Trump claims he surrounds himself with the best people and the fact that he can't get a quality speech writer for his wife should mean something to all of us. How did he and his campaign allow this to happen? It IS a big deal.
Agreed.
This is just another example of the contempt that Trump has for the process, the office and for his supporters.
Yeah, the part about her parents teaching her values of hard work. The same words spoken to me on many occasions. I really doubt they would intentionally plagiarize a Michelle Obama speech knowing this is what the media would do. The content is boilerplate language that probably pops up in many speeches. I bet if you reviewed a hundred graduation speeches, you would find quite a few with this language.
No dear, most kids are smarter than the Trump campaign and run their papers though a plagiarism check website before making themselves look like fools.
But I don't blame Milania for this, I don't think she wrote any of the speech, I think someone in the Trump campaign wrote this and my guess is that whoever did it is trying to sabotage his campaign, he would do well to get a food taster after this.
When I saw the "Breaking News" banner on MSNBC, along with the puke-pusses of Lyin' Brian (oh, the irony) and Rachel Madcow, I thought someone died.
In any event, all one has to do is run the offending passages by "Crazy Joe" Biden--he should know. Plagiarism hasn't hurt his political career.
*Sigh* Great day, kill me now.
Agree! I am so sick and tired of the media sensationalizing every ridiculous sentence anyone speaks rather than REALLY stick to issues. There is no such thing as journalism anymore, the media is running and ruining this country along with the dynasties that pay them.
Her "plagiarism" were common words. Let's have some REAL intellect in the media besides the circus it now is running.

Her plagiarism was plagiarism.
Period.
Whether it's a REAL issue or not is a matter of opinion.

"Common words."
Right. Common words...verbatim, in the same order and with almost the same speech inflections for at least 30 seconds?! Even if I had the exact same thought process as another person, we still would not be able to formulate 30 seconds of the same speech independently of one another.
Trump and Maleficent must have some kind of dark magic if you all really believe that.

#1) Sheer incompetence. There's no way that someone in the campaign didn't realize this was lifted from Michelle O's speech. There's just no way, even if it was just a young inexperienced speechwriter.
#2) Sabotage by a rogue staffer.
#3) Intentional sabotage by Trump himself. This, along with his infinite amount of other scandals and gaffs, fits right in with my theory that I've had all along that Trump's whole presidential campaign from the start was nothing more than a publicity stunt that went awry and accidentally succeeded, and he is now doing everything possible to make sure he loses in Nov.
#4) An intentional albeit misguided attempt to dominate the news cycle tomorrow, believing that no publicity is bad publicity.
Any one of these I believe are EQUALLY plausible. Personally, my money's on #3.
yep, I'm thinking maybe it's #2 and Trump should hire a food taster ASAP
