Before Monday's speech, Melania, a Slovenian-born jewelry designer and former model, told NBC's Matt Lauer: "I wrote it... with as little help as possible." A spokesman for the Trump campaign called the speech a success, but suggested her writers may have mistakenly injected some borrowed language. Mrs. Trump appears to have lifted two paragraphs almost verbatim from Mrs. Obama. Melania Trump never earned a university degree in architecture ? she dropped out of college after her freshman year, according to her biographers. Still, she claims to have a degree from “university in Slovenia.” Questions about her education grew more significant Tuesday morning, following the revelation that Melania Trump plagiarized parts of her speech to the Republican National Convention from one that First Lady Michelle Obama gave in 2008. That revelation on Monday raised the question of whether there was anything else Melania Trump hadn’t been entirely truthful about. Slovenian journalists Bojan Pozar and Igor Omerza wrote in their biography on the former fashion model that she “became ? and remained ? a college dropout” after leaving the University of Ljubljana’s architecture school following her freshman year. Below is their account of this period of her life in the book, Melania Trump ? The Inside Story: From a Slovenian Communist Village to the White House: In her freshman year, the 19-year old Melanija Knavs attended lectures on the following subjects: elements of architecture, fine arts, fundamentals of technical mechanics, architectural construction, descriptive geometry, mathematics, and an ideological (read “communist”) elective credit called “General Partisan Resistance and Social Self-protection”. Melanija would have made it to her sophomore year, even having failed 2 exams, but she was supposed to have gotten and held a 1-month internship and kept a journal about it. ****** Later, in America, after meeting Donald Trump and officially becoming his partner, Melania Knauss told the media that she got her degree in architecture and design. This was almost certainly done in consultation with Trump and his advisors, as they were desperate to give off the impression that the Slovenian model was not just beautiful, but also smart and well-educated. A spokeswoman for the Trump campaign declined to comment early Tuesday on Melania Trump’s claim that she has a university degree.

I think the campaign did this on purpose, so there would be side by sides comparing gorgeous Melania to gorilla Michelle. What an insane UPGRADE of first lady this would be!!! How many languages does the gorilla know by the way? Melania knows five.
