http://www.mediaite.com/online/report-trumps-campaign-is-in-a-save-my-marriage-moment-after-speech-plagiarism-crisis/According to NBC News Katy Tur who spoke with campaign sources around the Donald Trump camp, he ads are about to roll after the accusations that Melania Trumps speech Monday night may have been, in part, plagiarized.
Tur filed her report from outside Trump Tower in New York City Tuesday morning, and indicated that the situation is more of a save my marriage scenario rather than just a crises of the campaign trail.
Reportedly, Melania Trump was never overly enthused about doing the speech to begin with at the Convention. She has been a rarely-seen force on the campaign trail, with her longest speech of the entire 2016 cycle clocking in at only 0 seconds before Monday night. The intention behind having Mrs. Trump speak was to, show a different side of Donald Trump. The campaign pegged the speech as the cornerstone of Monday nights broadcast, putting, their best person, on the speech with the candidates wife because, they wanted Melania to outshine everybody.
Somebodys head is going to roll because of this, offered Tur Tuesday about the state of the campaign staff just hours after the speech. Somebody needs to stand up and take responsibilty for this, said Tur of the mood inside the camp.
My guess is no one's head "will roll".

(24,772 posts)I think the Trumpsters set up Melania, who's getting older, so Cheatin' Don can have an excuse to dump her for some pretty young bimbo. That's his MO.

(27,830 posts)She should have watched every other recorded speech every prospective First Lady has given and been well aware of what each of them said. If she can't even do that small amount of homework, she has no business being up there. Trump himself should have watched the other speeches too. They are intellectually lazy, which is their biggest disqualification for being First Couple that I can think of.
But, being them, they will blame someone else.

(15,224 posts)CNN reporting no one will be fired over this. Of course, that's publicly. What happens behind the scenes will probably be interesting.

(552 posts)a scene where trump pointed and poked at his wife's breast? I saw it once on tv but they seem to have deleted it.
It happened as he was standing next to her after the speech. Ultra weird and perverted.
I believe trump is a full blooded perv.

(26,582 posts)She doesn't want to be involved and maybe this was her way of getting out of ever having to make a speech again.

(150 posts)And I say that as a feminist, so no lines to read between. Melania just wants out. Can you blame her?

(26,582 posts)She didn't sign up for a political wife gig. I get it. She could just be devious enough to do this and then they won't have her up there again.
