That sounded familiar, Melania Trump

Maybe she got permission?

As people left the first day of the Republican National Convention on Monday, they probably felt pretty good about how Donald Trump’s wife did on stage.

It’s, maybe, the same way Democrats felt after Michelle Obama’s speech in 2008. 

Why? Because part of it was almost exactly the same, after Donald Trump came out to Queen’s “We Are the Champions,” to introduce his wife.

Trump’s campaign responded in a statement that said her “immigrant experience and love for America shone through in her speech.” The statement didn’t mention Mrs. Obama.

“In writing her beautiful speech, Melania’s team of writers took notes on her life’s inspirations, and in some instances included fragments that reflected her own thinking,” Trump spokesman Jason Miller said.

White House officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment late Monday evening.

In an interview with NBC News taped ahead of her convention appearance and posted online early Tuesday, Mrs. Trump said of her speech, “I wrote it.” She added that she had “a little help.”
