She’s getting a little long in tooth, so he’ll be trading her in anyway for a newer model soon.

Yep. She wrote it herself. It’s her speech. Hers. All hers. And by the way, she totally could’ve gotten anyone for that speech, but she chose those speechwri-eerrrr…

Honestly, a Trump says ‘I wrote it myself’ and anyone buys it? Hah.

If her commencement speech at CCNY the other day is any indication, I fully expect she will take aim at Trump (if not Melania – I’m sure they follow their own word that fam is off limit).

I think they just don’t care! Remember when Mr. Trump famously remarked that he could shoot someone and his supporters wouldn’t care? I think he’s convinced that he can just blow through any flub through sheer bravado. I also have the feeling that his entire campaign is simply an extended work of performance art.

But her nipples will still be standing up when she’s 70 and falling asleep in the lounger.

But does it really matter? As our objective and unbiased mainstream media types with fall over themselves to point out the important thing is that Mrs. Knauss-Trump is the sort of down-home, all-American gal you’d want to invite over for a hooternanny!

You know given the complete lack of respect Republicans’ have for musicians’ intellectual property rights, as was show cased once more tonight by Trump using Queen’s We are the Champion despite having previously been told not to, it really shouldn’t be suprising that his campaign’s speech writers would stoop to plagerism.

Melania’s speech was plagiarized? Fire the speech writer (Michele Obama)!

MELANIA TRUMP lifted the speech.Josh Marshall’s rule of DERP. I really think it was her or Trump family memeber.

I was afraid of that too but at least on MSNBC they are going after her and the campaign hard, stronger than anything I expected.
I haven’t any anti nausea medication to try CNN so I have no idea what they are saying.

Who’s crooked now? Who’s lying now? Ha.

Yep, even Michael Steele thinks it’s a disaster. And I just love that Joy Reid was quick to point out that no one knows who lifted that speech from Michelle Obama, that Melania is a grown woman and capable of having plagiarized it herself. She also reminded everyone that Melania herself claimed to have written it by herself.

I’m waiting for her to claim that she would never plagiarize. However look at how she and her Trumpette followers treated Julie Ioffe after a fairly mundane GQ profile.

Reminds me of a Larson cartoon.

I also loved how they made it clear that they NEVER would’ve given a pass to Mrs. Obama had she done it.

So I’m going to give her a brake on this one …

No, sorry, I disagree. First, she claimed to have written it herself – heck, she didn’t even have to rehearse because she knew it so well from having written it. We may all have been pretty confident that was a lie, but there’s no escaping it now.

Second, they’re pitching her husband as someone who will surround himself with all the best people – he may not know everything, but he’ll only hire people who are experts. And yet, the Trump campaign can’t even hire speech writers who can write an original speech!

Nope, she does not get a break on this one. Nor does she deserve a break.
