Melania Trump made herself the butt of the joke during last night’s Republican National Convention. It’s quite strange since her husband Donald Trump usually makes headlines for practically everything that flies out his mouth. But not this time!
Melania is under fire from all angles for delivering a speech similar to First Lady Michelle Obama‘s 2008 Democratic convention speech.
The New York Times cited a transcript of Mrs. Trump’s speech and compared it with Michelle’s 2008 speech:
Mrs Trump, Monday night:
“From a young age, 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 and showed me values and morals in their daily lives. That is a lesson that I continue to pass along to our son. And we need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow. 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.”
Mrs. Obama, in her 2008 speech:
“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 are you guys thoughts on this? Did Melania f**k up? Or should her speechwriter take responsibility for this?
