    Wow, even if it was going to be a terrible speech I thought she had a good excuse of not being a politician and just being a supportive spouse. This was supposed to be a low risk, high reward situation.

    But this Trump campaign keeps finding ways to surprise me again and again. It's hilarious and sad at the same time.

    bingo!

    The liberals are scared and they're looking everywhere to find irrelevant things to demonize Trump's campaign.

    Trump's own campaign takes care of that themselves.

    So Trump's squeeze stole Michele Obamas speech - the Trumps have no class at all.

    I've been manipulated by actually listening to Trump's own words.

    LOL......that says NOTHING. This isn't going away until someone acknowledges the **** up. But this is Trump. He won't admit a mistake.

    But why? Lol

    They couldn't even try to copy a older speech? I mean seriously ... a 2012 speech from Michelle Obama, that's just too funny.

    "ncluded fragments that reflected her own thinking."

    This is the part where the Trump campaign basically admits that the relevant parts of the speech ("fragments that reflected her own thinking") was in fact plagiarized.

    What they are saying is that Michelle's words reflected Melania's thinking, so the speechwriter(s) lifted them.

    Classic response by the Trump campaign about the plagiarism.

    Come on man. You can at least laugh at stuff like this. No need to be so defensive about every single thing.

    Hey, let's play a game.

    Let's hear your rendition of what a Trump supporter would sound like if a Democrat's spouse plagiarized the speech of a republican's spouse to this degree during a convention speech.

    Because I am pretty sure it wouldn't be "oh, no one cares about this except the worldwide femanazi islamic marxist media cuckspiracy." I am pretty sure you would all the sudden develop a sense of humor for the first time in your life, laugh your butt off at the ridiculous incompetency, and politicize it like partisans from both sides try to politicize everything they can.
