Interesting. A jpeg of the letter is posted. First saw this on @realdonaldtrump. Hope it was not already posted. Go ahead and remove it moderator if posted.

OK, now I am convinced. Trump just played them again with this episode.

This mea culpa could have come out yesterday. Instead Trump let side-by-side comparisons of his wife next to Michelle Obama circulate for an entire news cycle. All of which reflected very well on Mrs. Trump.

Then the speechwriter dutifully falls on her sword, only to have the magnanimous Mr. Trump allow her to keep her job. Damn this guy is good!

As this who-cares kerfuffle dies down, I hope those dear MF’s in the media will note that we shall follow the words said in the democratic convention, and when they utter someone else words, phrases and platitudes, we WILL wail and scream about THEIR plagiarism! I mean, SHOUT it out on Faceboot and Twitter until they ban us all!

You can’t voice platitudes without repeating something said by someone. And the democrats LOVE their touchy-feely platitudes, so this should be a fairly likely occurrence.

Payback, as they say, is a Hillary.

Didn’t Melania Trump get some ‘helpful notes’ from a democrat ‘friend’? Someone she trusted... then made the mistake of passing those notes along?

This wasn’t the speech writer’s fault ... Trump was right to turn down the resignation offer. Malania’s a sweet loving wife and Trump’s a loving and wise husband.

I had no idea that’s what he was saying. Of course, having hearing aids in both ears doesn’t help much sometimes.

“I just wished this whole silly ‘controversy’ would go away. “

It has ... for the most part.

I don’t see all of the Facebook social justice warriors out there trashing her anymore. I guess they got sick and tired of seeing the same names making snarky comments. They also got sick and tired of people actually watching the speech (thanks to links in news articles about this “controversy”) and being floored by her beauty and brains thus giving Trump another look.

I’ll bet this whole non-issue earned the Trump ticket more support. It certainly didn’t hurt it.

Meredith McIver's amazon page. She's co-written several Trump Books. Prob explains his not firing her.

This makes is worse, alas. The aide says Melania said she admired Michelle Obama and read her some lines from Michelle’s speech over the phone. The aide then wrote the speech and included those lines, and gave the speech to Melania. So why didn’t Melanie recognize the lines which SHE HERSELF had recently read to the aide? Either Melania is a bit dim of brain or this is a hastily concocted fiction. I lean toward the latter. Ai ai ai.
