Shame shame, we know your name!!
Melania Trump has once again been accused of plagiarizing public material from the Obama administration. As you may’ve seen, the First Lady recently launched her “Be Best” initiative, which promotes online safety practices for kids. However, the pamphlet attached to her campaign is near identical to the one published by 44’s administration in 2014 (below)!
lmao… the White House/Melania Trump Be Best pamphlet about your kids being online is almost the exact same thing that the FTC published in Jan. 2014:

It’s said that, in addition to the covers, the text and pictures inside the pamphlet are almost word for word the same. This explains why the White House has changed wording regarding the booklet on their website. Originally, the Oval Office claimed the material was written “by First Lady Melania Trump and the Federal Trade Commission.” They’ve since altered it to read: “a Federal Trade Commission booklet, promoted by First Lady Melania Trump.”
As for Melania?? Her office offered up this response to the controversy:
“Mrs. Trump agreed to add Be Best branding and distribute the booklet in an effort to use her platform to amplify the positive message within.”
They also added that the FTC was excited for Mrs. Trump to include the material in her campaign. *Scoff* Okay, sure.
Sadly, this isn’t the first time Melania has been accused of plagiarism. For that scandal and more, be sure to proceed (below)…
