Kerry Seymour-Major agreed with Gery and said, "doesn't matter who wrote it. Plagiarism is plagiarism.

Viewers also said the phrases were very generic, including Nancy Lane Wood, who said, "I have used the exact same phrases myself...if you look back I am sure you will hear the same thing at some point from Jackie Kennedy as well."
The Trump campaign responded to the plagiarism allegations calling them "absurd" and said the words Melania used were common.
