Melania, wife of American Presidential hopeful, Donald Trump has been trending around the world after a portion of her speech at the first day of the Republican National Convention, plagiarized Michelle Obama convention speech. 

Commentators noticed similarities with Mrs Obama’s 2008 convention speech. Mrs Trump’s speech also praised her husband as a “compassionate” man who would “fight for the country”. It was her first speech of the campaign and she had the help of a speechwriting team.

In a section, Mrs Trump said: “My parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise; that you treat people with respect.”
