Does anybody think that someone or some group of people set up Melania on purpose?

Knowing that Malenia might not be the brightest light on God's Xmas tree so they
put Michelle words in Ms. Trump's speeching knowing that she would be caught and
this would hurt her and the Donald?

So it must have been an inside job too. has anybody seen Karl Rove of late?

I'm a little tired of many people offering up convoluted explanations for what seems to be a very simple situation. Plagiarism is plagiarism. This was plagiarism.

Who wrote that speech? Because I'll bet it wasn't Melania.

but they are arrogant enough to think that no one would recognize the speech eight years later.

I can't say she was "set up", but I'd look at the #unpaidinterns that cheap ass Trump no doubt employs at levels far beyond their experience. Someone, not Melania, put that in there, and it can't be a coincidence.

If you don't know what a Rickroll is, the Intertubes can provide voluminous assistance. Or ask your children if they're < 30. They will never let you down.

Never give up!
