f you didn't think the Republican National Convention could get any crazier after protests, racist speeches, and blatant lies, think again! The newest aspect of the RNC to blow up in the GOP's face is Melania Trump's plagiarized speech. The speech given last night almost directly copied an entire section from Michelle Obama's address to the Democratic National Convention in 2008. Although the speech was given less than 24 hours ago, "Famous Melania Trump Quotes" have flooded Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr, and inspired endless giggles and eye rolls from Democrats.
Whether you are a Democrat, Republican, or Independent, you can certainly appreciate #FamousMelaniaTrumpQuotes for the brilliance they are. So please sit back, relax, and enjoy all of the famous things Melania Trump truly said:
1. "You're a wizard, Harry."
"You're a plagiarizer, Melania."
2. "I see dead people."
3. "I want to be the very best--like no one ever was."
4. "Imma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time."
We can only wish President Obama had pulled a Kanye and interrupted the speech with, "Imma let you finish, but Michelle Obama had one of the best speeches of all time." Missed opportunity.
5. "Miley, what's good?"
I wonder what the Queen of Clapback has to say about this.
6. "Four score and seven years ago, our fore fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation..."
Donald Trump and Abraham Lincoln may be a part of the same party by name, but I think the latter is probably rolling in his grave right now.
7. "Barrack inspires me every day. That's why I married him."
The greatest First Lady ever to First Lady.
8. "I have a dream."
It is just like white people in power to steal the words and sentiments of black people. Trump has been doing it throughout his life--no surprise his wife would do it now.
9. "You like me, you really like me!"
10. "We all live in a yellow submarine."
That would be better than living in America under Trump's presidency.
11. "Kim, there's people that are dying."
But why should the Trump's care? All they need to do is deport all the dying people along with the immigrants and LGBTQIA+ individuals. What an easy solution!
12. "Get in, loser, we're going shopping."
This actually sounds like some either Melania Trump or her husband, Donald Trump, would say. It is not that far of a stretch to imagine them calling someone a loser and then driving off to spend copious amounts of money.
13. "I'm building a wall."
Oops. Wrong Trump.
14. "Diamonds are a girl's best friend."
I'm sure Melania Trump has actually said this exact phrase multiple times in her life, and I'm sure she has claimed it as her own every time.
15. "I did not have sexual relations with that woman."
No comment.
All joking aside, I do hope this somehow makes people reconsider their support of Donald Trump. Sure, the speech was given by his wife and not him, but it cannot be disregarded as irrelevant or a simple fluke. By taking the words of a black woman and passing them off as her own, Melania Trump has demonstrated everything wrong with the Trump campaign. It is lazy. It is racist. It is absolutely ridiculous. Never have I seen such a lack of grace and lack of concern for the American people in a presidential hopeful's campaign.
Take a look at this man and everything he stands for. Do we really want him to be the face of our country?
