Looks like Melania Trump is a copycat!

Many people have been quick to point out that the Donald’s third wife’s speech at the RNC last night in Ohio was pretty much copied from Michelle Obama’s DNC speech back in 2008.

Last night , the Slovenian native said:
    “My parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise; that you treat people with respect. We want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.”

Meanwhile, FLOTUS’ speech in 2008 had much of the same verbiage, and all of the same sentiment:

    And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: That you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say you're going to do; that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don't know them, and even if you don't agree with them.

    And Barack and I set out to build lives guided by these values, and pass them on to the next generation. Because we want our children -- and all children in this nation -- to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.

Interestingly enough, before the speech, Melanie apparently told a reported that she’d written the speech herself, but that she’d had “a little bit of help.”

Of course — it looks like she had a LOT of help, namely that a woman far greater than herself had given her the road map of what to say!

Despite all the controversy after her speech last night, Melania boasted to Matt Lauer today that she’d had very little help on the speech.

“I read once over it and that’s all because I wrote it with [as] little help as possible,” bragged the 46-year-old.
Well maybe she should have read it TWICE over (seeing as how this was for the RNC!)

On Tuesday, Trump’s campaign released a statement defending the the Trump campaign released a statement on Tuesday, July 19, to defend Melania’s speech.


“In writing her beautiful speech, Melania’s team of writers took notes on her life’s inspirations, and in some instances included fragments that reflected her own thinking. Melania’s immigrant experience and love for America shone through in her speech, which made it such a success.”

Yeah -- the fact that she plagiarized it did too!

Needless to say her hubby was quick to praise his wife, writing on Twitter, “It was truly an honor to introduce my wife, Melania. Her speech and demeanor were absolutely incredible. Very proud! #GOPConvention.”
