  • Did Melania plagiarize the FLOTUS prior speech

    Posted by 100574 on July 18, 2016 at 9:38 pm

    She said she wrote it with as little help as possible but the verbatim similarities tell the truth
    now we have to wonder would we have a foreign born first lady who could potentially be a spy for eastern block countries/Russia given his love for Putin
    and what a weak idiot Trump looks like that he is so pathetic that he cannot have competent staff to know not to copy a speech…no wonder there are bi-coastal Trump University fraud cases( some of the documents in the court case I believed claim course work was lifted from other people…”sticky fingers Trumps”

        She told Matt Laur she wrote it herself.  Yet it sounded awfully familiar. Sure enough.

        so when will we see cries for Melania to be put in jail for copying a speech( she said she wrote most of it)..the GOP always says this about HRC

          David Corn is like maybe she looked at Michelle Obama speech for inspiration..a GOP nominee’s wife looking to the Obamas for inspiration..that speaks volumes

            She also rickrolled everyone:

            He will never ever give up. And most importantly, he will never ever let you down

                Melania is not running. That she took inspiration from Michelle is a good thing. I am not worried or upset about any “plagarism” in this case, it’s all good.
                 
                Trump is the issue & what Trump says and twits is important.

                  There’s word for word comparison videos being posted.  What else would that be other than plagiarism?  That’s sure be a great examples for the youth of america.  Sure kids copy that homework.  Maybe Slovenian keyboards only have three keys, ctrl, c and v.

                    I thought they should have played Led Zeppelins Immigrant song when Melanie came out

                      Not looking good. Paul Manafort threw her under the bus this morning. Also reports she was upset about Pence selection. Reports are he did not really want him and she supported Donald but his kids pressured.  This is why she did not attend the VP announcement. Does not help the candidate when the wife gets dragged into it this way, especially one that up to this point was not all that visible. She did do a good job on the speech despite the origin of it.

                      it seems pretty obvious her and Donald were a love match right from the beginning (or maybe he really swinging a big bat).  I saw someone else point out that she said they were together for 18 years, but Donald’s only been divorced from Marla for 17 years.

                      She could have just said she was very inspired by Michelle Obama, agree with what she said 8 years ago, and just move on. Oh boy now it is messy!!

                      All she really had to do is just Stand up there and smile and most people would say she did great.
                       
                      Stealing a speech just goes to show you how Dumb the Trump Family thinks the American public really is

                      I think it at least shows that some research was done and people took inspiration from books, whereas the Melania was just straight up lifted from Michelle Obama’s speech.  The thing that I don’t get is it’s so stupid that it’s almost like they planned it.

                      Still…SOMEONE probably screwed up, or quite conceivably planned it. Again, Trump is arrogant, but not stupid. No one in that operation would deliberately plagiarize from their usual target. The whole point should be to contrast the two ladies.
                       
                      Nah, I smell a rat. And I’m disappointed that Trump fell for it. Betcha it won’t happen again.

                      Actually it is probably good… otherwise it would be the dreck from Chachi or underwear model Sabato…or the pathetic attempt to politicize Benghazi again…Better for Trump that they are talking about the plagiarism

                      With weekly mass murders, civilians being killed by police, and police being killed by civilians ……..it’s pretty amazing that Melania’s speech is such an important issue to you all.  With all of Hillary’s issues you stuck your head in the sand and said “nothing to see here”.  Why don’t we open up an investigation and put Melania in front of congress and the FBI. So I guess somehow Melania’s speech has a negative reflection on Donald.  Bill Clinton is a lying adulterer.  Hillary is a pathetic liar.  Nobody is perfect.

A very crooked couple has been exposed..now pay the taxes on that DC hotel you are building and get ready for your bi-coastal Trump university fraud cases..Karma it’s a B

                      With weekly mass murders, civilians being killed by police, and police being killed by civilians ……..it’s pretty amazing that Melania’s speech is such an important issue to you all.  With all of Hillary’s issues you stuck your head in the sand and said “nothing to see here”.  Why don’t we open up an investigation and put Melania in front of congress and the FBI. So I guess somehow Melania’s speech has a negative reflection on Donald.  Bill Clinton is a lying adulterer.  Hillary is a pathetic liar.  Nobody is perfect.

                      The “Republican voter” meme is a complete fabrication. Trump never said it. And Melania’s elocution is perfectly understandable; moreover, she makes far more sense than some posters around here who vomit forth word salad with every post. The only liars in this game are Shrillary the Criminal and anyone who tells themselves her behavior doesn’t matter.

                      If Hillary would have done this

                      The republicans would spend a billion dollars in our tax money investigating this

                      Trump and his family are disgusting silver spoon lying pieces of sheet

                      His sole purpose for running is to save his dying real Estate holdings and enrich his entitled kids

                      You suckers are buying it hook line and sinker

                      But it doesn’t matter. He is going to lose

                      the article on Melaria written by a jewish American female who received hate male after reported that Melaria’s dad looks and sounds like The Donald 

                      Quote from DICOM_Dan

                      it seems pretty obvious her and Donald were a love match right from the beginning (or maybe he really swinging a big bat).  I saw someone else point out that she said they were together for 18 years, but Donald’s only been divorced from Marla for 17 years.

                      Megan McArdle: [url=http://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-07-19/melania-trump-s-plagiarism-confirms-your-fears\]Melania Trump’s Plagiarism Confirms Your Fears[/url]

                      This is all of a piece with the way the Trump campaign has been run — disorganized and understaffed. A team of those establishment insiders that Trump so likes to revile would probably have caught this and fixed it. Instead, his wife was humiliated in her first major speech.

                      For further evidence of that incompetence, note how the campaign has compounded this error by refusing to simply admit what happened and move on. Melania Trump is not running for president, and she probably didnt write the speech. To be sure, she made the spin control more difficult by giving a television interview that suggested she had. But any marginally competent campaign would have said A campaign staffer contributed several lines to her speech; those lines appear to have been plagiarized; and now that person is an ex-campaign-staffer. Thats a boring story, and the media would have noted it and moved on.

                      Instead, the Trumps pushed the unlikely line that this was simply a surprising coincidence. Since journalists know just how unlikely that is, they are going to keep talking about it. Which costs Donald Trump a day of the convention coverage that is supposed to be giving him a badly needed boost in the polls.  This convention was supposed to be the event that established Donald Trump as someone who had what it takes to win the presidency, and to serve in that most demanding of offices. So far, it has only established him as someone who doesnt really understand what it takes to do either job.

    Officials in Florida have opened an investigation into Melania Trump selling tickets to an April high tea, to benefit an initiative of her Be Best effort called Fostering the Future.”
     
    However, no charity with the name Fostering the Future or Be Best has been registered in Florida.

      The jokester who programs the portable electronic signs along the highway telling you about things like planned road closures or just admonishes you to slow down put up ‘be best and don’t speed’ a few months ago. Nails on a chalkboard comes to mind.

          [h1][b] Melania Trump Bought Her Own NFT [/b][/h1]  
          [link=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-02-16/who-won-the-melania-trump-nft-auction-trump-crypto-wallet-linked-to-185k-funds]Bloomberg[/link]: A series of blockchain transactions show that the cryptocurrency used to purchase Trumps nonfungible token came from a wallet that belongs to the entity that originally listed the project for sale.

          Transactions reviewed by Bloomberg News show that on Jan. 23, the digital wallet listed as the creator of Trumps NFT transferred 372,657 USDC, a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar, to a second wallet that later sent 1,800 SOL to a third address. That third one is listed as the winner of the auction on Trumps website.
           
          On Jan. 27, the original wallet sent 1,800 SOL back to the second wallet address, according to blockchain transactions. The record of transactions was earlier reported by Vice.
