Which speeches of Mrs. Trump were accused of copying Mrs. Obama?

Melanie Trump's speech won praise on Monday and the opening night of the party's national convention, but her speech was closely examined almost immediately, and it was found that her speech was strikingly similar to Michelle Obama's speech at the 2008 Democratic National Congress. The questioned statement appeared in Melanie Trump's part about her growth and her parents. She told NBC News earlier on Monday that she wrote her own speech. The following is the relevant part. Melanie Trump said on Monday night, "My parents have instilled these values in me since I was very young: you must work hard to get what you want in life, your words are your promises, you must keep your words, and you must respect others. They taught me this kind of values and morality in daily life and set an example. I continue to pass on these teachings to our son. We need to pass these teachings on to future generations. Because we want the children in this country to know that the only limit of your achievements is the power of your dreams and your willingness to work hard for them. "

Michelle Obama said in her speech in 2008: "Barack and I grew up with many of the same values: you work hard to get the life you want;" Your word is your promise. Keep your word and keep your promise. You should treat others with dignity and respect, even if you don't know them, even if you disagree with them. Guided by these values, Barack and I began to build a life, and we passed these values on to the next generation. Because we want our children-and all children in this country-to know that the only limit to your achievement is the power of your dreams and your willingness to work hard for them. "

Melanie Trump said: "I was born in Slovenia, a beautiful small country in Central Europe. It was then a capitalist country. Our excellent parents raised my sister Ines and me. Ines is an incredible woman and my friend. My elegant and hardworking mother, Amalia, taught me fashion and beauty. My father Victor instilled in me a passion for business and tourism. Their integrity, sympathy and wisdom still affect me and my love for my family and America. "

Michelle Obama said in 2008: "I came here as a daughter. I grew up in the south of Chicago. My father is a blue-collar worker in the city. My mother does housework and takes care of my brother and me. Mother's love has always been the strength to maintain our family. One of my greatest pleasures is to see her integrity, her compassion and her wisdom reflected in my two daughters. " Before giving her speech, Melanie Trump was interviewed by Matt Raul of NBC. She said in the program that she only read the manuscript once in advance. She said: "I wrote it myself, and I tried to ask others for help as little as possible."

Donald Trump's campaign aides remained silent on Tuesday morning. A Trump campaign aide said privately that the campaign team is carefully reviewing the paragraphs in these two speeches. Another campaign assistant accused the news media and Democrats, suggesting that they were fanning the flames.

With the outbreak of controversy, Donald Trump posted the following content on Twitter: "It's an honor to introduce my wife, Melania. Her words and actions are absolutely unbelievable. Very proud! "

Some of Donald Trump's staunchest defenders cannot explain these linguistic similarities. On CNN TV, commentator and Trump supporter Jeffrey Lord called it "a serious matter". He recalled the plagiarism scandal of Joe Biden, the current vice president, which led to the failure of the presidential election of 1988 to some extent. Lord speculated that Donald Trump's campaign staff should be responsible for the remarks, adding that whoever it was should let him go.
