It is plagiarism when Trump hit the same points, and used the same sentences almost word-for-word, and it took him TWO HOURS to re-write President Obama's tweet. π Melania Trump also plagiarized one of Michelle Obama's speech. The Trumps are not smart, educated people.
I got in trouble for plagiarizing once. I wrote a paper, but one or two sentences had been mostly copied from the textbook. I changed them around and changed a few words, which is what The Donald did here, but that isn't good enough. The teacher noticed. I had to re-do the paper. So yeah, I know what it is. Who knows better, YOU, or an English teacher? Have some humility for once in your life.
This is plagiarism. Your presidential hero is a Category 5 Moron.
Barack Obama
@BarackObama
Kobe was a legend on the court and just getting started in what would have been just as meaningful a second act. To lose Gianna is even more heartbreaking to us as parents. Michelle and I send love and prayers to Vanessa and the entire Bryant family on an unthinkable day.
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Kobe Bryant, despite being one of the truly great basketball players of all time, was just getting started in life. He loved his family so much, and had such strong passion for the future. The loss of his beautiful daughter, Gianna, makes this moment even more devastating.... Melania and I send our warmest condolences to Vanessa and the wonderful Bryant family. May God be with you all!
The Donald's use of the word "despite" is also idiotic. How the hell is being one of the greatest athletes of all time something to be spiteful of? Durr. Republicans do not have a firm grasp of the English language. I'm sure a team of mediocre speech writers helped Baby Garbles re-work Obama's tweet all evening, too. Isn't that special?

I see, so you're not just an idiot you're a complete idiot. And by your own logic Barry should have been thrown in jail: https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2008/02/20/the-obama-plagiarism-scandal/
Aside from both the tweets being about the death of Kobe Bryant I see no evidence of "plagarism", it was an event that everyone was talking about, it's not out of the realm of reality that they would both just happen to tweet about it. And if he didn't make that tweet you would have accused him of racism or whatever, no matter what he does you are going to find something to bitch about, my advice is to get over yourself. Also your attacks on the First Lady are sexist but I'm sure in your poor deluded brain you've found some way to justify your sexism to yourself. Sorry kid, better luck next time.

Here it is all laid out for you in E-Z Formatβ’. The first sentence is Smart President Obamaβ’, and the 2nd is sentence-mangling Moron Trump taking Obama's writing and changing a few words. The parts that were DIRECTLY PLAGIARIZED WORD-FOR-WORD are in **stars**!
-Kobe was a legend on the court
-Kobe Bryant, despite being one of the truly great basketball players of all time
-[Kobe] **was just getting started in** what would have been just as meaningful a second act.
-[Kobe] **was just getting started in** life.
-To lose Gianna is even more heartbreaking to us as parents.
-The loss of his beautiful daughter, Gianna, makes this moment even more devastating
-**Michelle and I send** love and prayers **to Vanessa and the entire Bryant family** on an unthinkable day
-**Melania and I send** our warmest condolences **to Vanessa and the wonderful Bryant family.**
Luckily, The Donald remembered to add his his own wife's name. When you read these, the statements are the same. They follow the exact same structure. It's plagiarized. Simple Donald would never have posted this if Smart President Obamaβ’ hadn't released a heartfelt, genuine statement for him to copy.
The fact that this was plagiarized is why Trump's statement doesn't make sense and is an example of poor writing. Trump was more focused on changing words around rather than the meaning of what he was saying.
Kobe Bryant wasn't "just getting started in life". He was a grown man who had already achieved greatness. Helping others and furthering his legacy is not something he was doing "despite" his legacy, being a basketball star wasn't hampering him. You have to understand English to see this. What Trump wrote actually diminished Bryant's achievements as an NBA player. The fact is Kobe's legacy will continue despite his death. See that? I just used the word despite correctly. I'm smarter than you and The Donald put together, which isn't saying much to be honest.

Nope, I just see two tweets mourning the death of Kobe. I see no evidence of plagiarism and you donβt even understand what plagiarism is and if President Trump said nothing you know youβd call him a racist you disingenuous shit

Donald Trump *is* a racist. You see no evidence of plagiarism because you might be mentally slow, or have reading comprehension problems.
You're actually so stupid that you're arguing it is pure coincidence that Donald Trump copied these lines WORD FOR WORD from President Obama in a statement Trump released two hours after President Obama released his tweet that showed Loser Trump how to be president.
Obama -[Kobe] **was just getting started in**
Trump -[Kobe] **was just getting started in** life.
Obama -**Michelle and I send**
Trump -**Melania and I send**
Obama -**to Vanessa and the entire Bryant family**
Truump-**to Vanessa and the wonderful Bryant family.**
You lost. Move along.

LOL that's your proof? Saying we "send our condolences" or we "send our love" or we "send our thoughts and prayers" those are common phrases that people say after the death of someone and Barack Obama doesn't own a copyright on those phrases you f-cking idiot, LOLOLOL. He's not a racist, that's just a pathetic smear job the left has leveled against him and all you're doing is playing the victim and the fact that you would say that about him just shows that you have some issues with race yourself. I fully believe that you are both racist and sexist, far more than the president is. Seriously man grow up. He did NOT copy anything "word for word", even your own post disproves that. But yeah both tweets used the word "and" that's definite plagarism LOL you are such a joke. And I even posted a link that proved Obummer plagiarized a speech and even admitted to it. If you want an ounce of credibility first you have to prove that Trump even read his tweet before making his. Your entire premise is based upon assumptions. But let's get something straight: In your mind what should Trump have done, when should he have said something about Kobe's death and what is the exact language he could have used that you would have been satisfied with?
How you are able to look at yourself in the mirror every day and not vomit is beyond my realm of understanding.
