Donald Trump Jr. ✔ @DonaldJTrumpJr
I'm honored that POTUS would plagiarize a line from my speech last week. Where's the outrage? #DemsInPhilly https://twitter.com/politico/status/758653259913527296

Both men did use the line "This is not the America I know" in their respective convention speeches.
But as NBC News pointed out, Obama has used versions of this line in several past speeches. In a 2010 speech, he used the line, "That is not the America we believe in." And in addresses delivered in 2012 and 2016, he used the line, "That's the America I know."
Former President George W. Bush also once used the line, "That's not the America I know," as NBC News noted.
Spoiled brat Trump Jr.

(234 posts)I knew they weren't the brightest bulbs in the chandelier, but Junior really stepped in it on this one. Not only did he provide graphic illustration of his ignorance, but he managed to remind everyone of the family plagiarism addiction. It would be funny if it weren't so tragic that we have to listen to these cretins for the next few months.
