Ms Trump took centre stage [Monday] to launch her ‘Be Best’ public awareness campaign to help children, including discouraging cyber bullying.
Her choice of issues had earlier raised eyebrows given US President Donald Trump’s use of Twitter to attack his political opponents.
(ABC News, May 7, 2018)
Apropos of raised eyebrows, twits trolled her for agreeing to lift heavily from the companion pamphlet Michelle Obama used for her FLOTUS campaign.
You’d think she would’ve been loath to do so given the flak she got for infamously plagiarizing her 2016 RNC speech from Michelle’s 2008 DNC speech.
It has become as pointless as it is redundant to denounce the big lies that characterize Donald Trump’s black-swan presidential campaign. And denying the undeniable fact that his wife plagiarized Michelle Obama’s 2008 DNC speech at the RNC’s Hate week on Monday night is the least of them.
His campaign motto seems to be: Deny, deny, deny until a lie becomes the truth!

But I suspect lies and entitlements are so commonplace in her life that she’s just doing what entitled liars do.
Meanwhile, the irony seems completely lost on the Trumps that, while Donald is trying to undo everything Barack did, Melania is trying to copy everything Michelle did. The awkward public displays of affection between the Trumps are telling enough. But this dissonance towards the Obamas speaks volumes about the state of their marriage.
