I'm already sick of hearing about how brilliant and sophisticated Melania Trump is. As far as I know, she dropped out of college after her freshman year to become a model, and that was pretty much the end of her education.
As far as the plagiarized speech goes, I wouldn't be surprised if the plagiarizer-in-chief was Donald Trump himself.

No, I hate to disappoint you but it was a safe member who took the liberty of borrowing a few phases. Even Fox new thought the speech was not reviewed enough. Again many have borrowed other peoples speeches (Deval & Obama Speech)
But all of hub bub is over when we use Obama and Uncle Joe creative liberties.
It really doesn't matter. Melania could get up there and rip off the whole Gettysburg Address while Trump announces that he's the Grand Dragon who will set up concentration camps for foreigners - conservatives would always defend it.
Actually, most of us don't really care, since she isn't the one running for office. However, since you brought up "hypocrisy" what about the Republicans who, for the past 7 years, have disrespected President Obama and the First Lady? Think about it. Barack and Michelle were college sweethearts who both graduated Harvard Law, got married and raised a family. Now look at the man they just nominated. It's not just hypocrisy, it's shameful and outright bigotry.
You got it wrong. They were never college sweethearts, they met at a law firm.
Teachers & academics in the UK & the US have taken to twitter to thank Donald Trumps wife for providing the perfect material to teach their students what plagiarism is & why it is wrong.
Was Fat Michelle a speech? Can you link me? I'm not familiar with a speech titled Fat Michelle.
Michelle Obama's speech came from the heart, Melania's speech? well let's just say that although Mrs Trump may be good looking, she has the charisma of a brick wall.
To be fair, I honestly doubt Trump's wife wrote her speech. I thought her delivery was excellent. What really impressed me was her good memorization. She never tripped up once, and that's pretty hard to do when English isn't a person's first language.
And I'm pretty sure there's some speech writer out in the alley somewhere, still trying to get back on his feet after the thumping he got.
Its very common for speech writers to use someone else's effective speech of the past. The trick is to re-phrase all the best parts carefully enough to avoid plagiarizing. More than one sad politician has had his ship broken in half on those rocks.
And I doubt Mrs. Trump will be seen much after this. She was already reluctant to go on stage earlier, and I'll bet she's even more so now.
Oh I certainly hope folks on this thread aren't under the impression that Melania stayed up nights writing a speech the way someone in high school would, trying to get their best friend elected student body president. If anyone thinks that then bless their heart! Of course there was a ghost writer. The question is whether the writer plagiarized, either thinking nobody would notice or people do not care. The more I read of these threads the more I doubt there is a speech writer out in the alley (as you put it) licking his/her wounds. Another poster used the term "unmitigated gall" 100 plus posts ago and that is now my favorite description ever! Trump and his team simply DO NOT CARE if they lift a speech from Michelle Obama, Winston Churchill, or Kermit the Frog.
