ON EDIT: This makes me wonder how they ever thought this would not be noticed and fiercely criticized. Maybe they are so tightly wrapped up in their bubble that they cannot imagine anyone knowing anything but what they say to them.

This also suggests that Donald really isn't letting anyone even vaguely competent guide him in any way. It seems to me that he would have to have been the one in charge of helping Melania with her speech, because surely his kids would have known that the straight up plagiarism would get called out loudly and repeatedly.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!

There is a pattern of fraud among the Trumps. This can not be tolerated.

And she claims to have written the speech herself so they can't throw some speech writer under the bus. That's a self inflicted wound that is not going to heal. And who did she have the stupidity to plagiarize - Michelle Obama - oh, the perfect comparison. Not bright at all!
