In what would appear to be the most brainless political blunder of the ages, Melania Trump lifted a paragraph from Michelle Obama's 2008 convention speech! If you are going to plagiarize, don't plagiarize your immediate predecessor's speech given on the exact same occasion. You have to be really stupid to do this. And what about all the speechwriters and editors who reviewed and tweaked the speech? How did they not catch this monumental gaffe? This is what they do. Then there is the Rickroll. Rickrolling was all the rage some years back when almost any link that might be sent would go to this Rick Astley video. It was a common prank that migrated around my office for a month or so. Amazingly, Melania included lyrics from that infamous practice: never give up, never let you down. Or did she?
I am inclined to agree with this guy that the speech was intentionally modified to embarrass Melania and the Trump campaign. There are plenty of disgruntled Cruz, Bush, et al supporters at the convention and even, in all likelihood, some NeverTrump folks. Either sabotage or Melania is abysmally stupid.
