People are Butthurt Over Melania's speech having similar cliches to Michelle Obama's

[dholland662]

There are definitely similarities. But as I indicated, a lot of speeches have these same cliches.

They arent close enough for it to be prima facie evidence since these are common cliches in political speeches


Moreover it is only part of a speech. I bring that up because Biden provably copied an entire speech: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...ck-speech.html

Also this, amusing imo https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CnsnL5RXEAECCKL.jpg

Biden paid for his mistake though... Literally didn't become president because of it.

@Nixx you win.

[Kontinuum]

At least we know Trump will never, ever give up. And, most importantly, he will never, ever, let you down.

Difference between using cliches and straight ripping off another speech, even in scattered pieces. How immature, they did it so we can to! Clown fiesta continues

There was an example of two exactly the same speeches that were literally lined up noun by noun, verb by verb, and all that jazz demonstrating everyone already uses the same exact copy past format but I'm too lazy too look it up.

If you've seen it you know what I'm talking about lol

Here were Melania Trump's remarks:

From a young age my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life. That your work is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise. That you treat people with respect. They taught and showed me values and morals in their daily life. That is a lesson that I continue to pass along to our son, and we need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow because 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. I am fortunate for my heritage but also for where it brought me today.

And here's an excerpt of Michelle Obama's "One Nation" speech from 2008:

And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: that 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. And Barack and I set out to build lives guided by these values, and to pass them on to the next generation. Because 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."

"similar cliches" is a nice word for plagiarism.

[PC2]

Michelle stole ideas and language too. She isn't original either.

[Pangean]

You know right now they are running her speech through the same type of system they use to evaluate papers at colleges. How this plays out will be a good evaluation of how Trump deals with ethical issues.

[Dug]

Trump campaign now advocating for academic dishonesty. That's how winners get far in life

There's a difference between basing your speech around ideas, and near word for word copying. Even you can understand that.

I'll save you the time, Trump deals with each issue leveled against him the same, "go fuck yourself".

Now? Wasn't he been doing that for years?

[GennGreymane]

Hmmm... stunning. Can't wait to see how saying "go fuck yourself" will solve any issues.

You know Trump supporters. They think that's a solution to everything.

[Pendulous]

To be fair, these are the cliche-est of cliches. Levels of apathy rising.

Ahh I miss the days when the GOP was just plagiarizing Pokemon.

[Sky High]

not butthurt so much as loolzing. but I guess trump cucks don't know the difference.

[Nethlord]

At least we know Trump will never, ever give up. And, most importantly, he will never, ever, let you down.

He also never, ever run around...and hurt you.
