Trump's campaign is populated by rank amateurs, like whoever designed the short-lived TP logo. Some similarly unqualified stooge probably wrote the speech, not stopping to think about the fact sooner or later somebody would notice the plagiarized part.

but I doubt very seriously that she did. I wonder who will get fired for this one. Meanwhile, republicans won't care. Its not like they ever listened to Michelle Obama speak anyway.

AND on MSNBC

It's everywhere. She told Matt Lauer she wrote it herself... so either she stole it or she lied about writing it.

Trump's campaign is totally incompetent. They obviously can't attract any real talent.
