Mandag aften dansk tid begyndte det republikanske konvent i Cleveland, hvor Donald Trumps kone Melania Trump holdt en af aftenens hovedtaler. Opmærksomme seere opdagede dog hurtigt, at talen mindede om noget, vi har set før.
Melania Trumps tale havde nemlig overraskende store ligheder med den tale, førstedame Michelle Obama i sin tid holdt under det demokratiske konvent tilbage i 2008 forud for præsident Barack Obamas første valgsejr senere samme år.
Særligt et afsnit af Melanie Trumps tale minder overraskende meget om Michelle Obamas konvent-tale fra 2008. Her taler de begge om de værdier, man videregiver til den næste generation.
På det sociale medie Twitter har flere delt en video, der sammenligner netop det afsnit af talen. Du kan selv bedømme ligheden herunder.
Artiklen fortsætter under videoen.
Mediet The Daily Beast har også ulejliget sig med at sammenligne de to afsnit mere direkte.
Her kan du læse uddraget af Melania Trumps tale:
»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.«
»They taught and showed me values and morals in their daily life. That is a lesson that I continue to pass along to our son, and we need to pass those lessons on to the 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.«
Og her et uddrag af Michelle Obamas tale fra det demokratiske konvent i 2008.
»Barack and 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 you're going to do; that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don't know them, and even if you don't agree with them.«
»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.«
Som det fremgår, er ordlyden i de to taler noget nær ens - og det har hverken gået Twitter-brugere eller mediers næse forbi.
