Melania Trump Plagiarises Michelle Obama’s Speech & claims she wrote it

Melania Trump gave her speech at the Republican Convention and moments later, a Twitter user Jarret Hill has pointed out that it was too similar to Michelle Obama’s speech at the 2008 Democratic Convention.

People dug up the speech, transcribed/watched and found that parts of it were stolen from Obama, and all hell was let loose.

See both speeches as culled by Vox.

Melania Trump’s speech:

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. They taught me to show the values and morals in my daily life. That is the lesson that I continue to pass along to our son.

And we need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow. [Cheering] Because 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.

Michelle Obama’s speech in 2008:

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.

What makes the matter worse is that Melania Trump told CNN that she had been working with a speechwriter “for the last five to six weeks, honing her speech.” And then she said this to NBC’s Matt Lauer:

“I wrote it…with a little help as possible.”

Well, the whole of United States is out on social media, sharing opinions over the obvious plagiarism, while waiting for an explanation from the Trump camp.
