Trump refused to accept the resignation from the staffer....

who helped Melania's speech. He was able to find a scapegoat! That sword must have been a "HUGH" one, in order for her to fall on?

and no one will ever buy her "tell all" book on trump...

My guess is that they paid her off to take the fall for cribbing. Probably over $1M.

She took the fall so to speak, and will remain in the Drumpf clique, with some extra cash in her bank account. I bet she's already booking a vacation to somewhere exotic.

She has no integrity anyway, since she's built her career around writing books about Trump.

The chance that she writes her own speechs is pretty tiny.

The scandal isn't that his wife plagiarized, it's that his operation is so incompetent.

Another one of trump's playbook tactics -- make up a name and phone it in.
