Just when you thought this story couldn't get any more ludicrous...

So we've all had great fun this week poking fun at Donald Trump and his wife Melania for a speech she gave at the Republican National Convention that seemed to pay more than an homage to words spoken by Michelle Obama in 2008. The pretty obvious plagiarism charge quickly caught on and the speech went viral, but the Trumps didn't do anything to quell the controversy. Indeed, a statement released the next day only seemed to confuse matters more: https://twitter.com/MELANIATRUMP/status/755288206430576640 Then to add to the craziness, Republican strategist Sean Spicer invoked My Little Pony in his defence of Mrs Trump's lifting of the First Lady's words. https://twitter.com/CNNPolitics/status/755455563979427840     The dodginess of this Meredith McIver story grew even more apparent for conspiracy watchers when it was noted that McIver's Facebook page had literally just been created yesterday.   The Independent notes that McIver also has no verified Twitter account and no LinkedIn profile. However, she does appear to have "co-authored" several of Donald Trump's books with him, as a quick Amazon search shows.   WHAT IS HAPPENING?! The #DoesMeredithMcIverExist story is likely going to rumble on for a while, because it's so utterly bizarre. In the meantime, we might as well have our fun with it.
