I tend to think they want to play victim to detract from the substance (or lack of substance) of what she might say. This had to be done on purpose.

Now I'm hearing some guy with Trump saying they are angry at the press for jumping on this. I bet it's a phony outrage generator for Trump.

But...maybe she did sabotage. Hehehe.

especially when you consider that English isn't her first language (which isn't a criticism of her language skills at all). The media's blaming everything on the unknown speechwriter, which I'm sure is true, but I'm having a hard time getting angry at someone who intentionally sabotaged a racist and his lying wife.

Even the cadence and phrasing were similar.

I don't think Melania is all that bright. I mean, she was smart enough to land the large-bellied orange fish, but I don't think she's much of an intellectual.

These guys at MSNBC are saying "Out the speechwriter!" but what if the speechwriter was one of the TRUMP KIDS (maybe one who doesn't like the Step Mother, even after all these years....).
