No one believes Trump speechwriter Meredith McIver is real
Earlier on Wednesday, the Trump campaign finally offered up its sacrificial lamb for Monday's Melania Trump plagiarism snafu: Meredith McIver.
McIver, who apparently helped Trump write some of his books, released a statement accepting responsibility and taking the fall for the incident. The only problem: people are speculating she's not real at all.
Is she a real person? Probably. But Trump has made up people before (twice, at least!) and given how the campaign has gone over the last year, no one would be surprised if Trump did make up a fake speechwriter to take the blame.
