To be fair, it was a very good speech.
Despite Melania Trump’s best attempt to blatantly plagarise articulate her love for her husband and America, the reality is that it probably won’t sway the majority of Donald Trump fans into changing their voting allegiances.
To the rest of the world, it was fairly ironic thought that a speech that incorporated statements like “you work hard for what you want in life,” and “your word is your bond,” was a direct copy and paste job from somebody else’s work.

The original speech that was made by Michelle Obama occurred in 2008 at the Democratic National Convention and The First Lady gave a similar speech four years later when she invoked the future of her own children to endorse the case for her husband’s re-election.
That speech helped Barack Obama defeat the Republican candidate at the time, Mitt Romney, and it clearly struck a chord with the current Republican nominee Donald Trump.
Maybe Trump liked Michelle Obama’s rhetoric so much that he asked his wife to repeat her words exactly imitate her in the best way possible?
Very good speech by @MichelleObama–and under great pressure–Dems should be proud!
