First Lady Melania Trump will give a speech during tonight’s Republican National Convention and she wants everyone to know it will not be plagiarized this time.
As you may recall, Mrs. Trump lifted, word-for-word, several lines from the speech Mrs. Obama delivered at the Democratic National Convention in 2008. And she may have gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for, you know, people’s memories.
Melania was dragged in the press and on Twitter for plagiarizing the speech. Trump staff writer Meredith McIver later accepted blame for the incident, saying she felt “terrible” and that she never meant to cause any harm. Melania herself never apologized.
Well, this year, Melania says “every word” of her speech will be her own.
How about we take this to the next level?

Speaking to reporters, Stephanie Grisham, the first lady’s spokesperson, assured people that Melania is not a copycat.
“I think that it’s been very, very clear that over the last three and a half years, Mrs. Trump has done nothing but learn and grow in this role and she’s been doing a fantastic job at that,” Grisham said.
“We have been working really hard the last three weeks. I can tell you that every word in the speech is from her. It’s very authentic and it’s going to come from the heart.”
Mrs. Trump’s address will be delivered from the recently-renovated White House Rose Garden before what the Trump campaign says will be a “small audience.”

Grisham went on to say Melania’s speech will be one of her longest addresses ever, and that it will be “positive and uplifting,” much like her failed #BeBest anti-bullying initiative.
“I would say it’s very forward-looking,” Grisham said. “She definitely lays out some of the things she wants to do with Be Best in the next four years.”
If it’s anything like the last four years, it shouldn’t be much.

The problem is, Melania stated, ON CAMERA, that she wrote her speech “All by herself”. So even with the staff writer lying and trying to take blame, it doesn’t change anything. Melania still lied, just like she lied about graduating from college, etc. At BEST she is a liar trying to take credit for another’s work, or, more likely, she is a liar, and a plagiarist who is so stupid she couldn’t even figure out that people would recognize Michelle Obama’s speech.

What would BE BEST is if she convinced her husband and his VP to resign immediately, submit to all grand jury depositions that are or will be waiting for them, go to trial, get convicted of their numerous crimes like so many of Don the Con’s associates, and then disappear into the darkness of whatever prison they were sent to. That would BE BEST and she could probably accomplish that with far less effort than she devotes to staying married to and dealing with treasonous “liar,” as his own sister rightly labeled him, Donny Two Scoops!

That’s a big glass house to be throwing stones in. Back in 1987, Joe Biden dropped out of the Presidential race after it was revealed that he had taken a speech of British politician Neil Kinnock, and, with little modification, had portrayed Kinnock’s family history and circumstances as his own. Apparently he or his speechwriters never learn that people outside the US pay attention to American politics and will point out such transgressions, because he is now accused of copying portions of his DNC acceptance speech just last week from the farewell message of Canadian politician Jack Layton.
