Melania Trump to NBC News: I wrote the speech myself
In an exclusive interview with Matt Lauer, the wife of GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump said she was excited to take the stage and didn't need to practice what she was going to say.
"I read once over it and that's all because I wrote it, with (as) little help ... as possible," she said.
Oh, I don't know. She could at least thank Michelle Obama for helping her.

I watched the convention tonight and this has been the best part of it. Absolutely the most entertaining and informative (we now know that Melania Trump wants to be Michelle Obama) part of the whole night.
If the other nights can deliver this much glee, well, I will plotz with joy.

Tonight will be hard to top, yet somehow I think they might manage it.

(90,785 posts)She (MT) gave a speech about honesty and hard work using words stolen from another.
I can't wait to see who they blame.

Certainly did not go as expected for them. Did you notice that at the end of Lauer's interview with Trump and Melania yesterday, he said Melania would be on the Today show this morning, the day after her speech. From another thread it looks like she was a no-show and they ran tape of her instead, though I doubt they brought up the change in plans.

Just talked to Paul Manafort. He says there was no plagiarism, the lines from Melania Trump's speech weren't lifted.
Manafort to me on plagiarism allegation: "These are common words."

Common words, my ass.

The speech wasn't personal. The people should be allowed to draw their own conclusions from the anecdotes. I ended up wondering if MT knows DT at all.

Truly amateur hour over in Trumpland.
When will Republicans have enough of their BS?

I recorded it, and played it several times.....I have a very sad life, except for yesterday/today. she paused where the dots are, because she realized she didn't say 'as'

I wonder if Trump had a tantrum. I'm betting he did.
