My personal opinion is that Melania was solely responsible for the plagiarism. My proof no speechwriter got fired. (Think about it.) Plagiarism must run in the family.
Melania's Speech Is Latest Plagiarism Snafu for Trump Campaign
In March, the conservative news website Daily Caller revealed that Trump had seemingly plagiarized large chunks of an opinion piece about U.S. territories from Ben Carson, his former Republican primary rival.
Among other passages, most of the opening paragraph of March 9 piece in the Pacific Daily News published under Trump's byline was identical to Feb. 26 piece in Marianas Variety under Carson's name. (Carson, who by then had dropped out and endorsed Trump, let Trump off the hook by saying the apparent plagiarism didn't bother him.)
