Trump finally addressed his wife's plagiarized speech and this is what he said...verbatim - Good news is Melania's speech got more publicity than any in the history of politics especially if you believe that all press is good press!
Jesus Christ. These people would rather lie and deny than to admit they were wrong.
Well...the story behind the plagiarized passages has changed again.
First, it was "pffft, what plagiarism?" and the My Lil Pony defense.
Then, it was the "they're just common words and phrases; a coincidence" bullshit.
Followed by the "who cares? -- Clinton and the media are out to get poor Melania!!" fairy tale.
Today......the final answer from Donald Trump and the campaign is.......Donald Trump was just trying to protect a good friend and campaign staff writer by not admitting the plagiarism before. The plagiarism was an accident. Melania is a fan of Michelle Obama and had read some passages she liked from Mrs. Obama's speech to the female staff writer over the phone as examples and the writer mistakenly incorporated the passages word-for-word into the final draft of Melania's speech. The staff writer has apologized and will not be terminated, according to Donald Trump.
