melania's guilt really is in claiming that she wrote almost all of her speech herself...when evidently she didn't and had no idea that there were michelle obama lines in it...

by most accounts she didn't even want to do her speech...her husband forced it on her...

it has also come to light that melania trump has been lying about her education...she claims to have a degree in architecture from a slovenian university...but according to her biographers she was a first year dropout and never returned to school...and that it was her husband donald trump who told her to start claiming to be a university graduate...

apparently donald trump decided that melania wasn't good enough as she was and that she needed to lie in order to make her fit into a certain ideal in public...

it makes me wonder what else about the trump family public image is a fabrication...and reminds me a lot of obama's suspiciously sanitized biography that was presented to the public...

i really feel bad for melania now...being obligated to continually lie for your husband's sake is the stuff of abusive relationships...

The powerful man/husband abusing the helpless woman/wife?
I doubt it's that simple.

Nobody made a big deal about it when Obama on multiple occasions lifted someone else's words. Why the double standard? Besides, does Mrs. Obama have a patent on hard work, respect and words such as that?

Deflection.

while mostly i find this particular situation sad and i feel bad for melania trump...the one thing i do find amusing is that the part of the speech about having to do hard work and show respect was someone else's work and the writer didn't have the respect to give credit to the original source...

Did she write the speech herself or did someone write It for her?

see my analysis earlier in this thread...i think someone wrote it for her and in fact maliciously set her up for this humiliation...a truly sleazy and mean thing to do...

to move forward...

i have noticed that this commotion over a couple of paragraphs has taken attention away from the entire rest of melania trump's speech...her voice has been drowned out by the controversy...

to give her the courtesy of people actually getting her whole message instead of just focusing on a small controversial bit at the expense of the rest...here is the full speech...

This is unfair. I can't make you respond to the posts I've written in response to Hillary's corruption. My posts in opposition will go unnoticed as any wrong deeds Trump does seems to go unnoticed by you as well...

I've stated my opinion and outrage over Hillary Clinton's actions of hiring the people who helped her delete the emails and evidence from her private server as her attorneys so that they cannot be be called in court to testify. I've condemned her lack of action that got American soldiers killed. I've condemned her husband's trade treaty that they paraded as awesome. I've condemned her decision to invade Iraq. I've said all this within the threads of the News forum. Your unwillingness to read them does not equate to my unwillingness to call a spade a spade with Hillary Clinton.

I haven't seen your anti-Clinton threads. If this is true then I apologize. It means you're a stand up guy.

But, but, but .... I thought Obama was a "Muslim". He wouldn't pay any attention to a Christian professing preacher if he was!

An anti-American Muslim listening to the likes of Jeremiah Wright. Who'd a thunk? Did our Muslim-in-Chief ever pick a congregation to attend since taking office? I don't remember?

Well, it seems to be out now. Looks like Ms. Trump wrote that part in because she admired Ms. Obama, among others, and the speech overseer didn't check it. Kind of lame, I think, but the Trump family has excused her, saying she made a mistake, and they won't fire her for that.

Yeah, but it DOES point out that the whole Trump machine is lacking in professional accuracy. He cannot afford stupid mistakes like that if he happens to get elected.... which, as I have said before, is not too great a likelihood. He's the better choice, but Hillary has the numbers behind her.
