Former first lady Melania Trump announced her upcoming memoir on Thursday and was immediately mocked on social media with an awkward blast from the past.
Melania is a powerful and inspiring story of a woman who has carved her own path, overcome adversity and defined personal excellence, according to the promotional blurb for the book thats due out this fall.
But many critics just wanted to know if it would bear any resemblance to fellow former FLOTUS Michelle Obamas bestselling 2018 book Becoming.
Its because Melania Trumps 2016 Republican National Convention address in support of her husband, the current GOP nominee Donald Trump, contained several lines that had been ripped from Obamas speech at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.

Since stepping into public life reluctantly, I've been held up as most powerful woman in the world and taken down as "mad Black woman." I wanted to ask the detractors which part of that sentence matter to them most--is it "mad" is it "Black or is it "woman"? I smile for pictures with people who call my husband ugly names on national TV, but still want a keepsake on their mantel.
There is much I don't know about America, about life, about what the future holds. But I know me. My father, Frazier, taught me to work hard, don't smile too much, and keep my word. My mother, Mary Ann, showed me how to think for myself and use my voice.
Yeah, no similarities there.🤡🤣
