Oh Melania.
Melania Trump is facing fresh accusations of plagiarism after a speech she made yesterday.
She was speaking in Berwyn, Pennsylvania, for the first time since she was accused of stealing Michelle Obama’s speech in the Republican National Convention in July. Back then, Melania practically lifted two whole paragraphs from a speech Michelle had made and read them out as if they were her own words.
She later released a statement which said that she “took notes on her life’s inspiration and fragments that reflected her own thinking.”

But now, over three months on, it’s Trump’s ex wife that Melania is being accused of copying. She was addressing a crowd yesterday trying to encourage them to vote for her husband when she said:
“America meant, if you could dream it, you could become it.”
It’s been pointed out that this sounds very like something Trump’s ex wife Marla Maples said in an interview with Maximum in 2011 when she said:
“I believed if you could dream it you could become it, so I didn’t see life as having any limitations.”
We’re looking forward to what Melania has to say about this.
