1. If you thought Melania Trump’s speech sounded familiar, that’s because it was suspiciously similar to the convention speech Michelle Obama gave in 2008. (Though Ms Trump has subsequently issued an explanation, below).

2. Trump used a GIANT teleprompter to help him through his speech despite regularly (and very publicly) mocking Hilary Clinton for using one.

Bad performance by Crooked Hillary Clinton! Reading poorly from the telepromter! She doesn't even look presidential!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 2, 2016

Hillary Clinton made a speech today using the biggest teleprompter I have ever seen. In fact, it wasn't even see through glass, it was black
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2015

Hillary said such nasty things about me, read directly off her teleprompter…but there was no emotion, no truth. Just can't read speeches!
