\Last week, we found out that Donald Trump's wife, Melania Trump, is apparently a fan of Michelle Obama's. In explaining her inadvertent plagiarising of the first lady's 2008 convention speech, Melania Trump's speechwriter said, "A person she has always liked is Michelle Obama."
Is it possible that Melania Trump's husband agrees with her?
As I noted last week, it's not that unusual for prospective or actual first ladies to say nice things about one another. There is something of a kinship, it seems, and they don't often get involved in the political sniping.
But here's the thing: Obama has now delivered two speeches that were very tough on Donald Trump -- albeit without mentioning him by name in either. There was one in an early June commencement speech and now on Monday night at the Democratic National Convention. Trump's response to each one has been silence.
Update: Trump has now broken his silence -- to praise Obama. In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Trump says of the speech that clearly targeted him in all but name: "I thought her delivery was excellent. I thought she did a very good job. I liked her speech."
