One of the major highlights of RNC day one was Melania Trump’s speech. She spoke coherently, with only a few minor stumbles, especially for a woman who considers English her fourth or fifth language. Immediately following her appearance, however, reports of similarities with Michelle Obama’s speech in 2008 began to appear. The Trump campaign has rejected the accusations of plagiarism.
There is no question about it. Seen side by side, Mrs. Trump's speech used the exact phrasing as Michelle Obama's speech in 2008. Mrs. Trump plagiarized Mrs. Obama's speech.
