Melania Trump was once again mocked for plagiarism after President Donald Trump unveiled the new Space Force logo.

A few days back, the president shared the new logo for the United States Space Force. However, the design raised eyebrows because it was too similar to Star Trek’s logo. Due to this, Melania was dragged to the issue, with some claiming that the FLOTUS influenced the design.

“President Trump has revealed the new logo for the U.S. Space Force. I hear Melania came up with the design,” @CJ_Makaryk commented with a wink emoji.

“Melania Trump's hand is noticeable,” one commented.

“How much you want to bet Melania did this?...” another Twitter user wrote.

“Yeah, she fits right in with the family. trumps are always taking things that don't belong to them you know: speaches, slogans, symbols, someone's ideas, taxpayers money .......... just my thoughts,” @RKCowgirl_Life added.

“Maybe Melania got to design it just like when she wrote her convention speech,” @IlliniMBA commented.

Melania has been criticized for plagiarism issues for several reasons. She was first accused of plagiarism in 2016 because her speech at the Republican National Convention was too similar to Michelle Obama’s remarks at the Democratic National Convention in Denver on Aug. 25, 2008.

Although may attacked Melania for her controversial speech, several also defended the FLOTUS. On the online forum Quora, a number of online users blamed her “lazy and incompetent staff” because they weren’t up to the task.

Meredith McIver took the blame for the controversy. She admitted that she included passages of Michelle’s speech in Melania’s address and felt terrible for the chaos she caused. She added that it was an innocent mistake.

The same issue resurfaced when the netizens noticed that her signature was too similar to her husband’s. However, handwriting analyst Sheila Kurtz said that it was “definitely stylized.”
