Melania Trump Cyberbullying Booklet Appears to Be Copied From FTC Booklet Released During Obama Administration



Two years ago, Melania Trump copied several lines in her Republican National Convention speech from an address Michelle Obama delivered in 2008. On Monday, Melania Trump formally announced the launch of an anti-cyberbullying initiative. As part of the initiative, the White House released a booklet that, in the words of Melania’s signed introduction, is intended to “help kids act thoughtfully and kindly” online. And, as BuzzFeed News’ Ryan Mac points out, it appears that the booklet was almost completely copied from a document released by the Federal Trade Commission in 2014.

Above, you can see the two documents’ covers. Here’s another side-by-side:

1. Why can't they switch it around a little bit. It's really not hard to just steal the

idea and make it your own. Doesn't she have people to take care of that? It seems like the people around her want her to look like a fool....

"Be Best".......WTF???

2. While there is no need to reinvent the wheel, taking credit for an existing booklet is tacky.
