Can Melania Trump be First Lady after doing NUDE photo spreads? – CNN anchor
The risque British GQ photo shoot with Melania Trump (then Knauss) from January 2000 being used in a controversial political meme was re-published on the magazine"s web site earlier this month.
Titled "The Future First Lady? See Melania Trump"s n**e photo shoot," the 15-year-old shoot features the then model in various poses in and outside of a private jet.
GQ-magazine.uk.co noticed its repurposed pics, writing: "We always knew American politics was weird, but we didn"t realize it could get this weird..."
The meme making its way around the Internet was one of three ads created by the anti-Trump group Make America Awesome ahead of Tuesday"s Utah caucuses.
However, Trump went after his fellow candidate Ted Cruz instead.
Cruz responded to Trump on Twitter saying, "Pic of your wife not from us. Donald, if you try to attack Heidi, you"re more of a coward than I thought. #classless."
Liz Mair, Republican strategist in charge of the PAC, Make America Awesome, claimed responsibility for the ad.
Many on social media joined in on the latest Trump controversy.

Donald Trump praised his wifes demeanor and described her speech at the Republican National Convention as absolutely incredible. He also said that his wife had been working on it for weeks. In an interview with MSNBC, Melania Trump said of her speech:
I read once over it and thats all. Because I wrote it with as little help as possible. Im excited.

Contrary to these statements, Jason Miller, senior communications advisor for Trumps campaign said that a team of writers had worked with Melania in its composition by taking notes of her inspirations, and in some instances included fragments that reflected her own thinking.
The speech itself was strikingly similar to Michelle Obamas speech at the Democratic National Convention back in 2008. In fact, critics were quick to create jokes that prompted #FamousMelaniaTrumpQuotes on Twitter.

Trumps team denies allegations of plagiarism, calling it absurd. Campaign manager, Paul Manafort said, Theres no cribbing of Michelle Obamas speech. Certainly, theres no feeling on her part that she did it. What she did were use words that are common words.
Perhaps Manafort needs to be reminded that plagiarism is not limited to the copying of words, but even of thoughts, ideas, or expressions; recycling of an authors thoughts, even by substituting words- called rogeting, so as to appear as ones original work is considered plagiarism.
Given that it was indeed Melania Trumps work, how is it that the two contrasting figures managed to come up with a similar thought-process? Are thestatements applicable to the first lady wannabe?
Melania Trumps speech says, From a young age, my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life, that your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise, that you treat people with respect.
She continues, They taught and showed me morals in their daily life. That is the lesson that I continue to pass along to our son. And we need to pass those lessons on to many generations to follow because we want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.
Even to give her the benefit of the doubt, people would be hard-pressed to believe the speech is applicable to the speaker, whose n**e photos are all over British GQ magazine.
Melania Trumps n**e photo shoot shows her on Donald Trumps customized Boeing 727, handcuffed, glittering with diamonds, and holding a handgun.
The morals and values spoke of certainly do not match with the images.
Do you think Michelle Obamas speech was plagiarized? Check it out:
Barack & I were raised with so many of the same values: that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say youre going to do; that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you dont know them, and even if you dont agree with them, Obama said.
And Barack and I set out to build lives guided by these values and pass them on to the next generation. Because we want our children and all children in this nation to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.
MSNBCs Lawrence ODonnell said of Melania Trumps speech, There is no university in America that would not rule this as plagiarism.
