Donald Trump’s wife, Melania, was supposed to be the biggest speaker of the first night of the 2016 GOP convention, and in a way she was. Her speech–part of which was lifted from a 2008 address by Michelle Obama–is the talk of the news media and internet. So while Mrs. Trump was supposed to give a speech that would humanize the Orange Cheeto, all she did was further complicate matters for the presumptive nominee.
As you might expect, Twitter has been ablaze with not just lots of Melania mocking, but a whole new hashtag: #FamousMelaniaTrumpQuotes. Some of the postings using the newly-created hashtag are brilliant and funny as hell:

Let’s see, Tuesday night maybe the Republicans can just go all the way and give John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address, with a few modifications:
“Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your copy and paste function.”
