Unfortunately for her, yes. She stepped up. By doing so, she's no longer a noncombatant. calimary Nov 2016 #6

Melania Trump made a much-talked about speech condemning cyberbullying on Thursday, but apparently some of it had been said before — by Marla Maples.

Yep, the GOP nominee’s wife has been accused of plagiarizing from none other than the GOP nominee’s ex-wife.

Yair Rosenberg, a senior writer for Tablet Magazine, tweeted that Melania had lifted the phrase “if you could dream it, you could become it” from an old interview with Donald’s second spouse, as both Mrs. Trumps misquoted a similar famous saying, he said, citing another Twitter user.

She has willingly chosen to campaign along with TrumpleThinSkin's adult children.
. . .and I have not forgotten that speech she did at the GOP convention; heavily plagiarized from one of Michelle Obama's speeches a while back.
AFAIC, Melania is fair game, just like the other members of the family who have actively campaigned.

Dear Melania - once you stick your head up out of the foxhole, dearie, you're in the war. You got involved. You're out there in public making a high-profile speech supporting your candidate-husband. You didn't keep your head down and stay home with your kid. You stepped up, and forward, and out in the wide-open. You ARE part of it, girlfriend. And you ARE fair game.
