Trump’s RNC Claims Melania Plagiarized Speech From My Little Pony Not Michelle Obama

Republicans have come up with a new excuse for Melania Trump’s convention speech plagiarism. According to the RNC, Mrs. Trump may have lifted phrases from My Little Pony, not First Lady Michelle Obama.

To clarify: RNC's Sean Spicer was referring to "Twilight Sparkle" (pictured below) who also used Melania's phrasings

There are some problems with this latest excuse:

1). Michelle Obama gave her speech in 2008. The latest My Little Pony series debuted in 2010.

2). It is being reported that part of the speechwriting process for the Trump convention is to go through stacks of old convention speeches.

3). Twilight Sparkle has never given a speech at a political convention.

4). Michelle Obama has given speeches at national political conventions.

5). Melania Trump stole from Michelle Obama.

6). It is unclear if Twilight Sparkle is also a plagiarist.

How dare Donald Trump and the RNC drag Twilight Sparkle through the mud to cover for the plagiarizing Trumps?

Somebody is guilty of plagiarism here, and I don’t think it is the cartoon pony.

Melania Trump’s Claims She Graduated From College Are About As Credible As Her Speech Last Night

“She became ― and remained ― a college dropout.”

X

Melania Trump’s professional biography says the wife of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump began modeling at age 16, but she only began working full-time after obtaining a degree. She graduated “in design and architecture at University in Slovenia,” according to the bio as of Monday night:

Melania Trump

It’s a good story, but it doesn’t appear to be true.

Melania Trump never earned a university degree in architecture ― she dropped out of college after her freshman year, according to her biographers.  Still, she claims to have a degree from “university in Slovenia.” 

Questions about her education grew more significant Tuesday morning, following the revelation that Melania Trump plagiarized parts of her speech to the Republican National Convention from one that First Lady Michelle Obama gave in 2008.

That revelation on Monday raised the question of whether there was anything else Melania Trump hadn’t been entirely truthful about.

Slovenian journalists Bojan Pozar and Igor Omerza wrote in their biography on the former fashion model that she “became ― and remained ― a college dropout” after leaving the University of Ljubljana’s architecture school following her freshman year.

Below is their account of this period of her life in the book, Melania Trump ― The Inside Story: From a Slovenian Communist Village to the White House:

In her freshman year, the 19-year old Melanija Knavs attended lectures on the following subjects: elements of architecture, fine arts, fundamentals of technical mechanics, architectural construction, descriptive geometry, mathematics, and an ideological (read “communist”) elective credit called “General Partisan Resistance and Social Self-protection”. Melanija would have made it to her sophomore year, even having failed 2 exams, but she was supposed to have gotten and held a 1-month internship and kept a journal about it.

******

Later, in America, after meeting Donald Trump and officially becoming his partner, Melania Knauss told the media that she got her degree in architecture and design. This was almost certainly done in consultation with Trump and his advisors, as they were desperate to give off the impression that the Slovenian model was not just beautiful, but also smart and well-educated.

A spokeswoman for the Trump campaign declined to comment early Tuesday on Melania Trump’s claim that she has a university degree. 

Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims ― 1.6 billion members of an entire religion ― from entering the U.S.

“I simply can’t put my name down as someone who voted for principles that suggest racism or xenophobia, misogyny, bigotry, [for someone] who’s been vulgar time and time again,” Romney said in June. “I don’t want to be associated with that in any way, shape or form.”

Like I said, plagiarism is a legal offense in the USA.  They should file a lawsuit to prove their claim.  Until then we can banter about this all day and achieve nothing.

Politics is a dirty game.  It all results in whose lie you choose to believe.

Not everyone needs a conviction to recognize plagiarism, or a crime. You don't have to banter with anyone. You can just not read and/or respond to posts.

She's a really nice woman who is supportive of her husband. But then this loyalty can make her seem fiendish, because of what Donald Trump represents. His approach to this election is to prey on fear. Ratchet it up and make them swing your way - like Nixon. Unfortunately for him is the the subject of the fear he's selling is also the people who will vote. Nixon had more white non-college voters than Trump can call on.

Which law? The highest officials in the legal investigative department cleared her of all legal jeopardy. Only nut jobs like you keep repeating that lie.  No one blames Melania and she did not repeat some words from Michelle. Her speech writers and the campaign checkers screwed her. I do not hear anyone coming down hard on her.

You clowns act like maaga daags fighting over a piece of dry bone.

Those are such cliche words and im sure the speech writer draws from speeches and other public sources to penn such speeches.  Obama admitted he "borrowed" for his 2008 speech!

That lady blew the opposition away, now alyuh gnawing at you own paws in desparation!

Mark my words, Trump comenth like a comet!!  Hillary is a shooting star headed outwards and downwards!   Obama is a setting sun while Trump ushers in a new day!

Dude, resorting to name calling is not a good tact today the air is full of waifs of "plagiarist", "liar", "incompetent"  etc.

These are not run of the mill phrases but carefully crafted sentences constructed for their cadence as well as for their content. The Trump campaign wrecked their first day by being audacious cribbers.

The hard middle consists of mainly educated women, and he has alienated those like he has minorities.

While that is possible, one MUST ALWAYS use the words ... " ""Quote.... ... Unquote"" " to reference parts that were taken from other source(s).

Melania must be sanctioned for using words of others without making specific references or using the words ... " ""Quote ... Unquote"" ".

Melania got a Doctorate degree from Trump University.

Rush is a madman. Today he said that Melania grew up the right way. She worked hard earned the life she has. He said that Hillary feels threatened by Melania because of Melania's strength. He said that unlike Melania, Hillary had to attach herself to a man (Bill) to get up in life. My guess is that he doesn't know that Hillary was around 26 years and just out of law school when she was working to impeach Nixon. Now if you think Rush is mad, you have to listen to his disciples.

If Melania plagiarized from Michelle, then Michelle plagiarized from Eleanor Roosevelt who said the same about her husband in slightly different words.

 

Melania knocked that one out of the ball park........your partisanship, especially in the use of hyperbole and propagandistic elicit pity. you have really sunk to levels associated with rabid robots.

....then Michelle plagiarized from Eleanor Roosevelt who said the same about her husband in slightly different words.......you do take liberties with the English language. If the same....in slightly different words amount to something specific like word-for-word, then you truly need help in that cave from which you shout.

Oh rass, look who talking about English language.  Did you not admit right here on this BB that when you write English at GCE you failed???  Hahahaha.

What if he failed GCE english? Is that reflected in his present use of the language? Why do you laugh? Is it that self congratulatory to your own delusion that something is wrong with his language use?

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. And Yesssss!!!!!!!

1 Reliable sources have indicated that Melania Trump does not have any degree from universities.

2. She attended the University of Slovenia, dropped out after the first year of studies.

2. There are no references of a degree granted to her from Trump University. At best, in a satirical manner, references are made that Trump University could, after all, grant her a PhD degree.

Trump Campaign Lies About Melania Trump's Nonexistent College Degree

Ashley Feinberg, Yesterday 11:06am, Tuesday, July 19, 2016, http://gawker.com/trump-campai...istant-co-1783912735

First Lady hopeful Melania Trump has been under fire ever since she just so happened to repeat (nearly word for word) parts of Michelle Obama’s convention speech from 2008 last night. Now, Melania is left with the task of proving her credibility. And the Trump campaign isn’t making her job any easier.

As Politico points out, the official RNC schedule notes that Melania obtained “a degree in design and architecture at University in Slovenia” at some point. They tell us exactly when she signed a modeling career in Milan (1988), and they tell us exactly when Melania moved to New York (1996). When she left college is never specified, so we’re left to assume that the degree acquisition happened sometime in that range.

Melania’s own website offers something similar:

The only problem is that, according to pretty much everyone else, Melania Trump never actually graduated from college.

In a recent New York Times article—buried way, way down—the Times notes that “Melania’s entire family sensed potential in her modeling. After high school, she concentrated on her career, dropping out of architecture school. (She still claims on her website to have graduated.)”

The New Yorker, too, wrote back in May, “Her Web site states that she obtained a degree in architecture and design from the University of Ljubljana when in fact she dropped out in her first year.”

So why did the program flat out lie about Melania’s “degrees”? It’s especially odd considering it would have been all too easy for the Trump campaign to touch only vaguely on Melania’s education experience. This wouldn’t have been any more honest necessarily, but it certainly would have been a far shrewder tactic than outright lying about something that can be so easily disproved.

This latest flub just adds to the growing body of evidence that not only is the Trump campaign dishonest, they’re incompetent, too.
