Melania vs. Michelle

Is it still plagiarism if you do not know you did it?

Melania vs. Michelle
People Magazine

Social Media has blown up these past few days with the leftovers from Melania Trump's Republican National Convention speech and whether or not she plagiarized Michelle Obama’s speech from the Democratic National Convention back in 2008. Something around 7 percent of her speech was almost word for word directly taken from our dear FLOTUS’s speech. Now, I’m not going to argue whether or not I think the speech was plagiarized because I read both speeches and there were definitely similarities. I’m talking about whether or not Melania knew what was going to go down.

I’m talking about how I wholeheartedly believe that Donald J. Trump would throw his wife under the train tracks to be brutally destroyed by the public.

In my humble opinion, the Donald is only running for president to get Hillary Clinton elected. I think the many, many years DT has supported the Clintons' political careers should make it a tad obvious. His only job was to make a complete fool of the Republican Party so no one would take any of the other candidates seriously. He likes to say anything that will keep the public talking, he also likes to make sure it is about him.

What else would you expect from a reality TV star?

Now we have come to the point in the election where the majority of the public believes we only have the two options. They believe, come this November 8th 2016, they will have to choose either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. It is now the Republican Party’s job to make it a complete act of idiocy to vote for the Donald. Every time I turn around I’m reading an article about someone else DT has harrassed.

The most recent, his wife.

The only problem with this is the fact that I do not think Melania Trump was told that she would be used and made a fool. Since the very beginning of his campaign, it has been known that she has been against her husband running for office. Though she may have been involved in the scheme, I don’t think she knew she was giving a speech similar to Mrs. Obama’s. So while everyone is out there making fun of Melania, I think they need to take a minute to think about how she must feel. Waking up the next morning, learning about what happened, then processing the fact that her husband did this to her. He allowed the supposed love of his life to be crushed by our overly judgmental society for his own personal gain.

There is no way her speech writers were not aware the speech was so similar to the one FLOTUS gave back in 2008. There is no way Donald J. Trump was not aware that his wife was going to be so viciously used.

Melania Trump is as much of a victim as they come. She doesn’t deserve the whipping she was handed.

Yours Lovingly

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
