Melania Trump’s speechwriter put out a statement taking responsibility for sticking Michelle Obama’s words into Mrs. Trump’s mouth, but the statement raised more questions than it answered. But Manafort said the campaign has been communicating with Cruz, who has held back from endorsing Trump, about what the Texas senator will discuss. It is a fairly common transgression that is usually resolved with a simple apology. But these Republicans have declined to attend or speak on Trump’s behalf, reducing his ability to consolidate Republican voters before heading into the fall campaign. She does not show up on campaign payroll through the end of May.
His “guilty or not guilty” call-and-response speech energized the crowd of Republican delegates, who chanted, “Lock her up!” It is a nice show of loyalty.
And Donald Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson said that Melania Trump “really wanted to communicate to Americans in phrases they’ve heard before”.
“We feel the America people don’t know all of Donald Trump”, he said on ABC’s “Good Morning America”.

For the third day in a row, what was supposed to be a carefully scripted show of unity was thrown into turmoil by unexpected events that have raised questions about whether the party can unite around Trump to defeat the presumptive Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, in the November 8 election. And he is also set to hit on something that has been noticably lacking in the first two days of the convention – talk about Trump and why he would be an effective president. “No big deal!” Trump Tweeted. In contrast, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said he “probably” would have fired his own speechwriters under similar circumstances.
Both Donald and Melania Trump shared McIver’s statement on their Twitter accounts Wednesday.
“He’s a man known for his large personality, his colorful style, and his charisma – and, well, I guess he was looking for someone to balance the ticket”, Pence said, laughing.
Does Trump have a muscular campaign?
They delivered a prospective speech to the campaign that incorporated humor, some light teasing of the real estate magnate and a focus on her upbringing in Slovenia and efforts to become an American citizen, according to several sources who read the original draft. But somewhat mysteriously, Scully and McConnell were not consulted again.
