Well, he might have been better off had she passed on speaking at the convention last night too.
I saw Mrs. Trump say yesterday that she worked on her speech for a long time and had very little help writing it. So, it's hilarious that it contained passages pulled virtually word-for-word from Mrs. Obama's 2008 speech.
Michelle Obama, 2008
“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.”
“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.”
Melania Trump, 2016
“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 assembled media on Monday night in Cleveland.
“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.”

On another note, I think a HUGE deal would have been made if Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush, or Michelle Obama's educational achievements had been falsified, or were even alleged to be falsified.
But, given she's part of the Trump brand, if Mr. Birther's claim that his wife earned a Slovenian architecture and design 'degree' turns out to be fiction, I don't think anyone will care much.
