(10,857 posts)When any of us say something in writing or in public, WE are held accountable for it. If someone writes a speech for me or in my name, I AM the person responsible for it.
In this case Mrs. Trump took full credit for the speech before she delivered it. She had one job to do these past five weeks, which was to write the speech she pretended to write, and if she wasn't going to do that, then she had better by God have someone double-check it.
Republicans have zeroed in on a scapegoat, but that's not nearly all of the story. My own suspicion is that the document was deliberately plagiarized and rickrolled by a subordinate who wanted to make sure he was paid for it by withholding a final draft--and likely was not, knowing the Trumps.
And beneath that is the telling and unforgivable bedrock of total incompetence, at all levels, from bottom to top. Recall that George W. Bush the candidate was a totally incompetent moron who went on to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was exactly that.
This portends the infinitely more serious disaster that awaits us if we fail to overcome these incompetent, malevolent fools.
