Melania Trump's ‘ChatGPT memoir' mocked on 'Daily Show' as host recalls Michelle Obama plagiarism scandal

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Jordan Klepper mocked Melania Trump for her "ChatGPT" memoir and the widely-known plagiarism incident with Michelle Obama's speech on Wednesday, October 9 at 'The Daily Show.'

While reading Melania's memoir to the studio audience, Klepper recounted an excerpt describing a private moment between the former first lady and Donald Trump following his victory in the 2016 election.

Jordan Klepper mocks Melania Trump over plagiarism of Michelle Obama’s speech

The comedian, maintaining a deadpan expression, read aloud a passage in which Melania Trump turned to her husband and remarked: “Congratulations. What an achievement. All those other people, and you won. You’re the president of the United States of America.”

According to Melania, Trump responded, “And you’re the first lady. Good luck.”

“I’ve got to wipe away a tear on that one,” Klepper remarked jokingly. “That is a heartwarming moment that definitely wasn’t created by ChatGPT.”

He also remarked, “Turns out, writing is hard when you don’t have Michelle Obama to plagiarize from” alluding to the controversy over Melania's speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention, Independent reports.

Melania swiftly faced criticism after her 2016 speech due to its striking resemblance to Obama's 2008 Democratic National Convention address.

Some phrases were identical to Obama's, word for word. Melania said, “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.”

Obama has been known to have said, “And Barack and I set out to build lives guided by these values and to 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 hard for them.”

Melania Trump admits to similarities between her speech and Michelle Obama's

In her new book, Melania Trump acknowledges that her speech bore "undeniable similarities" to that of Michelle Obama's and attributed the oversight to the Trump campaign team, “fail[ing] to implement even the most fundamental safeguard.”

In her speech preparation, Melania mentioned that she found inspiration in Obama's address from years prior.

"During my review of many speeches of previous First Ladies, Michelle’s emphasis on the fundamental values of hard work, integrity, and kindness resonated deeply, reflecting the core principles that were instilled in me by my parents during my upbringing in Slovenia,” Melania writes.

The speech was well-received at the RNC, and Melania's spirits were uplifted. However, the sentiment was short-lived. “My sense of accomplishment on our flight back home swiftly turned to dismay and shock as news of a potential accusation of plagiarism reached our campaign,”

“My initial reaction was one of disbelief, but upon closer examination, the undeniable similarities between the two speeches left me reeling,” she recalls in her book which is available for reading.

She added, “The weight of this realization hit me with a force I had never experienced. Looking back, I realized that I had relied too much on others in this crucial endeavor.”
