So who is the liar now?

[liberal N proud]

The Trump campaign is flat out lying about this speech.

[PJMcK]

1. They lie about everything

If Donald Trump tells you today is Tuesday, check your calendar.

[JHB]

2. To be fair...

...they lie about everything. SOP is to either back peddle or double-down until the media drops it.

[SticksnStones]

3. This is a joke, right?

No way it keeps happening....they can't be that inept, can they?

[lillypaddle]

5. oh. my. god.

[SticksnStones]

6. It looks to be his real account

And if you goggle Trump tweets it comes up so I don't think it's a cut and paste.

Gobsmacked.

[John Poet]

7. Trump has "copy and paste" speechwriters and social media people...

obviously.

This campaign is so "amateur hour"--
or maybe "keystone cops"...

I feel sorry for his wife, to have been put in this position by his so-called speechwriters...

[PJMcK]

12. You feel sorry for Mrs. Trump?

Melania Trump is an adult. She made her life choices and although she has had a career of her own, she benefits from the lifestyle that her husband provides.

I can't feel sorry for an adult who makes their own decisions. Besides, she lies as poorly as her husband. She claimed that she read the speech only once before delivering it. Really?! She was going on national television and she only read it once? That is not credible especially since she stated that the speech has been worked on for months.

I won't participate in name-calling but I whole-heartedly endorse calling out the Republicans- all of them- for their bullshit.

Melania Trump is a plagiarist and a liar. Facts are facts.

[John Poet]

16. I'd feel sorry for any candidate's wife

whose speechwriter put her in front of a national audience to deliver stolen material, which is what I believe happened here. Only in that single sense do I feel sorry for her.

Sounds like she's claimed both sides of this, once saying that she wrote it, another time claiming only to have read it once, so yeah, she's lied about it one way or the other.

[Dustlawyer]

19. On a snippet of Matt Lauer's interview on the plane that MSNBC played last night,

he asked if she had been practicing her speech on the flight over. She said she only read through it once because she wrote it. Then she back peddled a little and said she wrote almost all of it and had only a little help.

[John Poet]

23. Well, maybe it is her fault.

Just my initial reaction was she probably didn't write it herself (like, in a normal campaign run by professionals) but I keep forgetting how amateur hour this Trump campaign is... I just started hearing about it this morning.

[Brainstormy]

25. Right! Which is it?

Did she work on it for months or did she just read over it once? Either way it was a crappy, juvenile speech, delivered, as a friend said on Facebook, like an Austin Powers fem-bot, but without the gunfire. Frankly, it was a national embarrassment.

[bettyellen]

26. Exactly, she lied about the speech and in the speech.

[Raissa]

8. That is amusing but...

... I've seen a lot of people thinking it is real.

[bigwillq]

10. For real?

Wow

[coco77]

11. Is this for real?

If it is, he will lie it away regardless and the media will make excuses for him and give him campaign advice to help him along.

[Bobbie Jo]

13. This thing is getting smarmier by the minute.

[SticksnStones]

14. The Trump post is real

But the match can't be real. Looking for the Obama tweet. Second look, might be fake.

[Sophiegirl]

15. This is fake.

Look at the date/time stamp.

[SticksnStones]

17. Agreed.

2012 dem convention was in September.

Fool me once...

[IronLionZion]

21. He might have a troll working on his campaign

if it keeps happening too often they must be doing it on purpose. Or they just can't get qualified people to work for them.

[Ilsa]

22. Did you make this an OP?

It should be.

Trump is going to have to fire his campaign manager and leaders. You can't set up and dump on the nominee's spouse without expecting retribution.

[SCVDem]

24. You have got to be shitting me!

Is this a last ditch effort to get out of a game which went too far?

[SticksnStones]

27. That was my immediate thought

But a closer look shows that while the Trump tweet is legit, the Obama tweet has the wrong date for the 2012 convention.

[malthaussen]

28. An even closer look suggests...

... the soi-disant "Obama" tweet is a bad Photoshop of the Trump one. Dates, times, likes, retweets all the same or within what would be expected change in the brief time it took to make the bogus post. And frankly, I can't imagine Mr Obama using that phrasing.

29. Honestly!??? This is all happening???

[mountain grammy]

31. for real? Really for real?

[NBachers]

4. Who's Sorry Now?

[NCTraveler]

18. The same people that have been? Nt

[DemonGoddess]

20. Of course they're lying. It's what they do! n/t
