So Donald tried to appease her with a prime time appearance. This was big time!
I doubt that she wrote the speech herself. But this whole campaign is about cutting corners. So they took Michelle Obama's speech and changed a few words and went on about their business.
This morning, the coffee is probably cold at the Trump household?

(28,795 posts)I recorded everything on CNN and MSNBC since then, and going on for another several hours. ask me anything!
and, yes, it was even worse than you think, especially the media doing their best to put the best face on things until they had the actual tapes of both. cnn was by FAR the worse of the two channels, with almost a total retinue of right wing supporters.
and, dahhlinks, Melania can barely speak English, sounding like a cheesy impersonation of Eva Gabor.....''the fabulous fashion industry''.....she actually used those four words together, talking about her struggles, how HARD she had to work (at being beautiful?). did she ever do a day's real work in her life? and her delivery was as affectless and wooden as GWB's speech in Dallas last week.
the best part was when I was confronted with myriad side by side comparisons between the two of them saying the exact same words. not one single pundit mentioned the difference between a real person, expressing real emotions, and a beautifully painted marionette, trying its best to appear human. so there!

(28,795 posts)it took about fifteen listens, the last time when I was starting to doze, when it hit me.
she was REALLY terrible, delivery-wise, too. eyes GLUED to the teleprompter to her left for the most part. just as emotionless as any glassyeyed model who dropped out of college after one year to assay the terribly onerous life of a runway model.
how does my ess look in my de-sign-uh cheens, Doan-ult?

Michelle could humorously play on that.

(22,047 posts)What better way to put the plagiarism controversy behind them than by making light fun of it. It would be hilariously funny, they'd tacitly accept responsibility and the crowd and pundits would love it. It would turn the story to their advantage.
But dot expect it because the Trump campaign is not smart and Donald Trump is an idiot.
