Please remind everyone that Melania Trump plagiarized her 2016 convention speech from Michelle Obama

It may happen again this year.
Below is the part Mrs. Trump plagiarized in her 2016 speech (IN CAPS):

“From a young age, my parents impressed on me the values that YOU WORK HARD FOR WHAT YOU WANT IN LIFE; THAT YOUR WORD IS YOUR BOND AND YOU DO WHAT YOU SAY AND KEEP YOUR PROMISE; THAT YOU TREAT PEOPLE WITH RESPECT,” Trump told the thousands of Republican delegates and media during the 2016 GOP convention.

In 2008, Mrs. Obama said, “YOU WORK HARD FOR WHAT YOU WANT IN LIFE; THAT YOUR WORD IS YOUR BOND AND YOU DO WHAT YOU SAY YOU’RE GOING TO DO; THAT YOU TREAT PEOPLE WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT, EVEN IF YOU DON’T KNOW THEM, AND EVEN IF YOU DON’T AGREE WITH THEM.”

In 2016, Melania Trump said, “WE WANT OUR CHILDREN IN THIS NATION TO KNOW THAT THE ONLY LIMIT TO YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS IS THE STRENGTH OF YOUR DREAMS AND YOUR WILLINGNESS TO WORK FOR THEM.”

In 2008, Michelle Obama said, “WE WANT OUR CHILDREN — AND ALL CHILDREN IN THIS NATION — TO KNOW THAT THE ONLY LIMIT TO THE HEIGHT OF YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS IS THE REACH OF YOUR DREAMS AND YOUR WILLINGNESS TO WORK FOR THEM.”

I apologized and cleaned it up. There just do not seem to be any words left to describe how vile this entire family is. Mrs. Birther, “I really don’t care do you”, redrum Christmas hall, desecrate the Rose garden.... ad nauseum, ad infinitum. She is as sickening as him.

since Mrs Obama torched the Dumpster pretty well. But I can hope! That would be hilarious!
