt Romney in 2012.We have remained true to our beliefs, and we have prevailed. It doesn’t matter than our candidate is the last man standing, and will win in November – the attacks continue.
Please ignore the ignorant rants of all those mental little people who post negative comments
about Donald Trump and his supporters – they are sore losers., especially the # never Trump group
who are neither Republican nor conservative, just RINOs. One of the major movers in the # never Trump
group, Ben Shapiro, wrote a lengthy column in Town Hall four (4) years ago stating that Donald Trump is the PERFECT REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE. Just recognize them for what they are – either a liberal socialist communist democrat or a lily livered, mealy mouthed, spineless, gutless, forked tongue, politically correct, double speak, do nothing, go along to get along, afraid of your shadow, girly man or manly woman, new castrati eunuch elite republican establishment phony. Unfortunately for them, they are infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome complicated by Trump Jealousy. Pity them because soon they will have to face facts and say “President Trump”. If they survive this trauma without being committed, hopefully they will slither back under their rocks or creep under their bridge. I replied to a couple of comments before I realized they are nothing more than paid DNC trolls and their only interest is to aggravate and provoke a response.
The only response necessary is —-
ROFLMAO.
iitywybad — Totally agree with you. Very well stated!
She will have a budget. At least there is no mother in law in the Whitehouse at our expense
No she is nothing like Michele
That is for sure, she stands a mile higher than Michelle. Michelle is a very bitter lady. and Melania is beautiful, gracious and thankful for her citizenship.
I agree with you Shirls, she’ nothing like MIichelle, she’s better.
Is she better Why? Does she have 2 Ivy League degrees ?. You Racist Commentor.
for Alliso below: If anyone criticizes a democrat, then, they are racist? This is total BS.
Maybe u r a racist against LEGAL US immigrants from Slovenia? and it goes on…
I agree! We need a First Lady that can look and be what a First Lady is supposed to be! Mrs. OB is a disgrace to the oval Office as is her husband! They hate this country and should move out of the country!!!
Michelle felt proud of this country when Obama was elected president melania was proud of this country the moment she entered this country(legally)
Has Obo and Michelle proved their citizenship yet????
Totally Agree , Melanie has Class , can’t say that for the other.
yeah michelle probably wears the same garb as her husband and in reality worships their god and you want to call them American’s I don’t think so, we all American’s know where all those sorry no goods in the white house right know where their loyalty lie’s or at least us that have a brain at all and are not as ignorant as a lot of people in this country I will be the first to agree on one thing he is for sure not the best choice but for what is running now he is for the American’s that want to feel safe and not feel like they have been thrown under the bus as one might say I refuse from now on to vote for a N—-R, or a woman which I have never done yet and never plan to. hope you people can read between the line’s
Thank God
Thank God.
Right on. She is lovely, soft spoken and loves America. Michelle told us that she was not proud of her country< and she was born here.
While I don’t like to put down either Melania, or Michelle, I do remember Michelle’s comments about not being proud of America and also Barack Obamas apologies for America on the international stage. While i don’t remember the context for Michelle’s comments, there is NO CONTEXT for any first lady to say that kind of thing. President Obama first lost my support when he apologized for America. There have been hundreds of thousands of young people who have given their lives fighting for and protecting this free country. If anyone doesn’t like it or feels ashamed of being an American citizen, then they should LEAVE.
Exactly!! Melanie, on becoming a US citizen stated she was proud to be an American as opposed to Mrs. Bat-Head’s
disgusting admission “for the first time in my life I am proud to be an American” = And remember when her and Bat-
head were attending a flag ceremony – she mouthed “all this for a flag” The day they depart will be a day of
celebration…..Counting the days.
Honey, you got that wrong. In 2013, Monkey face Michelle spent 1.4 Billion of my (AND YOUR )money
If so uses there own money and NOT THE PEOPLES MONEY LIKE
THE OBAMA’S DO.
As for the speach that
Is a basic, somthing any
Body would say, there is
NO PATTEN ON IT IS THERE?
you find what you look for–she is a class act that certain someones are jealous of, so therefore small minded people will look for something to degrade her about. What they have done is shown their desperation! To compare anything about her to MO is more pathetic than anything else they could say–why would anyone intentionally or unintentionally repeat something that woman says?
What did you expect from a mere dress-maker? And what did you expect from the wife of the biggest corrupted man in the history of the USA? If she doesn’t speak English -after 20 years of being here- she deserves to return to Slovenia to breed cows and goats.
Sorry your hate-mongering is showing go back to Mexico you hater
Manuel – sounds like you need a remedial course in bonehead English before bashing anyone else.
Sometimes it’s better to keep your mouth shut and that way your ignorance isn’t revealed to the world.
A mere dress maker? If that were true, and it’s not, is there something wrong with that? Melanie is an accomplished woman, a devoted wife and mother, a woman with class, and a proud American. She loves this country and is grateful to have the life she has here in this country.
Manual – have to say… really YOU r a loser to say mean spirited crap like that.
Do you speak FIVE LANGUAGES like Melania does? Own your own business?
Are you a legal citizen proud to be an American? Maybe your answer to all 3 questions would have to be NO.
manuel u said it He met her when she was a stripper and tha speech was not hers she cant even speak much less write a speech. Talk about trump cheeto face calling people dishonest etc etc! Look who is calling the kettle black !! I know everyone coming to her defense is republican and white! Lets see anyone of u do a better job being president and talking about michelle! Melania tries to act dumb and innocent ! posing naked for GQ who wants a tramp like that for a first lady So stop the hate about obo and michelle just because they are black! cuz i am hispanic and proud of it!!!!
Manuel post your paper here proving citizenship or green card. Otherwise you have no business criticicizing any one!
Melania does not spend millions on vacation like Monkey face Michelle, who spent 1.4 Billion in 2013,
Melania is NOTHING like Michelle! Loved her speech!! I don’t think she was set up and I don’t think it was plagiarism either. I think the media has to find something wrong with everything and digs up stuff that isn’t true just to get publicity. Melania will be a very classy, smart, loyal, hard working First Lady in similar comparison to Jackie Kennedy, & Nancy Reagan. Completely opposite of what we have today in Michelle Obama! I think there are bigger things going on in the world today to think about, pray about, and worry about… Then whether or not Melania Trump copied her speech or not!!! Wake up people! Take a look at your own faults before judging someone else’s! I believe God has chosen Donald and Melania to help lead our country….stop criticizing, and judging… Just SUPPORT & BELIEVE!!!!
I agree completely!
Very nicely said Jackie –
As far as the media, if they cannot tell the difference between a gracious lady and a classless clod that is their problem.
Well said Jackie. The liberal media just looks to find fault. The message was sincere and heartfelt and no one has license to copywrite . Those like the preening Mika Bresinski and the vasilating Joe Scarborough would have you believe she created a mortal sin. Listen to some of Melania’s interviews and you will see a similar sincere message. She was elegant and a far cry from Michele–thank God.
I also believe that Melania is BEING GENUINE . I ALSO DO NOT BELIEVE that she plagiarized any one for any reason . When you speak of someone else that you LOVE AND RESPECT , it’s so easy to say the same kind of thing that someone else has said before . If that’s what you think and feel, that’s what you say . Every one knows that the Media today is only interested in DISCREDITING the REPUBLICAN Party ideas and SHOWING EVERYTHING form the DEMOCRATIC Parties POINT OF VIEW . If they don’t , today’s potus will take away their LUNCH HOUR AND THEIR LUNCH MONEY !
They might end up 6 feet under or at the bottom of the river.
not a big deal. when a person lies under oath and nothing happens.
Good point!!!
And does Melania spent yuuge amount of taxpayers ‘ $$$ to fix her whole body like Michelle but worthless. The line Melania used to encourage children to set goal and follow their dream were used decades ago by all good parents, certainly was not michelle ‘s audacity. Why didn’t anybody see the difference in class and beauty between these 2 women? Of course not the media.
Totally Agree!!
Perfect answer. Those BUTT ugly liberal progressive baby killers are simply jealous of her grace & beauty.
It amazes me how ANY democrat can say or do anything and the media either ignores it or explains it away. We’ve gotten to the point where a republican could wipe their hind end and someone either a democrat or a media writer would say that a $ $ was not wiped correctly! The only good thing coming out of this is that the media is in panic mode due to the fact Trump could very well win this thing!
Melania is lovely, beautiful and she has excellent taste…unlike some of the vulgar media who are always ready to find fault. Every politician has speech writers (I happen to personally know Bill Clinton’s and that’s a story in itself). Melania totally outshines any of our former “First Ladies” (including Michelle Obama whose latest is trying to be a comedienne)…with the possible exception of Jackie. Her appearance and her speaking gave some much-needed class to an otherwise dismal event. Cheers for Melania! Her appearance and style was perfect! Which is more than I can say for many media personalities and celebrities.
Bull honess people think that way. I think that that way, since I was 12 I old. My word is my bond, I would not break it for anything in the World She let her feeling speak for her.I am like her, so I fallow Michelle
But the News Media forget
when Obama become President She said now I love America .That was fine You the Media are (are DISCASTING,THE PITS.Melanie did Great
I like that !!! Very wrll put and to thr point !!!! U r soooo right melania was speaking from her heart !!!! Thats something michelke doesnt have and woukd not know how to use it !!! I would really agree that mrs trump was set up by her writer !!! I think her speech was brillant and let people kniw just how lucky we r to hopefully have donald as our president !!! God bless the trump family and God bless america !!!
excellent point. AND wth anyway you know she took a couple of lines out of Michelle Obammies speech. If she is reading from a pre wrote speech than they really did pull a dirty trick on her and Donald. I hope they enjoyed themselves and felt proud that they humiliated her in front of the convention…wow…..really impressed at just HOW low the butt heads will go to get their point across.. I hope Donald makes heads roll over this.
Of all the important things going on and the ISIS attacks all over doesn’t it seem like someone with an ounce of brain wouldn’t think of making this a big deal..But we will hear about this for a long time. Sad isn’t it that some can’t resist pointing their finger at someone when they have done things a hundred times worse..
I thought the speech was good. I love the fact that the bikers were their to support Trump and make sure there was no interruptions…lol.. Go Bikers…and Go Trump 2016
I believe she was set up. I also think a great deal of the speech was her own. Whoever put in those quotes needs to own up to it and tell the world they did it!
Even if the speech was verbatim copied, the difference really is pne os lying as they always do and the other is telling the truth.
I think she did a swell job due to her English and she is not like our first ? in the White House taking advantage of the American people
Blinded by racism, you are ready to give a pass to a lack of integrity , lies and outright thievey.
And you call yourselves Christian.
Jesus died for nothing I suppose.
You SUPPOSE wrong!!! Jesus our Lord died for us ALL.
These vipers who try to disparage Melania are disgusting sub-human steaming piles of manure, who are so insecure and envious they stew in their black goo of misery all the days of their lives!
No Body Cares. NBC
Whether Melania was “set up” or not doesn’t matter. She delivered a heartfelt and beautifully
Loving speech. Michelle couldn’t on a single iota compare with Melanie’s
Love and loyalty for God, Trump, Family, Americans and America.
They are in separate leagues in every way. Michelle is so lucky she
Had the opportunity to spend so much of our taxpayers money.
I thought her speech was excellent for a first time speaker. And YES her speech writers most likely made this horrible mistake. GET OVER IT AND MOVE ON!!!
I think her speech was absolutely great and she, of all people, doesn’t need to copy Michelle Obama. Those two have NOTHING in common. Go Melania!! 🙂
Touche … I ask you, how many speech writers did Moochelle have…
I know she didn’t write her speech and I know she she said those words in her speech, but don’t and never has walked the talk! So… The point is redicilous
These phrases are pretty trite. If I were writing about morals, ethics and family values, I would pretty much say the same, my parents taught me to respect others and that my word is my Bond, etc.
However, I would not put it past someone to have set her up. And she will know exactly who. Sure feel sorry for them. Won’t be much left of them when Donald gets done with.
Agree 100%
The western media are rats and love to kick a good person when he/she is down.She did a good job and was ill advised and to some extent, her husband it to blame for throwing her to the wolves so soon. Who remembers what was said 8 years ago, except perhaps a professional speech writer that may have assisted in this tragedy? The election is for the Presidency, not for his wife. The comment, above, that she will spend like a mad women when and if she becomes the First Lady is just so much malicious rubbish. Trump is a billionaire and I am sure that his wife is not wanting for very much. Lets keep our eyes on the ball and that ball is seeing that the Democ-rats do not retain power and further destroy America.
I doubt if Mrs. Trump even knows in the English language what plagiarize means. If it was done on purpose then the writers should be fired.
Once again, the LIBERAL Media is TRYING to make a mountain out of a mole hill. It’s amazing to see the majority of thousands on various web sites all supporting Mrs. Trump and commenting on her graciousness, class and strength she showed during her speech. So many of the words and or lines she said have been said for decades. It’s the MEDIA trying to find something wrong with the GOP and the first two nights of an AWESOME Convention!
BTW….I cannot believe that the Democratic Convention has invited Michael Brown’s mother to speak. For those who may have forgotten, Michael Brown is the violent thug who robbed a store, assaulted the clerk, then savagely beat and tried to kill a police officer. We really need to stop and reflect on the fact that the Democrats are putting his mother on stage — the mother of an attempted cop killer — right in the middle of a month when police have been threatened, attacked, and murdered all across the country. It is beneath contempt. They are, at this point, openly instigating violence and racial unrest, and they’re using their convention to do it!
As far as I can remember only disrespectful THUGS call our POLICE OFFICERS “cops”…….
Let respect start NOW!
This is the beginning of the down fall of Donald Trump. I once told you God is a God of justice and principles. God cannot give Trump financial power and political power at the same time. It dose not walk that way. If Trump wins the US Presidency l’ll stop being a Christian. I know God is God.
What makes you think you’re a Christian? The
next president will ultimately be God’s choice.
I pray it’s someone who loves this country and
can turn it around and heal it.
Remember, at the time that Michelle Obama was not in the White House yet; she was going into it …
So, no government funding here yet!
The women who helped with Melania’s speech is either an idiot or a Democrat in a sheep’s clothing. The ideas were the same but different words using a Thesaurus could have prevented this. Melania did a great job.
You haven’t seen nothin yet!!!!!!
Heard on Sean Hannity today (7-20) that Mrs Bob Dole used almost the exact same wording in ’96 when she spoke for her husband. Nothing said about Mrs Obama possibly using her words improperly.
They will look for anything to bash someone! Everyone has a past, even Hillary. Which past would you rather have! Did Melania hurt us in any way? Did Hillary hurt us in any way?
How has Hillary made her money? How has Donald made his money? Need I say more?
If it would have been Hillary’s daughter in harms way, would the order have been “Stand Down?” And would she have said, “What does it matter now anyway?”
I was most impressed with Mrs. Trump’s speech. She did an outstanding job and the speech was outstanding.
I thought Melania’s speech was terrific. I watched Fox news and they thought so too.
Yes fantastic speech she is a very classy Lady, Michelle Obama does
not even begin to compare to her!
I agree. She was fantastic!
Very outstanding!!!!
Her speech was just as good as Michelle Obama. The word that Michelle us she don’t own those word who parent didn’t say to them. So I say keep your head up ms. Trump and don’t let them get too u. That their job to bring people down and kill their spirit.
Right because they are idiots! You are right Michelle does not
own those words and Malania sounded so much better than
Michelle!
I was impress by Juliani, he was Fantastique speak from his heart listen to him CITIZENS.
I love that man he love AMERICA.
I am for everyone who care & love this Country
Who thinks of this BULLSHIT both women are beautiful and highly intelligent.
HAHAHA.. You are a liberal or you are blind.
Benoni! Get your glasses checked!
Must have cataracts.
You need classes to see mrs Ubama as pretty woman. She is so …. comparing to Beyoncé of natural beauty not tons of plastic surgeries like michelle your belle.
WHAT PLANET ARE YOU ON ANYWAY ?????????????
Michelle with all that surgery still is one ugly woman
May have been done on purpose lol,to mock the he-she
Trump’s people should have given her pointers…it’s not her fault…
or this could have been a set-up…I like her…TERRY
I like her beauty and soft voice, I don’t think she can ever yell the heck out like hiLiary to Bill and secret servicemen or that macho michelle
I totally agree with you. This is really Trump’s fault, at the core of it. The wife of the Republican nominee stealing words ….
Just despicable!!!
Obama’s don’t own the English language ,duh duh .
The Obama’s have no patent on Webster’s Dictionary ,
Very few even watched Mrs Obama speaking other than the statement “first time she was proud of her country”
I could care less where the words from in Melania’s speech. I truly feel it came from her heart. Michelle is a very bitter and racist woman and was shown in her comments while Obama was running for President.
So true!
You are right, I didn’t watch her ever, only learned from commentators ( Sean Hanity or Bill o’reilly ) of the stupid things she said. The famous dumb speech : ” in my adult life this is the first time I was proud of AMERICA ” didn’t get picked up by the liberal media. If it was Melania, the media lefts would pound on until she apologized to the whole nation ( to humiliate her not because they care about the nation )
Donald needs to have a long talk with these speechwriters and get to the bottom of this.
I’m betting that he has already had that talk. and that whoever was involved has already been fired.
I think it’s ok since her beauty will make up for the mishaps, besides what was in Macho obama speech was not invented by her in 2008 but it has gone around for decades teaching children by good parents specially the in high school or about to choose a career..
She did a wonderful Job! Melania is the type of role model our young daughters need.. educated, hard working, dedicated, self made, cultured and beautiful inside/out! It is going to be refreshing to have a First Lady that actually loves America, thinks that we are a Great Nation with Great People and is PROUD to be an American!
I so agree with you Leslie. She’s a refreshing breeze for America, along with her non-PC Donald. I hope he wins in a landslide !!!!!
I fully agree with you. She did Great. They are trying to pick fly poop out of pepper !!
I LIKE THAT COMMENT ! I’ve NEVER HEARD THAT ONE BEFORE ! BUT it sure says it right !!!
LOL!!!! Never heard that one!!!
Good one. And very true. I thought convention was very well planned and controlled. So glad it did not dissolve into delegates betraying their citizens.
The biggest discord and juvenile behavior was from the liberal commentators.
I watch it and 100% she was set up the writters copyed the same speech as miss Obamas but change a few words in it the writer needs to be fired a.s.a. p.sorry to see this
Is there these mental stups won degrade ?
Melania overflows with GRACE, DIGNITY and CLASS
The Dems are so jealous of TRUMP and HIS FAMILY and the empire they have all built TOGETHER. And YES!! He DID BUILD IT!!!
Dems get over yourselves!!! Melania did a FABULOUS JOB She is world class elegance. Michelle Obama can NOT compete. Period
We know mooch has no class or grace or STYLE
TRUMP!!!!!
@ Awake
I agree with you completely! She does have class and did an excellent job on the speech. Words being similar to someone else’s speech do not mean they were copied from anyone else.
Mrs. Trump is a first class lady, mother and wife. She reminds me of another first class First Lady, Jackie Kennedy. Manlania was poised, gracious and honest. A speech writer is responsible for this media frenzy. Trump campaign officials should be reprimanded. Move on media news and talk about real issues facing our great nation.
The dems are on their way out and having a hard time knowing their gravy train off the American people is coming to an end , so they’re grasping for anything . Their ploy to take down America is so obvious to Many .. So Good Riddens you bums. DONALD 2016 !!!!
Exactly
Jealous of Trumpet, he is a total Jerk ,I can’t see where his kids even like him the awful things he says about people.
GO MELANIA………….
YOU’RE GOING TO MAKE US VERY PROUD………..
YOU, THE ‘DONALD’, IVANKA, ERIC, DONALD,JR, TIFFANY AND BARON WILL MAKE A VERY ‘AMERICAN’ “FIRST FAMILY”………….
GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND KEEP YOU SAFE……………
AMERICA FIRST…………
GOD BLESS OUR BELOVED AMERICA AND MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN………….
AMEN !
It’s t he speech writer’s fault–Melania probably ever heard Michel, the writer will be hearing Donald’s famous words “your fired”. More importantly,there is nothing about her like Michelle. Even if the words were similar or he same, they were true as opposed to what we hear from others. We’ll see how picky the media is next week when liar Hillary starts talking.
at the end of the day, does it really matter. The media should spend time on more constructive matters
I agree. The speech was so good, they couldn’t come up with anything else to write about.
I agree, there has been nothing but dirty tricks and media bashing on Mr. Trump since he has entered the race. He has had to fight every bit of the way to get where he is today. All this ugly stuff just makes more people want to vote for him.
Mrs. Trump did use the words, however these words are often spoken my any wife about her spouse. The real rub is Obama didn’t live up to any part of those words! As you said above, There are MUCH bigger fish to fry in this election. Mrs. Clinton lies every time she opens her mouth, breaks the law more time then we can count and no media thrashing, or charges brought. Obama has put this country in jeopardy and instigated race killings and riots. Then again, no big deal from the media. Let’s just throw Obama out now and elect Trump now, put Hillary in the pen and start back to bringing this country back to where it belongs while we still can.
Great comment! The democratic press is at it again. Really nit picking again at a really classey lady. Look like a bunch of jealous teenagers!
Great comment! The democratic press is at it again. Really nit picking again at a really classey lady. Look like a bunch of jealous teenagers!
Awesome !!!! Bruce
Come on. Give her a break. She is not guilty of anything.
BOY ARE YOU BLIND ABOUT HER ,SHE HAS HURT THIS COUNTRY RIGHT ALONG WITH MR.OBAMA AND THE REST OF THEM THAT ARE WITH THEM ALL THEY DO IS TAKE AND SPEND OUR MONEY,THEIR PAY SHOULD BE CUT DOWN TO ZERO SO THEY CAN FEEL LIKE THE COUNTRY WITH NO MONEY IN THEIR POCKETS AND TRYING TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES AND HAVE A HOME. TAKE THE BLINDERS OFF AND SEE WHAT IS TRULY GOING ON, THE GOVERNMENT IS BROKEN FROM THEM BEING IN OFFICE.
Karl-
“Not guilty of anything.”
You GOTTA be kidding. Have you read anything about her history? From being fired from her first job for being a dishonest, negligent, rules-flouting attorney to negligent homicide in the case of Benghazi, this sorry excuse has been a career criminal.
You should probably start your re-education by going to Youtube and putting “The Clinton Chronicles” in the search window – then watch other related recommendations. Once you do apprise yourself of multiple facts you currently appear to to be quite ignorant of, you MAY have a change of mind and heart.
“Ok, how many people are voting for Hillary? Raise your hands. Ok, now use them to slap yourselves with, you’re idiots.”
Often on occasions, hungry individuals receive what you bought as a raw product; especially when you close your eyes and your ears, while opening your heart in seeing, hearing, and believing just a sweet taste of what you are searching for.
Today, many Republican voters were and are so hungry for a change; many bought and lapped up a message like a dog would lap up milk.
The messages were advocated by a candidate with fabricated messages based on attacking, damaging, and destroying any and every challenger who questioned the competitor.
Today, it is not too late. The curtain will very soon open for cleanliness or close within a few days leading to major GOP losses for the November, 2013 General Election.
What direction of the curtain will the GOP National Convention Delegates and Alternates vote; open or close?
November, 2013 General Election?? You are really behind the times. It’s November of 2016!! Get a clue! And the only losses the GOP will have in November will happen if Stupid-in-chief declares martial law. Then, no one wins.
Exactly
SHE’S BEAUTIFUL AND VERY WELL SPOKEN, NOT LIKE UGLY MICHELLE OR HILLERY. LEAVE HER ALONE SHE’S THE WHITE HOUSE QUEEN OF WHAT A REAL WOMEN LOOK’S LIKE, SHOULD SOUND LIKE AND BEHAVE’S LIKE. YOU ALL ARE JUST JEALOUS HOW GOD CREATED SUCH A GREAT PERSON, JUST LIKE HER WONDERFUL HUSBAND DONALD. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH.
Seems to be a real lady.
We would be proud to have her as First Lady.
She loves this country, and is not ashamed to say so.
Does anyone think that M. Obama is the only person in the world to link those words together?
I have used similar expressions in my teaching of military students and I can assure you it was before Obama was even born. It sounds more like words from a person lovingly said about someone they admire a lot. You can bet your bottom dollar M. Obama did not originate the words so where is the outrage over that?
I totally agree with u I have said words similar about my parents and I am proud to be an American right now with all that’s going on I am afraid so we need someone like trump to be head of our country. God bless the u s a .
Will Americans have to endure all of Trumps wives and mistresses giving speeches? Yawn…..
If that is what you believe – That’s what you will see. OPEN YOUR EYES – NOT YOUR MOUTH and see real TRUTH ! ! !
TRUMP 2016 !
I’m guessing that Michelle’s people won’t be making a big deal out of this because they plagiarized the same person that Melania’s people did, just 8 years earlier. Big deal – they all read stuff to us that other people wrote, and we’re supposed to be impressed?
I thought her speech was very heartfelt. I think those words are common words any wife might use when expressing her opinion of what we might expect from her husband as president. Unbelieveable that people are so petty.
I agree Sharon. This is exactly what I said in a comment earlier. These are words that anyone would use to express what we might expect. The media is again trying to stir up something.
Even if Melania plagiarized, the bias media AGAIN is making a mountain out of a mole hill! Almost every important speaker quotes from another famous speaker or two or just plain uses passages taken from other speeches. And what’s wrong with that? The media ALWAYS looks at the glass half empty and in this case exercising their liberal bias to try and bring down the GOP a notch (in this case Melania) any chance they get! This is TOTALLY a non-story blown waaaay out of proportion! In fact, it was an excellent speech that was spot-on and delivered in a very professional upbeat manner!
DITTO!!!
“Your Word is Your Bond” So, the media is all abuzz with ‘copied’ comments. Well, the idea that word is bond dates back to the bible. But, with a little research (why would the media do research?), the first time the complete phrase was referenced was by Melvyn Douglas, a famous actor from the 1930’s era. So, did Michelle copy it from him? And, Google shows 10’s of thousands of instances where it was used. Speech writers do this. They use phrases that have made a major impact before. So, why does the media have to tear the speech apart? Did they criticize Michelle’s speech in 2008 for copying Melvyn Douglas? No. I am a registered Independent and as such, I keep a close eye on the media and their bias. This has just gotten out of hand. The media is spending millions of dollars to ‘control’, not report, what happens in this country. Wake up America !
SharonL
Thank you so much Sharon, your post is very sensible and informative. And I too wonder why the media wants to spend time on superficial things. “While America burns, Obama fiddles…. with a golf club”…….. Oh My! “There I Go Again”….. Plagiarizing……… But “At This Point, What Difference Does It Make”?
I still don’t see the similarities between Melania’s speech and Michelle’s. What I DO REMEMBER is when Michelle Obama said: “This is the first time that I feel like an American” or something to that respect. Michelle showed that she HATES America and AMERICANS. That’s what I remember the most!
Melanie’s speech shows her admiration for America and she IS grateful to AMERICA!
Doesn’t matter she was beautiful the way she spoke..looked great and hopefully be first lady of the United States…
Melania ISN’T guilty of plagiarism, A whole lot of people says that kind of things in speeches.
Michelle doesn’t have copy rites to that sentence in the first place, neither does she own it.
I will be sooooooooooo GLAD when Oblowhard and Michelle are GONE, and never to return. Move to Kenya PLEASE!!!!!
Phillip, right on! M. Obama does not have any copy rights to this language in Melania’s speech. This is common language used by any loving woman referring to her family. Whoever published this plagiarism claim did it to defame her character. Mr. Trump should file a defamation of character law suit against this person. Make them pay for their slander.
Kenya has already stated that they DO NOT want the Obamas or their philosophies.
Only a creep like Hillorat would allow this kind of attack. The world worst lying woman, the worst criminal, and the worst women to ever threaten the American people has no right to send her attack machine after Mrs. Trump the next First Lady..How disgusting can one party get. Tell the truth or keep your mouth shut so people won’t know for sure you are stupid. But, you can’t fix stupid.
It’s a shame that the writer set her up. I still think that she did a great job getting it out there.
I think her speech writers did that deliberately. She is a beautiful person inside and out. The shame of it all is that when you are in public office or running for it, it seems to bring out the worst in people. They become like vultures and back stabbers and look for the bad in someone even if none exists. Evil Democrats could have paid off the speech writers to do that. I wouldn’t put it past them.
Mrs. Trump is very beautiful and intelligent and I thoroughly enjoyed her speech. She did an excellent job in front of a Huge crowd of people. Some people have nothing to do so they just look for ways to criticize others. The Media is just anxious to find something to put in the News so they can make a little money and have no consideration for the people they are criticizing. They often make mistakes themselves even when reading news announcements on live TV.
Well seeing how this is such a dirty mud slinging campaign , she every well might have been, or a really DUMBA$$ writer, any thing is possible, I think if a potus, wants to be right with the voters pro an con. they need not live LARGE or UP in the PUBLIC,S FACE , the need to be HUMBOLD an THRIFTY , an not flashing all of their TAX PAYER BLING an BLANG around, after talking about how much the government is in debt, an having to raise taxes , an cut services to the tax payer, an then have a multi-million dollar vacation or a 100,000.00 $$$ plus dinner for some king an queen or dictator who really doens,t like the USE except for their TAXPAYERS MONEY. We voter them to do the job they promised to do , not to live like some royalty who time has come an should be gone, for the GREATER GOOD of the CITIZENS, yes only time will tell if they who ever wins, will ABUSE THE PRIVILEGE of being the postus an the family of the potus, I don,t find much 50% of Trump to like, but I do find 100% of hrc not to like
She did a fantastic job. Here speech was highly effective. Those petty people trying to nitpick – about plagerizing – I’ve used almost her same exact words myself – so did Eleanor Roosevelt before Michelle Obama. How many ways can you say” It was the best of times- it was the worst of times”. Are we all committing plagerizm when we use those? There are common phrases and words that are used over and over – it is the context of their use and I’m sure that Melania was speaking about Donald and Michelle was not speaking of FDR. It shows you how desperate the Democrates and liberal media will stoop. A lot of what Ben Franklin printed was right out of the bible. This was not a case of intellectual property!
Just because the lyric from a song is used, doesn’t give the songwriter sole possession of said words. When writing music, you’re allowed to lift a certain number of musical stanzas without fear of reprisal. Now, if she had used the entire song, word by word, that’s plagiarism, because once a song is published there’s that whole copyright thing. I don’t see the kerfuffle here. For that matter, “My word is my bond” was said by Peter Pan! Give me a break.
Her speech was heartfelt and beautiful. I all but gagged when Michelle Obama gave her “speech” so I’d have to look at the two side by side and line by line to see just what this ‘hype’ is all about. Quite frankly the only thing that stands out in my mind from Michelle’s speech, was that she only just then proud of her country. I do believe ’tis “much ado about nothing”.
It is truly sad that your publication and others would lower themselves to focus on a few repeated words when we have people killing people like it is a hunting season.
Melania gave a heartfelt and well spoken message about who her husband really is and what his purposes are; and how thankful she is to be a citizen of this great country.
If you would concentrate on the positive aspects of an event instead of choosing petty issues as your main focus you would have many more readers respect your reporting as worthwhile
This is unfortunate but the media is blowing this out of proportion. As usual the media is pushing for Hillary and do all they can to make Trump and now his wife look bad.
Really, folks? Is that all they could make up? ugh. Melania is a lovely woman with her own thoughts. She doesn’t need to copy anyone, especially the aforementioned. The liberal trash media will ALWAYS find something negative when they feel threatened. The truth is, you won’t be able to ‘top’ this potential FIRST LADY. So sad that the liberal media continues pathetic, desperate banter. It used to be that the media was where “we the people” went for truthful information. Those days are gone forever through evil intent. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
No one repeats all the major plagiarisms committed by Uncle Joe, President O’bozo from Daval Patrick or Michelle O’Bell’s utterance “this is the first time in my adult life I’ve been proud of my country” – she and he coward husband should consider their entire family including her mother to a Muslim country where Sharia law is practiced.
I’m sure they’d be much happier and I know the rest of would be for certain.
At least Melanie is a proud Naturalized American Citizen unlike Michelle O’Bell.
She loves America, she loves and respects her husband, she has worked and achieved her dreams, she values our way of life and desires for her child and generations of children to come to live in a free nation. Coming from Communism and a country stifled by it, she knows first hand what socialism and communism offers to the common man…. Not achievement and not peace! I loved her speech and her sincerity of love for our country! Thank GOD she didn’t say what Michele said, ‘for the first time I’m proud of America’. Her pride comes in knowing the difference of slavery to a government ideology and freedom from it!!!
She chose to come to America and embrace it as her own!
BRAVO Mrs.Trump!
I hope that you are our next First Lady!!!
Amen to your comments! She did an absolutely beautiful job with her speech and it was very inspiring! I do hope she is the next first lady! It is very sad that so many people want to make nasty, divisive remarks instead of showing grace and integrity. Those people’s remarks are more of a reflection of who they are then of anyone else! Melania Trump’s heart and kindness came through in her delivery of her speech and no one can take that away from her!
Melanina us going to be a wonderful 1st lady not like Michelle Obama who wasn’t proud of this country until her loser husband was put on welfare by those who voted for him cause he’s done nothing but divide this country
remember when she said “I like America now when her husband was elected” Hmmmmmm
People are you serious?? I can not believe this is the topic of discussion today. For everyone’s information Obama and his wife also took excepts from speeches themselves. But the liberal media will not discuss that. This is just a mere attempt of the left trying to steer the focus away from the real issues that were discussed last night. Like Benghazi, violence and illegal immigration. I am sure Melania had some help with her speech. Big Deal. Get over it. There are bigger fish to fry. Try listening to the facts and we all could learn something.
Do not know who set up Melania, I just know that everything she said is the truth and whenever she spoke she was elegant and honest when she said she loved this country. When Michelle talks there is nothing but hate for this country and all the people in it, we can no longer support people that are trying to bring our country down from inside. I suspect this had something to do with the Ted Cruz insert in the campaign, he is just like Obama’s in that all he cares about is himself and does not care what happens to the country.
Don’t spew the Cruz assumption…you will be feeding into the liberal dog crap….Remember Obama and Michelle also used experts from other peoples speeches. The liberal media is all about drama…The want us to remove the focus off all the good that went on last night. Lets keep up are support for Trump and unite!
I listened to her entire speech and I thought she did an excellent job. Her speech was almost 1200 words and those words or sections are and would have been said by any wife, mother or honest speaking person! Liberal media and Demicrates get over it. Every person giving a speech including Michelle Obama and President Obama have been accused of the same thing. Again get a LIFE. ????????????
Stephen Dietrich needs to find something else that is more important to write about. This is nothing but nonsense and just trying to get people to throw mud. To many people have forgotten what Thumper said. “If you can’t say something nice about someone don’t say anything at all”
Melania before someone posts that I can’t spell her name right
She did a great job, what she said has been said by many people before. Perhaps both of their Parents took it from someone and taught it to their kids. Enough already. I hope the American people see through this biased Liberal media.
Malania Trump delivered very elegant speech in the Republican Convention. She was so beautiful, natural, sincere, and most of all patriotic, appreciated so much the love and of America gave to all those who follow the law like her. She narrated the story of her life, how she grow up raised by parents with very high morals, responsibilities to face in life. She carried forward the high moral values to her family, her son, and also shared with the children of her husband Donald. She sincerely and honestly narrated honestly about the honest, hard work that her husband does, and the love he shares to all people, and his country the United States of America. It was a very beautiful speech in addition to her grace and beauty.
On the contrary, Michelle Obama’s speech before told about how she hate her country before, and now that was the first time she loved America. In addition, there was no grace, no beauty, on Michelle, because her face, reflected of the hatred she had for America as she stated it. In addition, I think Michelle was ugly, go uglier when reflecting her anger she portrayed and carried in her life. There was no grace on her speech deliverance.
Really, folks? Is THAT all you could come up with (liberal media)? So desperate. Melania gave a wonderful speech, is a lovely woman, and will make AMERICA proud to have her beside Mr. Trump in the Oval Office. There would be no need for using anyone else’s words, especially the aforementioned suggestion.
It’s such a shame that the media used to be where ‘we the people’ got truthful information. Those days are gone due corruption and political correctness which is ruining our beloved nation.
Time to put liars aside, move forward in truth, honesty and the AMERICAN WAY. Let’s move on to saving our country from going over the cliff. We’re running out of time.
Seems to me that more of the same would be beneficial to America. I don’t think that Melania had any idea or intention to plagiarize anyone, least of all, Michelle Obama.
Mooshell an Melanie that’s a pair to draw too! about the speech im gonna do what hillbilly did, raise my hands and say at this point does it really matter. there things far more important to discus that really mean sumthing to sumbody. this is so petty I cant believe they would go there. the media must think we are morons. but I think the media sucks seawater.
Melany is genuine, Michelle not, she doesn’t love America, like her husband; they are more racist that the white American.
Please review MLK’s speech vs Declaration of Independence .
:”All men are created equal”, plagiarism? ?????
The pseudo intellectuals are ?????
She didn’t say anything that a wfie that absolute confidence in their husband wouldn’t say. no plagiarizism involved just a wife who thinks very highly of her husbands capabilities
President-to-BE T, It’s GOOD to save money on a WASTE of money like a Presidential Campaign, however, I should HOPE that it’s evident by THIS JUNCTURE that it’s TIME to spare NO EXPENSE on a “WARTIME CONSIGLIERE”. HELLO! You are in the MIDST of a NUCLEAR WAR directed at you and your FAMILY. You HAVE BEEN all along but it’s about to get REAL UGLY. They WILL trot out EVERY TRICK IN THE BOOK and NOT in the book. DIRTY or NOT dirty. You NEED a MULTI-Dimensional Chess MASTER thinking 100 steps ahead or “They” will chew you AND your Family UP and SPIT OUT what’s left. You have the Proverbial “Tiger By the Tail”! DO NOT let them “Jerry Cooney” you! “They” NEED to take you out with “EXTREME PREDJUDICE” in order to make an EXAMPLE of what WE should NEVER DARE ATTEMPT AGAIN. DON’T let them get away with it! Please!
Melania was absolutely FANTASTIC!! Hillary’s crew is in full panic mode, as they should be. What a contrast Melania and Ivanka bring to the table – composed, articulate and brilliant women surrounding our next President, as opposed to Hillary and her crew, who are shrill, hateful and deceitful. Election Day can’t get here soon enough!!
I dont know if she was tricked or not but if you think about it Ms. Trump speaks from the heart. Not like Obama”s wife. 8 years of betrayal and lies. I think she’s a female?
WHY WOULD ANYONE THINK MRS. TRUMP COPIED A PHRASE FROM MRS. OBAMA?
“YOUR WORD IS YOUR BOND” I WAS TAUGHT THAT IN FOURTH GRADE MANY YEARS AGO. THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE BELONGS TO ALL OF US WHO WISH TO LEARN AND SPEAK IT PROPERLY.
Melania radiates beauty, class, warmth, intelligence, and sincerity. Need we say more?
Of course Melania is graceful, poised, elegant and classy. Those are prerequisites for Trophy Wives. That’s why they get the 12 carat rings and fancy clothes. I thought she did a fabulous job.
This morning all I am hearing is MSM talking about Melania and her speech and how a few words were almost the same few words Michelle Obama spoke at the DNC. The key reason these same few words paralleled were Melania lives and has lived by these words where Michelle just spoke them. Actions always speak louder than words and the contrast is crystal clear. Time and again Michelle has shown by her actions that following up with conviction on her words are absent. Maybe she would still have a license to practice law if she lived by these same words. Who gives up a license they worked for sans any explainable reason? Please don’t allow “The Team” to apologize for these words but amplify them and the practice necessary to afford their credibility.
With great respect,
Mike
Thank you Mike…you are so right….they are words…coming from Melania meant something to me….from her heart!!!! I believe her…and Donald!!!! Go Trump!!!! USA!!!
Well said Mike.
This is so ridiculous. Mrs. Trump said what any American might say. Michelle Obama is not even proud of this country. The liberal media is so desperate that they have to come up with this petty stuff. What else can they talk about, as they refuse to talk about Liar Hillary which is what they should be talking about. Hillary Clinton would finish this country off and give us 4 more years of Obama.
There is no comparison between the two. We won’t have to make Malana over, she is perfect already , here speech was very good. Anybody can say what she said, I say it all the time , I was taught never give up. There is no word in vocabulary for quit. You keep trying . Open your eyes people, our country is going the tube. We must get rid of all the hate and evil. God help us now and be with this election.
MELANIA TRUMP, YOU ARE A BIGGER PERSON, JUST DISREGARD, PUT IT ASIDE AS A MISTAKE, THAT THE MEDIA CAN PLAY ON. THAT’S ABOUT ALL IT’S WORTH. YOU DID A LOVELY JOB, AND JUST DON’T LET THEM ALL OF THEM DO HARM TO YOUR BRILLIANCE. YOU ARE SMARTER THAN THAT. JUST DROP IT. AND MOVE ON.
I thought she gave great speech ….. Those 2 referenced sentences are quite generic!! Is this the only thing to talk about .? At least she didn’t say it was the first time she was proud of America like Michele did.
I DON’T CARE IF SHE COPIED SOMEONE. .. because she could remember such a long speech….is the very good thing I gave her a big “A”…. for every speech… no matter what ….we have to searching and get notes and study to present in front of the people …such awesome speech. …just leave her alone …. don’t bug her anymore she’s our princess……
I guess if you use the words ,And,But,Maybe or some other common words someone said before that’s plagiarisms
Melanie did a wonderful job with her speech.
Such class! So REGAL! Melania speaks..how many? languages? Michelle barely speaks English. There is NO comparison to either Michelle (or Hilary). If you wish a comparison…try Jackie Kennedy. It would be GREAT to have INTELLIGENCE AND CLASS back in the White House, and be RESPECTED again by the world. btw- I never even NOTICED the phrase they’re talking about…her speech was so flawless. I imagine, speaking in front of THAT many people for the first time, had to be terrifying. She pulled it off like THE FIRST LADY she is. I hope to hear more from her as such
Something tells me that Michelles’ crappy lunch program will be replaced with REAL, NUTRITIOUS FOOD, maybe grown right at the schools. GREAT IDEA.
This whole discussion is ridiculous. She did a nice job and is not a professional public speaker.
Interesting to see if Bill will plagiarize when he gives his speech looking to become the First Shady .
Billy will never be the first WHOREMASTER ………..
Loved Melania’s speech and you could tell it was from the heart. These 21 words in conflict are words my parents said to me all my adult life. Some people should get a life!
What a lot of nothing about nothing. Melania has lived and been in so many places as a young woman then and now and probably knows more about songs,music, art than the majority of the critics here. I can find myself even saying this and I have never ever heard the song! It is a phrase that has been around for centuries, so get real! Insulting her about spending as much or more than Moochelle makes me laugh. Melania has looks and money that Moochelle would sell the rest of her soul or maybe the lower part to have. Melania knows more royalty and high society that Moochelle stills drools over but will never ever be accepted by any of them. How childish the article and the response of afew o callese la boca! Stupids with stupid remarks makes me wonder why they even stay in America if they can’t accept true beauty, intelligence (she is a university graduate and architect, speaks 6 languages, and her English was perfect as I have taught English to foreigners!, and your jealousy and lack of brains is so obvious. She will make a very smart and classy first lady and I can only think of one other I liked and that is Laura Bush and I have lived thru a lot of first ladies (fit word for some but certainly not for all and certainly never ever for a non-lady like Moochelle!
Well said and Excellent!!!
if melania is guilty of stealing words what is crooked Hillary guilty of ??????? besides she made the people like her mickey
I heard the speech and Melania delivered her written speech like she really meant every word. Speeches are written to be eloquent and that she most definitely delivered on…. You can also tell she had some influence on the subject matter…
If you go back to Nancy Reagan, Laura Bush, Hillary Clinton, all of their first lady speeches are very similar when making like comparisons.. This is just a nit picky way of the wicked federalized liberal media taking away any positives for the night..
What they are wanting to hide is Patricia Smith’s testimony of her son Shawn Smith and how it buries Hildabeast.. I also heard that the mainstream media didn’t show Rudy’s awesome speech at around 10pm.. I
Toss you little sissy spitwads lamestream bullshitters, see if the stick; NOT Teflon Trump and his gorgeous wife put obama and his ole lady to shame! Its too late for you liberal idiots…you lost already, you had 8 years to get something right and you got nothing, zip, zero, nada! TRUMP TRUMP TRUMO!
Someone should check ALL previous potential first ladies’ speeches to see if the same or similar words were used in them.
It will probably be found that similar words were used in several previous speeches.
In any case, I am concerned about our security, economy, jobs, health care, state of our military, care of our veterans, etc.,
not Melanie’s speech wording!
Melania did an excellent job & will make a great first lady We all know the liberal media would find something to attacker her. Trump has to win, or were in deep trouble.
She also said “God Bless America.” I suppose they will say she plagiarized that as well.
NOT her fault. Melania is a very nice lady, a devoted mother and good role model. The attacks on her make the MSM and Democrats look bad. I see her as the victim in this case.
This is nuts!!
These words are nothing more than what everyone else in the political arena says. It’s not plagiarism, it’s what the majority of us know to be what life in America should be. Fortunately, Mrs. Trump actually believes in those words and her Husband will act on them, unlike the current President, First Lady and their “crew”, which includes the Clintons and all other Socialist thinking Liberals, who push a failing agenda. When are people going to get back to the values that made this Country the greatest and most companionate Country to ever grace this Earth. It’s one thing to say people should work hard in life to reach their dream and goals, it’s another to actually supply an avenue for them to do so. This has certainly not been the case over the last eight to nine plus years (remember, the Democrats held both houses during Bushes second term), just look at the percentage of people who are now on Government assistance. Fro the most part, the main stream Republicans are also to blame for this, though they have a much tougher time pushing any conservative agendas, due to the extreme liberal bias (and agenda) of the main stream media.
I think the media on both sides is making “much ado about nothing”..another phrase used before by others. Obama used some of the same phrases in his Presidential announcement as John Edwards did in 2003. So what? Obama and Trump and countless others have used identical or nearly identical phrases to congratulate their wives after a speech. Does it make them all plagiarists? This nitpicking of everything is getting beyond ridiculous. What’s more important? Who said it first or who meant it when they said it? We all have our own opinions of Michelle Obama and what we decide about Melania Trump will have to be when/if Trump wins the election.
My belief is that Melania wrote down what she wanted to say and the speech writers edited from there. Did the writers lift something MO said? Possibly so. Maybe they put together words and categorized things in order that came out almost the same because it was all categorized for her in that particular phrase. Is it possible there were some similarities in how the two women grew up. Does that mean the younger one plagiarized the life of the older one, neither of whom knew the other back then?
Do you think it’s possible that millions of people who use the same words every day of our lives can sometimes come up with the same words or nearly identical ones to describe our feelings or a particular situation without having know someone else said it? It IS possible that two women from opposite sides of the political spectrum can care about the same things, say nearly identical things while, in action, find completely different ways to try to improve them. It’s also possible they said nearly the same things with a totally different meaning about what they said.
I think Melania gave a great speech and that’s all that really should matter. The media is probably the worst troublemakers in any political election year.
First, who cares? All I hear all over the internet is Melania should have said this or said that, or the people would have liked to hear or the people would like to know. The media doesn’t have the slightest damned idea what I’d like to know or hear and I’d be there are a lot of folks like me. All I’ve heard from the media is phrases that make it sound like Donald Trump would be the next Joseph Stalin. I think he genuinely loves this country, I think Melania does, as well and I REALLY wish the media would just let this be a presidential election.
The commentary of Bob Schiffer on the national news last night was absolutely despicable. It was said with no other purpose than to attempt to destroy a candidate in favor of another candidate. Shame on you, Bob Schiffer and shame on the network.
I thought her speech was outstanding she is so graceful and elegant as for Plegerism just another whinning Democrat trying to start something if you watched her she didn’t look at that teleprompter to often she was speaking from the heart and did a great job I highly doubt Melania needed any words from Michelle Obama. Hats off to Melania she came out gave a from the gut and heart speech that I wouldn’t have missed a word of she is a special lady they are a special couple I see them bringing class to the white house. Democrats and their cronies need to go work on their own stupid convention really why do people in our country think we always have to be criticizing what someone else does or creates sad and pathetic. Syd
What do you expect from the networks. They are propaganda machines for the Democratic Party. As for Bob Shitface, he is a low life elitist scumbag that has his head so far up his behind with his liberal media friends that he has no idea what real people think. Just like their biased polls that give the illusion that Hillery (Hitlery) is leading since the sheep like to vote for what the media tells them is a winner. Like the vote in England that shocked everyone. Polls lie!
I hate to burst the bubble but my own mother said something very very similar to me about my father when I was young.
So lets charge Michele with plagerism since I am 20 years here senior. Or , let this nonsense go !!
Melanie Trump is a soft spoken gracious woman. MICHAEL Obama on the other hand has me CONFUSED. TO YOU NAYSAYER LEFTISTS CUT THE CRAP AND GET WITH THE PROGRAM.
DONALD TRUMP WILL BE OUR NEXT POTUS AND (UNDER GOD) WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
Two people may speak from scripture; but what is important is the intent of their message…e.g., Question: do you “judge” their message based upon their character or simply what they say? Moreover, the light of “Truth” will make it plain for all to see who speaks truth and who speaks to manipulate or snare you. We share a “common” language, but we don’t all share the same beliefs, principles, and morals. We have “free will”, exercise it by choosing leaders wisely. Remember, John 10: 34-36.
Melania is a proud beautiful American. So I would guess every word of her speech was taken from someone sometime because every word has been said at sometime in history. Check the dictionary. I am 81 and have never been more discussed with my country and all the politicians. Nobody does what they get paid to do. Last, Melania is too smart and elegant to copy anything America hating Michelle would say or do. GOD BLESS us all. ALL LIVES MATTER.
Valerie: I don’t know about your claim that “melania can’t HOLD Michelle’s shoes,” but you’re absolutely right that Melania can’t “walk in them,” since they’re made for cloven hooves.
Valerie, who would want to hold Michelle’s shoes. You speak like a woman with a paper asshole. Go back to the Democrat site and play with Hillarie’s panties.
Michelle Obumer looks like a transvestite, ugly as hell. Melania Trump is beautiful, eligant, and has real character and loves America, unlike the low life’s presently occupying the whorehouse. The last thing we need to do is put two Clinton lowlifes in there. I am having a party the day the dems are out of there.
Well said
I believe Melania did a outstanding job of presenting a speech from the heart and soul so sad that we have political whiners out there that have nothing better to do than criticize others at the drop of the hat Sad world we have here I highly doubt Melania would ever need a word from a Michelle Obama speech. Melania gave a great speech she is so elegant and special and to have some loser come out and make cheesy accusation like that is plain sickening some democratic loser I will assume.. Go Trump 2016
The milkers will be gone in January……..
Before the latest Wikipedia update, I read her bio. She was much into charities and other outreach. Seems curious that this “coincidence” was ‘suddenly’ discovered after the speech and not before. “Those who practice to deceive…etc”. If speech-writers don’t look at prior candidates’ and wives’ speeches to avoid “this”, then we’re all nuts. Also, the entrance of Donald was not unlike the entrance of Obama…remember? We may be watching the alternate universe of Donald’s GOOD BOY to Obama’s BAD BOY! Many other similarities to compare Obama’s questionable history to Donald’s openness, like Reagan’s (restatement), “Make America Great Again”.
It will all come out in the ‘wash’.(actual origin–mountain creek ‘wash’, not laundry…a canyon flash flood ‘wash’ is the flow downstream where anything ‘lost’ in the stream will come out down at the end of flow/wash. Washing clothes does not mean it ‘all will come out’…). From one who lives in a mountain canyon and does his own ‘wash’.
WHoever gave her that speech was really ugly to do that to her. I am sure the poor woman is horrified. It was a dirty trick they played on Donald Trump’s wife and she deserves better than what the speech writer did to her. Whoever wrote the sppech should be fired or give an explanation as to why they would ever subject her to such a horrible thing as to have the same content in her speech as Michelle Obama. What were they thinking of. I still respect her and it isn’t her fault that someone tried to make her look bad. WIth being Donald Trump’s wife, I am sure she will be strong and ignore the ignorance of whoever wrote her speech. I personally would be livid if anyone did that to me, wouldn’t you?
What am I missing??? Her job was to give an honest uplifting accounting of her and or her husband from her heart. Instead she received some made up crap from a speech writer and didn’t even proof read it and delivered it flawlessly like she was doing an ad. Wow I really feel like I know her now. Or do I know her speech writer or Michelle? ???
Speeches are speeches and do not require a list of citations as do formal articles. Discerning the original source of spoken ideas
is impossible. Although, credit for many statements is awarded to “famous” persons, whether or not they originated the statement.
The idea that “Michele Obama” made an original statement – or created the ideas she has spoken in public speeches – is novel.
Short but sweet.Donald Trump is going to shake up the corrupt White house and that is why the Dem’s are afraid .
Melania does not deserve all the negative comments coming her way. I am not a Trump supporter, but I do feel Melania should not be held responsible for this. English is not her first language and she did not ask to be thrust into then limelight. She did her best and delivered her speech with grace and charm. I wish some of her would rub off on her husband. Donald terrifies me!
The media has got to be kidding! People quote similar songs and verses all the time.
How about talking about the positive messages that she indicated in the speech!
How about if the media stops glorifying the killers on our streets by making them famous. Because that IS what the killers want.
I didn’t know the obamas had patents on phrases!! Learning something new everyday. I listened to most of the speech and I don’t remember Mrs. Trump saying how ashamed of the USA she was. Did I miss that part?
When the Trumps travel, they don’t use our money, they use theirs. Look at the millions of taxpayers money the obummer have wasted on world tours and vacations. Spewing their hate for America. Don’t believe the liberal media. They hate America as much as the Obamas!!
Hello,
I am of neither persuasion…Democrat or Republican. However, what is the big dea
about this speech?! Perhaps the bias press should find something that is actually
important and pounce on that instead!
Mrs Trump is an example of the kind of people we want to attract to our great country. Those who would condemn her for a speech writers error could only be democrats. They wish to crush even the gentlest among us.
well I guess Micelle lied about Obama then as she does now, I really could care less, I think I have heard people say that sentence many times over the course of my life, and I am pretty sure it wasn’t Michelle Obamas big mouth that said it first.
Anyone wonder who was the first person to pick up their phone and alert the msm about this vile gross injustus? Michelle, Liebama, or one of their devil patrol minions? Take your pick. The BIG difference is this, the words spoken last night came from a genuine heart as opposed to when Michelle spoke them. To make a HUGE deal out of this is beyond laughable, but those of us who have sane brain cells firing know what is really going on with the demwit circus. We will just back to the real issues and laugh as the demwits keep foaming at the mouth at this vile gross injustus. Enough said!!!!!!!
I thought Melanie did a beautiful job. She’s gorgeous and graceful. I can’t believe anyone would be so petty to bring up such an unimportant fact.
I think that the speechwriter who helped her was very careless in putting her speech together……There are things that she would never say……Although, I believe that every word came from her heart and that she did an excellent job…..She could have been intentionally set up but that is hard to believe……Melania certainly would not have knowing have quoted Michelle Obama if she had known it…….She will make a fantastic First Lady who has a lot of class…..Let’s hope that the person who helped her with her speech doesn’t help her any more and that he/she will check facts, figures, etc,
Since someone wrote her speech and as you say Melania would not have knowingly quoted Michelle’s
speech (word for word); THEN HOW IN THE WORLD CAN THE SPEECH come from her HEART, we all
saw her eyes moving back and forth as she READ the speech. Oh well………. Beauty is in the eyes of the
BEHOLDER!
I thought she did beautifully & felt the words came from her heart, no matter who might have said them before. She will be a wonderful first lady.
They don’t want to talk about the poll numbers because Americans have caught on to how they twist them. Just today it was reported clinton was winning new york. Then when you read it shes winning in the city only and Trump the rest of the state. got to find something to bas trump about and give the clintoon clowns a little hope.
SHE WAS SET UP !!!
This accusation is ridiculous petty BS. My parents raised me with these same universal values (work hard, learn, respect others, & be honest ) as a million others who went on to have success in this world were also raised. This i(what Malanie said) is how everyone raised “right” expresses those universal life lessons that work. Sad CNN & even Horn etc. would think any recent first lady or anyone owned exclusive rights to an ancient & frequently repeated script that has been passed down parent to child by millions for generations. I enjoyed hearing that Malania’s birth country has families like hers who share these ancient “GOOD” values with many US citizens, and God knows some of ours have neglected to impress upon our children. To me, they cannot be stressed enough..that if you want success, you have to learn & put in the work, value work & take pride in your choices, what you do choose to do, respect others & be honest if you want others to respect you…there are no free rides in life…as Mrs. Obama has since her speech, flipped and has tried to pass out to our coddled youth who want more & more free, think they are entitled to freebees for life simply cuz they are in America ..that anyone in the world who crosses our borders the Obama’s are at the ready to give free unearned privileges to ….Quite the opposite of free “unearned” giveaways that the Obamas & Clintons championed at expense of tax paying citizens, Malania stressed that “Being a US citizen is a privilege” ! A major life changing privilege that she’s proud to have accomplished legally despite not being born in America. A privilege she would not have achieved if she had been lazy & lax or morally compromising. She speaks many languages which takes huge giant, giant brain capacity and she didn’t say UM once, not once!!! Something majority of Americans cant do attempting to sum up values dear to their heart in their one and only language! She’s truly an incredible, highly intelligent, moral lady LADY of the world who had every Nation open to her and she chose America and wasnt lazy about it. She learned our history, our laws & our language inside & out as she did with many others. We are the winners to have the privllidge she chose us.
I think that Melania did an excellent job on her speech. What she said made alot of sense, not like some others who think they are so great and the country can not live without them running it. She will make a beautiful, intelligent, and interesting First Lady along side her husband, The President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. Most people that pick pick about anything they can find has too much time on their hands and needs to get out to find them something worthwhile to do. I appreciate that both Mr. and Mrs. Trump want to put God back into our country. If you recall, He is what our country was founded on and if we don’t , America has no place to go but down. Please pray for them and vote for the best choice in this election!!!
Get over it! At least she didn’t say….’for the first time in my life, I can say am proud of my country’.
Hello, I an neither of the candidates political persuasion. However, why doesn’t
the bias press investigate some things that are really troubling our great county.
Best,
Beverly
I just listened to Melania Trump’s whole speech. And since I didn’t listen to Michelle’s convention speech, and haven’t listened to a Democratic convention since JFK was nominated, I don’t know whether or not she use something that Michelle said. But, what is the big problem? I think, it is with the media and the liberals who would do or say anything to discredit the Trumps! And maybe it is just plain lousy speech writing on the part of the people who were supposed to be giving Melania a beautifully written speech and didn’t come through! I think she did very well giving her speech, and it is obvious that she loves her adopted country and wants the very best for the USA and its citizens.
wow, love the hatin’ going on here today, beautiful .GO DONNIE, YOU ARE TOO KOOL FOR SKOOL………..
The horn news is full of crap and totally biased. Your writings continuously cater to right wing sentiment and perpetuate the uneven treatment in your discourse. You repeatedly make excuses for Donald Trump, and have demonstrated the same acts in previous presidential elections. Your theory of a set up or ignorance of her speech writers are excuses for the substandard competencies for those office of the president. Michelle Obama can’t where an elegant dress without being criticized while Mrs Trump gets a pass for posing nude. Mrs Trump operatives should have vetted the speech but that theory never crossed Your mind. Thus a pass.
Absolutely, don’t disagree with the teachings of Donnie or you will be smited by all the trumpeters …..Yes totally biased and directed to DJT. I will vote for lyin’ Donnie only due to not liking HRC, but don’t think I care for either one of them or Donnie is any better………….
Big difference between the two. Melanie is believable. Michelle didn’t and does not mean a word of what she said in her speech. Actions speak louder than words
Nancy a ” Believe” from Georgia,
Melania is an outsiders to the political process and arena they have know idea to what length the parties will go to “set someone up for failure or loss”. If it was not a setup know one would be talking about it today. I certainly want to encourage Melania that in this country there are many evil people and I pray she will be very discerning in the future to whom you trust. The person helping her these past 5 weeks knew exactly who’s speech he was coaching her with and for that they should be exposed. This is a disgrace to the American Public.
My Prayer would be that you would be the next First Lady of America and bring a little class to our country, it’s way over do. Thank you for your courage, strength and devotion to your husband, your child and his children.
Be of good cheer! It is I; Do not be afraid. Matthew 14:27 The media and people act foolishly but not our God
If Melania’s speech was borrowed from B.O’s wife, I think she made a mistake—she should have plagiarized the WHOLE speech as an in-your-face correct application of it! In fact, it would be good if the Trumps revisited the fields of B.O’s. overturned, tangled, moonscape of American wreckage of eight years by an illegal alien, and piece-by-piece put it all back together the way it was before they both went to work with their wrecking balls behind the secret curtains of the radical liberal media!
She was set up , and most definitely it’s not going to change my mind. I’m still voting for Trump.
I have total respect for Melania and Donald and feel so badly for how the media try’s to make a mountain out of molehills ….For her to give a speech like this, very important to them and the campaign, respectful, revealing and patriotic , was extremely important and scarey, for anyone !!!! She did an excellent presentation, has nothing to feel badly about….except for,the way the media and opposing party is treating her……It made me very proud to see this woman, whom I pray will be our new First Lady, who truly respects America and is proud and happy to be an American…….
Those speechwriters should be fired – if this is true. But as a 73 year old male, my parents instilled in me with very much the same words the same thoughts. If so, Michelle must have stolen them from my parents!
Besides the facts that these exact sentiments and wording appear in the Bible (probably unknown to Michelle and most of the Democrats accusing Melania).
I’m getting sick and tired of the liberal media picking apart anything that the Trump’s say or do!!!! IS THAT ALL THEY CAN SAY????? I guess Mrs Trump is a pretty savvy lady then if that’s all they can come up with (LOL)
When a word or phase of the English language is spoken by anybody that does not mean that word or sentence is owned only by the speaker forever. Every thing we speak has been used by somebody in the past or will be used in the future. If you say my parents were great. Does that mean nobody can say the same thing, that you own that statement forever, Get Real!!
Wasn’t it refreshing to hear her beautiful and gracious words about her husband (Trump) and about America? All Hillary
knows is to tear down and demonize ! Somewhere on tv, I heard that the speech writer was in-on both their speeches.
If so, I’m sure they would have a same ring-tone. It was great, at any rate, and anyone could tell she honestly loves
America and became one ‘legally’. I’m ready for a new First Lady of her calibre.
I thought Melania did a wonderful job giving her speech at the convention. Her presentation was very professional and she was sincere and couldn’t have said and meant those words any better. She gave us more insight into what Trump is really like and it was heartwarming. It sounds like he really does care about people and especially America. The fact that he married an immigrant who became a citizen of the U.S. shows that he is not against immigrants as the democrats try to accuse. He just wants immigrants to come into our country legally and follow our laws and then they will be able to improve their lives and enjoy the U.S.A. along with the rest of us. I am so disgusted with the news media for the way they try to pick apart what Melania said and find fault. The words she spoke seem appropriate for any potential first Lady to say and it only stands to reason that some of those very thoughts could have been said by others over the years because they are so appropriate. The news media seems so biased and juvenile in its reporting. Thank you Melania for your wonderful speech. I think you’d make a great First Lady!
Melania’s speech was terrific. This is very disrespectful for people to want to harm her the day after she stood tall in front of the world and praised the US and her husband’s patriotism. She deserves a lot of credit that must be a terrifying experience to address such a charged audience. She looks like a great candidate for First Lady.
Anyone watching her speak should realize she was not just good but great.If she used a few of the same or similar lines as Michelle O’bama so what!! How many different lines are there for a woman to talk about their husband except in a divorce court. When promoting a spouse how much can be said that wasn’t said by someone else before. I personally was very impressed by her speech and her poise and stature while giving a speech before millions of watchers. She is not a professional politician, speaker or lawyer and thank God for that too. We don’t need any more lawyers in politics at all. This small town girl from Slovania stood before the whole world and made a heartfelt caring speech about her husband. She showed nothing but poise, class and a deep felt love for her husband and all of America and what we all should stand for. I admire the sincerity with which she spoke never flinching or really stammering in her speech. She will make a outstanding First Lady and be a credit to America along with the President.
We already knew that R.E.M. doesn’t want Trump using its songs. We learned today that Queen doesn’t want him using its songs (you can be sure that Freddie Mercury is rolling over in his grave). I am guessing that Michelle Obama doesn’t want Melania stealing her speeches. Trump would probably be more popular if he would change his way of doing business and stop ripping other people off.
I think we are all acting a bit childish really. Think about it. Who is it that gets us going like this? All of us are
children of God. Yes we disagree on things. But why is it we choose to take a side and throw such terrible words at each other. I know I will probably be criticized for saying what I’m saying…..but what’s the point. There is a scripture that says that the devil goes around stirring up the hearts of men (and women) to anger one against another. I definitely believe it. Each and every person in this world has something good in them. We can look for that or we can look for the bad…..and whatever we look for, we will for sure find it. I think we need to take some deep breaths and remember who we are…..and who we want to become.
Do you know for what purpose you are here on earth? Do you? Well, this is our time to prove the kind of people we are….the kind of people we want to become. I pray we will all take a closer look at ourselves.
Kathy, you are so right. What is a reasonable person like you doing around these parts?
Now I know what the bull stands for Horn News is a Leftist democrat news business.You dare not say any thing about our muslim president but they go on printing everything they can get to make Trump look bad.
25 seconds of genetic exhortation in a 17 and 1/2 minute speech is hardly plagiarizing by her speech writer. Her speech was well crafted, balance and profoundly structured. The few borrowed sentences sprinkled here and there by her ill-advised speech writer did not contribute much to the substance of her endorsement of her husband. Get over it.
For God’s sake, there are more important things to talk about! They (the media and the dum-o-crap liberals) should all GET A DAMN LIFE already! Mrs. Trump did NOT purposely plagiarize anyone, especially obummer’s ugly male wife!! Ugh! GROW UP!!
Mrs. Trump is a beautiful, SMART warm person who cares about our country as much as Donald Trump does! She will make a PERFECT F9rst Lady for SURE, just as Donald Trump will become the BEST President this Country has ever seen! Stop giving her and Mr, Trump such a hard time about NOTHING! Ugh!

Pete Estrada:
You are exactly right my friend. I wrote and copyrighted a song titled “For All The Right Reasons” and my aged mother called me one day and said that she heard my song being done with a professional band. After listening to their version, I could tell that though a few phrases were very similar, the two songs were entirely different. You can’t copyright words & phrases; only entire documents and the only way to prove plagiarism is if the entire document is used in it’s original form. In other words, if they had used my entire song and changed only slightly a word here and there, that makes it an entirely different document. It is becoming a sad day when common words or phrases can be thought of as plagiarized………. I defy them to show me a copyright!
Notwithstanding, if we use direct quotes from a writer of an article or book, it is always a nice thing to site the work, but here again, if I change it slightly, they can never prove that I plagiarized their work.
Melania is one gorgeousl classy lady and will be an amazing first lady; she gave a beautiful heartfelt speech. I HATE THE LIBERAL MEDIA before this is what they do best, can they please just simply SHUT UP. Also disappointed with FOX giving the liberal media what they want by also talking about it all day long; we’ve got REAL issues America lets focus on them simply put, LETS MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, SAFE AGAIN, JOBS AGAIN and ONE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Norm MacDonald once said, “I’m a huge sports fan but have no interest in minutiae. I don’t remember who won Super Bowls five years ago or listen to sports talk radio.” I don’t think there’s a person out there who has not at one time in their life, in talking about how much they appreciate being an American,hasn’t raised those very same points. What motivational speaker hasn’t talked about limitless possibilities, perhaps Tony Robbins? I doubt that there’s a teacher out there who hasn’t used words either directly or similarly to those used by Mrs. Trump in order to inspire others to be the best that they can be–I think every politician who has ever run for public office has talked about the value of hard work, values, and keeping your word. Wasn’t it the title of Roger Moore’s book “my word is my bond”? What parent hasn’t told their children to have respect for others and treat people as you want to be treated. Wasn’t that the Bible? (It’s funny that no one has ever appeared to call out or spend an entire news cycle focused on how Obama has plagiarized and Mrs. Obama has specifically plagiarized from a known socialist/communist Sol Olinsky). Leave it to the liberal media to detract from yesterday’s message to Keep America Safe Again, to focus on the minutia. Instead of acknowledging Mrs. Trump’s courage, strength, inner beauty, poise, intelligence and obvious love of her husband, family and this country, they’ve shown their true colors, yet once again, by finding the needle in the haystack. Democrats can’t argue or defend their lack of action or bad action that they’ve taken, so they cannot respond to the amazing points raised in the speeches by countless congresspeople, former governors, heroes of Ben Ghazi, parents who lost loved ones at the hands of illegal aliens, nor the comments made by the police officer, yesterday. Since they can’t deal with the issues and the Obama-Clnton policies are incapable of Keeping America Safe, the Democrats, assisted by the spin doctors of the liberal media, choose to instead focus on a few lines of a speech given by Mrs. Trump. It’s funny to have people who live in glass houses throwing stones. (I guess I should mention that that’s not my original quote, but rather an idiom). When FBI director James Comey laid out an entire indictment against Hillary Clinton, the focus seemed to shift to whether or not what she did was intentional. Whoever and however the speech was written, we’re talking about a few lines. No one died in Ben Ghazi because of it. No one lied to Congress because of it. No national security was breached because of it either. As a Professor and Former Dean, if a student of mine were found to have plagiarized unintentionally, I would have them rewrite the paper. Even in the most severe us cases where deliberate intention is found, most students receive a reprimand in their student file and have to retake the course. What Mrs. Trump said in a few lines hardly matches up to what Hillary Clinton has done over the last 25 years. Let’s keep our eye on the ball America focus on the issues not the minutia.
IF she did not write this speech, in it’s entirety, herself than I would say YES. She was set up. This is not the first time someone close to Trump, someone he trusted, tried to sabotage his campaign.
Have you even considered this? If M.O. were confident in herself as a person and as a First Lady … perhaps she would be complimented that the upcoming First Lady would chose to use some of the same wording from her speech. I declare that it is the opposite and that M.O.’s words were not her own (but those of a speech writer only) and that it was difficult to even read the words of her speech. Could that be possible?
How refreshing, an authentic, beautiful, smart and articulate woman as our hopeful for First Lady. I would be so proud to have her in the position. It is to bad the democrats don’t have anything else to pick apart other than a few words in her speech. Move on, as the democrats prefer to do after one of their true wrong doings is uncovered…or covered up ! Move on!
MELANIA IS GORGEOUS AND SWEET AND MICHELLE CAN’T SHINE HER BEAUTIFUL SHOES!!! PLEASE, ANYONE WOULD SAY SIMILAR WORDS IN A SPEECH. GIVE ME A BREAK, THE MEDIA AND OTHERS ARE SO JEALOUS OF THE BOTH OF THEM (DONALD AND MELANIA). MR. TRUMP HAS A BIG JOB IN FRONT OF HIM AND BY GOD’S GRACE HE WILL PERSEVERE. EVERYTHING IS JUST CHILDS’ PLAY. KILLERY IS THE ONE WHO SHOULD STEP DOWN.
Come on, really, who cares, this site is all entertainment anyway. No matter who wins, half of the people will cry about it, the others will praise. After 4 years, there will be cries of foul and wait for the next four, it will get better. Never has. No matter who says what, it will be a lie to get votes and trick the people for a win. I will be glad when it is over and the cry babies will present themselves and will want a recount. This site is all Donnie and that is it. No one who reads this blog will be impressed to change their vote for DJT from HRC and his wife is most certainly not going to swing a vote for him either. All this site does is keep the HRC people strong as ever and dedicated to fight for the DNC….good grief……..just vote and please, don’t even try to get along.
Interesting. I hadn’t thought of it being a set up, but now it seems the most plausible explanation.
It seemed so very odd to me that anyone would even remember what Michelle had said years ago anyway.
I was not a Trump fan until I saw and heard from his family including Mrs. Trump. She has more class than Michelle and Hillary in her little pinky finger than those two have in this rather large bodies. All of these liberal post just put me on the TRUMP TRAIN. Liberals you should be ashamed of yourselves. However most not all just don’t have any class. Mrs. Trump is a class act and so are Trumps children. POWER TO THE REPUBLICANS,
GETR DONE.
what does Facebook mean? Your comments are awaiting moderation? There are vile comments in this long list of comments, mine is not!!!!!!!!
She did not I listened to parts they used as proof on MSN. I saw nothing she said many of my girl friends have not said. My daughter in law could have used those words. Why could she get in trouble. All she needs is a jury with normal American women. Not even a need to like her husband. I don’t. She would have my vote on this one. Knock off lying about them. I won’t vote for him because of him. He is too impulsive. I would not vote for H Clinton because she will want to pounce on this. Also both Clintons belong in Jail.
l agree with most all and what Robert Andas had to say they do have what it take and they don’t need our money, they have there on and earn it the had way. work hard and you will earn it.
Michelle Obama never said anything completely original either. neither has anyone else after the first few cave men learned to speak. Michelle has uttered nothing but hate speak since she was a little puppy.
Whoever wrote the speech for Mrs Trump hit the wright words to fit Donald Trump. They sure didn’t fit Obama then or now. Tell me one thing Obama was successful at except ruining the American economy and bring race relations to a record low. So all you nit pickers keep picking. She will be the most beautiful first lady ever and one that young people can look up to. I look forward to seeing her as First Lady!
Whether Melania’s speech writer set her up or not, I didn’t see any uniques about using the same words that Michelle Obama had used. Melania didn’t copy an author, song writer, or a novel writer. These words that have been used by Melania and Michelle have been used by many average people. We all use these expressions, there no special creativity, or uniques of using these words. Grow up American! While Trump using his time and money in effective way, doing business, Hillary is wasting her time and money on useless, stupid advertisements. All what Hillary’s doing is hiring violent criminals protesters to stop the unstoppable. It’s normal for illegal immigrants and terrorists to fear the powerful Trump. Hillary,Romney,Obama,and the Pope, create nothing but division,hatred, and violence. Push these minority leaders to the curve,before they pushing you! A man who can defeat his own enemies, can defeat the enemies of his country.Trump will be the president of the United States of America!
I worked in government for 30 years so I feel confident the plagiarizing was done on purpose. I have seen staff purposely insert statements in speeches to embarrass elected officials they hide a personal grudge against. The swiftness of the “discovery” of the stolen lines is even more of an indication of a mole in the organization. This is something Trump needs to be aware of with bureaucrats so it’s a plus for him to know early in the game. Doing it to his wife was to create maximum embarrassment for the candidate.
YES !!! See, if you can my comment below. For some reason the words still appear, “Awaiting moderation…”
Why, I do not know…But I laid out a possible ( to me a VERY likely) scenario as to “who” and “why”….
Regards,
David T. Krall
Your article above is VERY close to the mark….For months ( on my timeline of my Facebook page, I have discussed and written in detail how and why that whole and entire Bush/nec-con/CIA crowd that ( also like a DUPLICITOUS and large influential legion of the Roman Army which now has “its fires camped” near a similar neo-con of only a differing stripe–Hillary) that hates, despise and detest Trump for subverting and derailing the much presumed “almost 45’s”…JEB’s express train to the nomination just like RMN in 1960, 1968 ot GHWB aka “41” in 1988…The Donald thwarted their plans and gradually thru and during that campaign primary season that Bush neo-con hate had grown and grown to not just blue but a pure-white heated flame of pure hate.and total contempt .There was and is ABSOLUTELY no doub, to me, t that BOTH Bernie and Trump were ( and still are) the recipient of negative psy-op “campaign” …..Jeb had his meltdown, when he and his neo-con crowd were repeatedly OUTED, in public no less and on TV during debate and after debate and culminating with Jeb’s final Trump initiated and instigated melt-down and discombobulation during the North CarolinA debate which also was a major attempt stop trump with “43” and “41” with their wives and former first ladies present in the audience….Rarely, unanticipated and unexpected did a Presidential Candidate ever so OVERTLY attack and question, without such hesitation and with such ‘speeding train-in your face ” bluntness “OUT” JEB and his influetial criminal neo-con DEEP STATE associates ( all part of and linked to “41” and”43″ campaigns and WH’s) ) and their fraudulent attempts to start and wage “wars” and initiate MORE regime changes, something that Trump even pointed out !!! …NOT from pressures on Obama…or hoping a “different_neo-stripe” of Hillary would be as “resourceful” or “diligent” BUT from their own entitled perch and agenda as presumed to be from 1600 PA Avenue on 1/20/17, with JEB presumed to be taking the oath of office..:ALMOST 45, BUT NOT QUITE ….Only two words signify and show the hate and contempt for “Almost 45”, JEB remaining ALMOST in 2016: Donald Trump….From what I can see and tell,, some of the Jeb staff became part of the Cruz Staff …like moles & still maintaing ties and links to JEB and his team, just like in 1960, part of the LBJ’s staff were “working” for JFK/RFK and in 1980, GHWB’s staff would be “working” for Reagan…but all the while really moles and infiltrators…and we know what happened (JFK) and ;almost” happened (Reagan) latter…..Reports from MSM are that a Mathew Scully, a “professional speech writer” may have “:finalized” that speech given last night by Mrs. trump…and Guess who Mathew Scully once wrote speeches for? George W. And Cheney ( now like a snooping camel, sticking his nose under and inside the Trump “tent”- supposedly now “endorsing Trump–more like a neo-con “Trojan Horse”)….What a coincidence??? Part of the same duplicitous neo-con network that just about included all the very same VERY WELL-CONNECTED major players who were part of the TOP and MIDDLE TIER of JEB’s “ALMOST 45’s” 2016 campaign…I have long suspected that the long hand of this crowd who despises Trump would somehow “from afar” show “Its hand” in some way or manner…and last night may not be the last time we see such “reach” in trying to still wound Trump…
The first thing I thought was that whoever tried to make her look foolish or whatever their motive was, has a lot of nerve or is just plain stupid. Do they really think the Donald is just going to say “your fired”? He can ruin them forever if he wants.
To ALL posters, Mrs. Trump does not have balls……Michael Obama does….! The
How many of us have said the same exact message from our parents that have given us advice as we are growing up? Personaly,I have used the same context of the message as the beautiful, very well educated did. She was relaying her patents message to her. Have any of you heard this message from your parents? I certainly have and relayed to my kids and grandkids. Come on, this is the most idiocat thing I have ever seen in my 67 years. Get over it folks, it’s a common statement!! I do not believe there is anyone that factually owns these words. With the economic state of our country in the garbage, terrorists trying to kill us, the racial divide that I have not seen in the last 10 years, and no jobs and a mandatory health care system that is draining everyone and the government, I just find it utterly amazing that the media would blow all this so far out of range. UNBELIEVABLE!!
Melania Trump delivered an intelligent, heartfelt speech with elegance.
She is way too smart to plagiarize and embarrass herself and her husband.
Melania is innocent. Let’s move on!
Unbelievable. Don’t you people realize that this is the silly season where both parties will pick the stupidest little thing said or done by the other and make a big issue of it? Think about it, when was the last time you repeated something that had been told to you because it made sense? Probably at least 7 times a week. Don’t get wrapped around the axle yet, wait until the nominee’s start talking issues and policy.
I listened to supposed journalist jump all over Mrs. Trump for using some words or phrases used by Mrs. Obama and accused her of plagiarism do to her speech containing 2 phrase closely resembling or even copying something from Mrs. Obama’s 2008 speech. If those journalist consider that they were doing a credible job for their occupation when they key on a 30 second to 1 minute part of a 17 minute plus speech I hope their employers withhold their pay-checks because there are a lot more things going on in this country, this world for them to report on than that. I would be a pleasant surprise to have the Media report the News without the Liberal bias we have to listen to an a daily basis and they wonder why Mr. Trump is doing so well with the voting public it’s because of their inability to report the News without a bias. .
michele said a lot of things in that speech, like taking care of children ha,ha ha. STOP spending our tax payers money and GET a LIFE and do not travel on our expense…. Melania, you will have to exterminate the WH when you move in by the way……….JUDGiING by the size of her A– michele does not miss any meals!!!!!!!!
All it is JEALOUSY that is TOO bad michele You have no class whatsoever………..You were lucky Soros bought you the poresidency….
C’mon this is the biggest non story out there. To hear the talking heads you’d of thought she stole the Getteysburg Address! She seems like a very grounded and intelligent woman. I’d much rather see her in the WH as 1st lady the that walking erecting Bill Clinton.
Whether Mrs. Trump committed plagiarism or not, she joins our illustrious president and vice-president in doing so. Also, John F. Kennedy was given credit for saying, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country”…..it was taken from the speech of a previous president. I listened to what Michelle Obama had to say, as well as what Mrs. Trump said, and the words do not solely belong to either of them. Many people have expressed those sentiments before. So what is the fuss all about? Mrs. Trump did a fantastic job of expressing her feelings about her husband, and that is all we expected of her. The rest is rubbish!
Reading some of these comments I can only think that the dummycrats are being annoyed that we might get a real lady in the White House. They’ve been seeing that pair of Muslim know nothings there for so long they are against any improvement. You go Melania, good one.
what a fuss over a few words. The “enemy” must be dissecting every that she utters in order to catch her out, and make a big political deal out of nothing! But her speech writer should be fired.
Obviously:
A. Melania did not take from Obama’s speech herself. To do so would be ledicrous.
B. Speech writers for a potental first lady of the most powerful nation on Earth were not imbeciles. They knew what they were doing.
Therefore:
C. This was a hit job, intended to inflict maximum credibility damage to Melania, Donald, and the Trump campaign.
Thank God we live in America. If this had been ancient China, for instance, the speechwriter or writers that conspired to do this travesty to America would have been skinned alive and had their still writhing bodies dipped slowly in boiling water.
God bless America for our modernity.
Here’s the weirdest thing. This morning Mr. Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager, proclaimed that the fault of Melania’s plagiarism was Hillary Clinton and that Hillary will do anything to get back an any woman that in some way “supercedes” or maligns her. He said that Melania’s speech writer used Ms. Obama’s speech as a reference to write parts of Melania’s speech and that this particular writer previously worked for Hillary Clinton. The speech writer’s first name was Sarah but I didn’t catch the last. I mentioned it to my boss and he wanted a copy of the article but when I went searching for the article it was no where to be found. I must of Googled and searched for 1/2 the day but could not locate. Hmm, almost like it was removed from the Internet. If Ms. Trump’s speech was different by even one word, it is considered not plagiarism.
Why don’t you look at OBama speech where he did the same! Get over it! The DenMocrats are scared that Hilary is going to lose to Trump so they are knit picking!
Amen.
Can any of you explain to me how being a nude model is super classy?
And as for her immigrant hating husband, he must hate her freaking guts. Her awesome accent must make him sick!
Anyone who supports these hypocrits is a hypocrit themselves.
Our current First Lady is smart, educated, and classy as hell and she stands by her man. They are the definition of strong, beautiful love.
The majority of you posters have a lot of unjustified hate in your heart for people that don’t look like you or come from the same place as you. That is not what this world should be about but sadly that is how it’s always been.
When will you guys learn that there is never going to be a saving grace president. You will always find reasons to dislike a president. I guarantee that if Trump gets elected, he will make many mistakes. I will be stunned if you bash him as badly as you do to Michelle and Obama when that time comes.
A lot of you need to look in the mirror and ask yourself if you’re filling this world with love or hate? Are your actions making this world a better place for everyone? You That will always override the importance of who’s going to be your president. Black or white, democrat or republican.
They can’t give you a better life. Only you can do that. And once you help yourself, then you should help others.
