Melania Trump's convention speech plagiarized from Michelle Obama

“that you work hard for what you want in life.”

I lol’d at this. Because the unspoken part was, “…so I then married a Billionaire.”

I’m positive that the Trumps don’t even know plagiarism is morally reprehensible. In fact, I’m certain they don’t have any moral compass at all, unlike the rest of us.

That’s just the kind of folks these people are.

Oh, what’s one more deceit?

Truth. I already assume Trump voters are the same who use paperwriting services to get through school, and falsify their resumés. They’re voting BIG BALLS 2016.

Are there any examples of Trump stories for which the publicity payoff was less than the damage suffered?

He’s a socialist when it comes to who pays for the damages.

Yes, obviously. Stories about his slurs against women, for starters.

Man, I’m beginning to think that Trump could sacrifice a goat on stage at the RNC and it would have no substantial effect on his poll numbers either way.

No, not at all. This from the side that declared he could shoot people and they would still vote for him. It is plagiarism, but who will vote for him will either excuse it or just smirk at the tweak and not care.

[sarcasm] Everyone knows that goats are liberals; it had it coming, so long as he doesn’t sacrifice it in a halal way. [/sarcasm]

Besides, this is the guy that said (accurately), that he could murder people in broad daylight in a major city and not lose a single supporter.

Someone should get transcripts of all the speeches and plagiarism check them.

That’s a good example. I’m not sure that story has played out yet. Trump’s strategy is often to double down, divide the electorate to energize his base. He turned his Megyn Kelly remarks into a win, but I’m not so sure that he can do that in general with women.

It would have no effect either way only if the media didn’t cover it.

If the media covers it, it would help Trump. If PETA condemned the action, it would multiply the support. He probably couldn’t get away with killing a dog or cat though. Maybe a chihuahua.

The irony is the lyrics of that song are exactly what Trump is known for doing, if you ask anyone he’s ever been involved with, romantically or in business. Telling lies and hurting people is his modus operandi.
