People Are Starting to Wonder If Melania Speechwriter Meredith McIver Really Exists
A Donald Trump staffer came forward today to take responsibility for the Melania Trump speech plagiarism, but there is actually a conspiracy theory going around that Meredith McIver doesn’t exist. Seriously:
did we figure out whether or not meredith mciver is real

C'mon, guys, Meredith McIver is a real person. She's married to Trump's media spokesman John Miller.

"Meredith McIver" is an anagram for "Deceit River…Hmm." Hmm…

Meredith McIver is absolutely real. I just confirmed it with her supervisor and Communication's Consultant Mr. Dumbledore.

News outlets are citing Meredith McIver's Speakerpedia page as proof she exists. I'm going to need to see her long form birth certificate.

Okay, let’s just all take a deep breath here. It’s certainly wouldn’t be the craziest thing ever for Trump to have a fake person to speak on his behalf. Remember “John Miller”?
But there are some indications that McIver is a real person. First, this photo appears to depict McIver, based on an online caption:

Also…
Meredith McIver, woman who apparently wrote #Melania's speech, is apparently registered Democrat. No votes since '04 pic.twitter.com/8h9narLPqJ

And finally, if McIver was made up, she certainly wasn’t made up today, because take a look at who is credited as a co-writer on some of Trump’s books:




And now, our most important proof of all:
I've had many dealings with @realDonaldTrump's aide Meredith McIver. Very smart, very loyal lady. Feel for her. https://t.co/QRtnHrqLCW
