I didn't catch it but a foreign newspaper did. Here's a link, http://www.independent.ie/entertainment/trending/id-like-to-thank-my-speech-writers-copy-and-paste-voters-react-to-melania-trumps-speech-at-republican-national-convention-34895982.html
Here are the tweets:
Afterwards Donald Trump's tweet that he was "very proud" of his wife was nearly identical to Obama's tweet which he sent eight years ago after the Democratic National Convention.
"It was truly an honour to introduce my wife, Melania. Her speech and demeanor were absolutely incredible. Very proud!" Trump tweeted.
"It was truly an honour to introduce my wife Michelle. Her speech and demeanour were absolutely incredible. Very proud!" Obama tweeted.

(42,862 posts)... it was too good to be true. Still, it's not beyond the realm of possibility, and that doesn't reflect very well on Trump or the GOP in general.

(180 posts)Not to mention the British/Australian spelling of "honour" and "demeanour." If as if some from the Centre Theatre wrote it in coloured pencils.
