Melania Trump’s plagiarized speech
Family, dreams, parents and value are the most common among the American Speeches, but the Melania Trump’s speech was too close to Michelle Obama, and this time it’s not the case of great women think alike.

Ms. Trump, who was introduced by her husband, Donald Trump to the Republican National Convention “as the first lady of the US” was appreciated for her confidence and poise by many commentators after she was done with her speech, but that did not last for long.
Within minutes after her speech she was facing charges of plagiarism, as social media led to many discussions about the similarity between her speech with the one delivered by Ms. Obama in 2008 to address the Democratic National Convention.
Ms. Trump said on Monday, “From a young age, my parents impressed on me the values that you have to work hard for what you want in life, that your word is your bond and do what you say and keep your promise, that treat people with respect. They taught and showed values and morals to me in their daily lives. These are the lesson that I continue to pass along to our son.”
Ms. Obama said in 2008, “And Barack and I have been raised with so many of the same values: that you work hard for what you want in life; that our word is our bond and you do what you say you’re going to do; that treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don’t know them, and even if you don’t agree with them.”
