WATCH: Donald Trump’s wife Melania blatantly plagiarises an old speech given by Michelle Obama

Paul Moore

Oh dear.

Melania Trump gave a speech to the Republican National Convention but large parts of it have blatantly plagarised a similar one that Michelle Obama gave at the Democratic National Convention in 2008.

Donald Trump’s wife also talked about other areas during her speech, immigration to the US and the love that she has for her husband being the major topics, but there’s no denying that large parts of her speech were lifted from a similar address that was given by the current The First Lady eight years ago.

Side-by-side comparisons have been circulating on the internet and here’s one for you to look at.

The content is uncanny.

The Republican Party released a statement on her speech but failed to highlight the issue of plagiarism.
