Melania Trump has been accused of plagiarising a speech written for First Lady Michelle Obama.
Donald’s wife Melania was speaking at the Republican National Convention and was widely praised by the media for delivering a rousing speech.
But she appears to have lifted at least one crucial section of her speech from the one Michelle Obama gave at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
They do look eerily similar:
Trump: My parents impressed on me the values…
Obama: …like: you work hard for what you want in life…
Trump: …that you work hard for what you want in life.
Obama: …that your word is your bond, that you do what you say you’re gonna do…
Trump: …that your word is your bond, and you do what you say…
Obama: …that you treat people with dignity and respect…
Trump: …that you treat people with respect…
Obama: …because we want our children and all children in this nation to know…
Trump: …because we want our children in this nation to know…
Obama: …the only limits on the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams…
Trump: …that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams…
Obama: …and your willingness to work hard for them.
Trump: …and your willingness to work for them.
