As we discuss the great Melania Trump speech brouhaha of 2016, this old tweet from Donald Trump is making the rounds where he praised Michelle Obama’s speech at the 2012 Democratic National Convention. You see, lefty media types think it’s funny that Trump praised a speech his wife allegedly plagiarized, although they seem to have missed the fact that this tweet is from 2012 and the allegations are over the 2008 speech, but why let facts ruin the narrative?
Very good speech by @MichelleObama–and under great pressure–Dems should be proud!

Some were at least honest about the dates:
Haha. But to be FAIR, she plagiarized Michelle's 2008 speech, not 2012. https://t.co/tHbjuWFVTu

This was 2012. The Michelle speech at issue was in 2008. https://t.co/DKqyCJR4eS
