Trump blames Melania’s plagiarism on Meredith McIver, who doesn’t appear to be a real person

After Donald Trump spent two full days pretending his wife Melania somehow didn’t plagiarize her Republican Convention speech even after side by side comparisons had proven it was cribbed from Michelle Obama, he finally laid the blame at the feet of Meredith McIver. She’s a friend of Melania, she’s a longtime Trump employee, she used to be a ballerina, and she put out a statement admitting it was her fault. Just one problem: it appears that Meredith McIver may not be a real person.

Joy Ann Reid of MSNBC initially posed the question of whether anyone has ever “seen or interviewed Meredith McIver” because no one in the media could seem to recall having ever encountered this supposed longtime Trump employee. Her audience began digging and determined that no one by that name works for the Trump campaign, according to FEC filings, which are legally required to be reported honestly.

McIver has no Wikipedia entry despite the claim that she was a professional ballerina. She has pages on the lesser known sites of Everipedia and Speakerpedia, but both page appear to have been created in the last days. She has a Twitter account, but it’s existedfor less than a day. That Twitter account bizarrely claims that she’s not at the convention, even though she’s supposedly close friends with Melania and helped write the speech that she delivered at the convention.

The Twitter account does include a picture of a middle aged woman standing with Donald and Melania Trump at a previous red carpet event, and that photo does match the profile picture being used for her new social media pages that have been suddenly popping up since she was named the plagiarism culprit. But there is nothing to suggest that this woman is Meredith McIver, or that Meredith McIver is a real person.

She's real.

7. Ok! Just wish she was interviewed!

The article/link states that, but a ghostwriter could really be a ghost! When it comes to Trump all is possible.

10. Till I see the interview, not gonna trust the media on this!

24. OK:

'This'll be a little easier for you. MEREDITH!'

Trump has what some of his employees refer to as an open-door policy; its main function seems to be that he can shout at them through it.

'Would you get me a biography please!'

Meredith McIver, one of the assistants who doubles as his ghost writer, scuttles in with a few sheets of paper, on which a company bio is printed in bold and written in similar fashion: 'A schoolboy's dream ... a competitor's challenge. Donald J Trump is the very definition of the American success story. In August 2006, Mr Trump was voted by the staff and writers of Business Week as one of the Top 10 most competitive business people on the planet.'

12. It appears that there is in fact someone named Meredith McIver.

That being said, I highly doubt she's the person responsible for the plagiarism in Michelle Trump's speech.

[hamsterjill]

22. I tend to agree.

But I would bet you a Coke that Meredith McIver is richer today than she was last week.

The daily Newsbin is pro-HRC. But they provide sources.

[oberliner]

15. Meredith McIver is a real person

This Daily Newsbin article is crap.

As is much of the click bait nonsense on that ad-filled webiste (regardless of whether or not they have some articles that are pro-HRC)

[HooptieWagon]

17. NewsBinDaily a good source....

...for Broccolli.

[Her Sister]

19. Again the website is Pro HRC but they use sources!

[frazzled]

13. Here's a NYT article on her today, with bio and pics

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/21/us/politics/melania-trump-speech-meredith-mciver.html?_r=0

In other words, she's real. Whether she is to blame is another matter. I don't really care.
