.Wanna Know Why No One Was Fired?

IMO...Melania perhaps had a lot more to do with the choosing of the plagiarized wording than what
is being reported...After all Melania is portrayed by MSM as the Angel from above.. Perhaps not..but as I stated at the top...Just my IMO

She probably wanted a guide of what to say, found Michele's speech and could have inserted herself the parts she liked. That coupled with an inept, bare-bones staff that never vetted her speech netted this disaster. Liars, all of them.

Possibly,

I note she never really mentioned the Donald's other children, only the child (singular) that she and Donald had.

There is a report that she and Trump's older children are at odds with each other.

The quotes Mrs. Trump lifted are too similar to be a mistake. Is it possible that the speechwriter included the lines knowing that the plagiarism would be found out and sabotage Donald Trump's campaign? Or perhaps it was really sloppy copying & pasting without consideration of the source or editing/rewriting.

Nah, that's too CT. It was probably just a screw-up. Like Mr. Trump's entire campaign.

Remember: To a liar, sticking to the story is the same as telling the truth.

it looks increasingly like he can't fire anyone because it was either Melania or one of his kids who plagiarized Michele's speech.
