The Times reported that by early Tuesday, passages in Trump’s speech that had been inspired by outside sources had to be rewritten or attributed.

That’s not how to spell plagiarized.

Staffer: I am proactively taking the blame for (yet to be broadcast) Trump’s speech for any plagiarism, spelling mistakes, grammatical errors etc. I am just not good at what I do.
Trump: She is really good. I only hire the very best.

Wouldn’t their time be better spent checking his speech for factuality?

See, now this is exactly the wrong approach. The speech would be much better if he plagiarized parts of it from Jefferson, Lincoln, TR, FDR and JFK.

Yeah, Trump Jr only “recycled” the words his right wing inspiration says “were not stolen”.

TrumpCo is rewriting the plagiarist dictionary.

Not needed. Everyone involved, those there, those watching on television, already know whatever comes out of his mouth is a lie. His supporters defend his lies as the truth. His detractors struggle figuring out how you go about drinking from a firehose.

I got my fingers crossed…

I think he will ad-lib a lot during the speech. He has to take some swipes at Lying Ted, for sure.
He’ll probably talk about the NYT and the interview he gave.
This could be a speech for the ages.
