My apology, by Melania Trump
Dear Americans,
Last night, I gave a speech that I hoped would capture both the love I have for my husband Donald Trump and my appreciation for this great country. In the speech, I inadvertently borrowed some language from a previous speech delivered by Michelle Obama.
I’d like to take this moment to apologize. Is it too late now to say sorry? Yeah, I know that I let you down; is it too late to say I’m sorry now?
This is me swallowing my pride—standing in front of you, saying I’m sorry for that night. I was alone, I took a ride, I didn’t know what I would find there.
I’m just a poor girl; I need no sympathy. I’m easy-come, easy-go. Little high, little low.
But I know that I’ve let you down. What else could I write? I don’t have the right. What else should I be? All apologies.
But before you abuse, criticize and accuse: Walk a mile in my shoes. I hopped off the plane at LAX with a dream and my cardigan. This is all so crazy! Everyone seems so famous!
