Donald Trump Jr.’s Convention Speech Used Recycled Material from Conservative Columnist
Donald Trump Jr. and his speechwriters saw the American Conservative article because it was about Trump and they plagiarized it for Trump Jr.’s speech. “Now they’re stalled on the ground floor” said Trump. “They are like Soviet Era department stores that are run for the benefit of the clerks and not the customers”. “… Our schools and universities are like the old Soviet department stores whose mission was to serve the interest of sales clerks and not the customers”.

Then, Business Insider Executive Editor Brett LoGiurato confirmed that Buckley was a speechwriter on Trump Jr.’s speech and must have chose to recycle some of his own work.
Nevertheless, it came as the controversy over Melania Trump’s speech continued to simmer and raised questions about the Trump campaign’s vetting of convention speeches. Speaking to Business Insider, he said, “I was a speechwriter for the speech”.
Buckley went on to tell multiple outlets that he worked as a speechwriter for Trump, and said the matter was a nonissue.
“Do these a– have half an original thought?” Don Jr.’s was being praised Tuesday night as a star-making speech, when astute Twitter users discovered that some of his phrases might have been plagiarized, too.
“Except it wasn’t stealing”, he tweeted, later clarifying to The New York Daily News that he had in fact written Mr Trump’s speech himself.
And, ultimately, self-plagiarism – that is, reusing your own words in another work without attribution – is still plagiarism, though as The Washington Post noted, this softer form is “a bit of an ethical gray area”. Had Buckley realized that reusing his old metaphor might be newly sensitive, which he should have, it would bear mentioning to the principal.
