Trump plagiarized his tweet, the one that followed his wife's speech

[Sanity Claws]

I didn't catch it but a foreign newspaper did. Here's a link, http://www.independent.ie/entertainment/trending/id-like-to-thank-my-speech-writers-copy-and-paste-voters-react-to-melania-trumps-speech-at-republican-national-convention-34895982.html

Here are the tweets:

Afterwards Donald Trump's tweet that he was "very proud" of his wife was nearly identical to Obama's tweet which he sent eight years ago after the Democratic National Convention.
"It was truly an honour to introduce my wife, Melania. Her speech and demeanor were absolutely incredible. Very proud!" Trump tweeted.

"It was truly an honour to introduce my wife Michelle. Her speech and demeanour were absolutely incredible. Very proud!" Obama tweeted.

1. It's a fake. Don't bother.

No need to use fake evidence to tear down someone who's already a phony.

3. Are you saying this was debunked somewhere?

The first I heard this part of the story was in the foreign newspaper I linked to.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

4. Yeah, Snopes it before you post it.

It raised my eyebrows as well, but quick research says it's bunk.

5. Perhaps you should tell the newspaper that I took it from

The newspaper is reputable.

7. Well, looks like they got punked as well.

It happens.

2. Nooo! Seriously? Really??

This has GOT to be some sort of gag! A very funny one ... but it can't be true, can it?

6. Think not true! Pres. Obama tweet 's a fake! Plus would not describe his wife that way!

[NurseJackie]

8. Thanks! It definitely made me laugh, but I had a feeling ...

... it was too good to be true. Still, it's not beyond the realm of possibility, and that doesn't reflect very well on Trump or the GOP in general.

9. Snopes has it: false

10. Darn. (Obviously I'm getting greedy.)

[Her Sister]

12. I know but am glad because to say: "Her speech and demeanour were absolutely incredible."

About FLOTUS is kinda off! Something condescending about it.

[Hortensis]

13. Yes, it doesn't sound like him.

14. British/Australian spelling

Not to mention the British/Australian spelling of "honour" and "demeanour." If as if some from the Centre Theatre wrote it in coloured pencils.

15. I was just gonna point out the British spelling

That was the tip-off, for me.
