DALAWANG araw matapos tumanggi sa pagkakamali, naglabas ang kampo ni Donald Trump ng isang liham noong Miyerkules mula sa writer na sinasabing naghain ito ng resignation dahil sa kontrobersiya na idinulot ng Republican National Convention speech ni Melania Trump.
Sinabi ng writer na si Meredith McIver, na hindi niya sinasadyang kunin ang ilang bahagi sa speech ni Michelle Obama habang ginagawa ang draft para sa talumpati ni Melania.
“We discussed many people who inspired her and messages she wanted to share with the American people,” saad ni McIver. “A person she has always liked is Michelle Obama. Over the phone, she read me some passages from Mrs. Obama’s speech as examples. … I did not check Mrs. Obama’s draft speeches.”

“This was my mistake, and I feel terrible for the chaos I have caused Melania and the Trumps, as well as to Mrs. Obama,” saad pa ni McIver. “No harm was meant.”
Ayon kay McIver, nag-alok siyang magbitiw sa pamilya ni Trump noong Martes, ngunit hindi ito tinanggap.
“Mr. Trump told me that people make innocent mistakes and that we learn and grow from these experiences,” sulat niya.
Ipinakilala ni McIver ang sarili bilang “in-house staff writer at the Trump Organization,” at ang liham ay inilabas gamit ang corporate letterhead ni Trump sa halip na sa kampanya ng huli.
Ayon sa New York Times, si McIver ay “former ballet dancer and English major who has worked on some of Mr. Trump’s books, including Think Like a Billionaire. ”
“I apologize for the confusion and hysteria my mistake has caused,” saad pa ni McIver. “I personally admire the way Mr. Trump has handled this situation and I am grateful for his understanding.”
Ang kanyang apology ay kasunod ng pambansang kontrobersiya na nagpahirap sa Trump campaign at sa leading Republicans na ipaliwanag ang pagkakahawig ng talumpati ni Melania Trump sa speeh na ibinigay ni Michelle Obama walong taon na ang nakalilipas. (Yahoo Entertainment)
