Melania Trump Plagiarized Her Convention Speech From Michelle Obama

[Doc Savage Fan]

I agree that is a particularly pathetic attempt to equate the two, right? I can only assume that's what you were laughing at, haha.

I found it funny. WTF is your problem? You take this shit way too seriously.

 

[openwheel]

LOL Obama also plagiarized his birth certificate. Remember that?

Funny how desperately Artdeco wants to paint Obama as a plagiarizer with one similar sentence, but dismisses Melania's paragraphs.

When is The Donald going to show us all the proof he found?

I don't have a problem at all! I have to ask though, why are you so instantly aggrieved and offended? You seem to be taking this shit way too seriously, haha.

The truly frightening thing is he can pull those polling numbers against Hillary while in full on dumpster fire mode.

It actually is interesting. Shows that people aren't too excited for a Hillary presidency obviously. And that money is having less of an impact (so far) than it has in past election cycles (I think).

 

[LegendKiller]

lol, one similar sentence as compared to whole nearly identical paragraphs. Not even remotely close. Color me completely shocked that you showed up to defend this. This is turning into a fun game where I'm trying to see if there is any shitty behavior by Trump you won't defend.

By the way are you enjoying the convention so far? The sheer incompetence at every level is pretty funny to me. Isn't it funny that this clown can't even seem to stage a few day event correctly?

You mean one similar paragraph full of motivational poster platitudes that speech writers have been using for decades? Just words...

It is frightening for sure, but not surprising. There are a ton of open bigots and closet bigots in this great nation. Most of them vote straight red ballot, even if the name is Donald Trump. If Trump picked Honey Boo Boo as running mate he would get even more votes.

 

[Jaskalas]

Explain why her speech lines up line for line with Michelle's.

Fox says it's one paragraph. Is it the whole speech or not?

 

[fskimospy]

That and Michelle's are just as similar as Michelle's and Melania's and just as similar as every motivational poster in every office of America that features a lighthouse mountain.

They are not even remotely close. One is a single similar sentence and the other is an entire paragraph copied almost verbatim. Only one of those would get you a failing grade for plagiarism in college, guess which one?

Just admit she (or one of her speechwriters) stole that part from someone else's speech and then lied about it repeatedly. Why is that so hard to do? I mean surely you aren't disputing that the campaign has now repeatedly lied about the issue, right?

Oh also it looks like Trump's campaign has been lying about her having a college degree as well. That's pretty funny too, no? haha.

This is the most interesting POTUS election we've had in a long while.

I'll wait.

She's so smart and she knows all those languages but used someone else's speech. Super tacky. But this is who some of you want as your first lady so...




I guess you forgot where Michelle comes from. "Word is bond" is a very urban phrase and its been used in Hip Hop probably a gazillion times. Trump's wife has ZERO credibility here.

Ugh... read my other posts. I was commenting specifically about your comment that she couldn't have heard the phrase before. I remember interviewing my uncle, a white, 50 year old banker, for a business ethics class in the 90's. He used the phrase "your word is your bond"; I don't think he was a Wu Tang fan, although I could be wrong.

Fox is covering? Up to now they ignored it. Maybe they made all their phone calls to the Trump people to coordinate their stories.

Yup decades

The campaign manager Donald Trump fired last month, Corey Lewandowski, says the person responsible for writing Melania Trump's campaign speech should be fired.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Fox says it's one paragraph. Is it the whole speech or not?

The motivational part of the speech, not the entire thing but the important part.

 

[Subyman]

Seriously, even Corey Lewandowski says it's plagiarism.

I'm not aggrieved or offended...just amazed at just how combative you can be over me finding a little humor in the irony of it all. You have issues....but we've known that for quite a while now.

It also shows the level of disgust that many have with the typical BS that goes on in DC. I know a few people that support Trump and they are nothing even close to bigots; what they are is so utterly fed up with establishment politics that they think Trump is their only option to shake things up.

I've referred to the republican establishment as 'the stupid part' several times on here, and for good reason. If they had fronted a DECENT candidate, Hillary would be toast. Hillary is a thoroughly repulsive human. She's every bit as much a sociopath as Trump. She can look you in the eye and lie; even Bill didn't have that talent. She has no personality to speak of and she's so cold, she could freeze a polar bear. All Hillary has to offer is 'vote for me!!! I has a vaj!!'

But hey, wth. Rah for my team!!

The irony of repubs applauding a stilted delivery of Michelle's inspirational words?

Thank you for your internet diagnosis, Doc Savage Fan, IMD! Can you internet check out this mole on my arm? Just want to make sure everything's ok with it.

It's pretty obvious you took immediate offense to someone poking even a little fun at you. Lighten up!

 

[soundforbjt]

What's really funny is that speech writer is now working for Hillary.

I see tons of irony here. But that too.

 

[Thebobo]

She speaks 5 languages, has been in the US for 20 years, and has been married to a business man for 10. There's no way she could know the phrase?

Speaks 5 languages? Seriously? I can say a couple words in 5 different languages that should count with the way the Trumps think.

 

[openwheel]

I got some relatives who are hardcore republicans, and they always make fun of people with thick accents. I wonder what they were saying last night....

- Go back to "Russia", we speak "American" over here.
- You come to my country, you better speak INNGLISH!!!

CBS reports that she's fluent in Slovenian, Serbian, French, German, and English.

Yes, seriously.

No...that shows the way you think. Project much?
