UPDATED (11:09 p.m. PT): Updated to include initial Trump campaign statement.

Donald Trump may have brought some theatrics to the opening night of the Republican National Convention, but it's the speech by his wife, Melania Trump, that's now raising eyebrows.

Journalist Jarret Hill tweeted out an accusation shortly after Mrs. Trump's speech on Monday night accusing her of ripping off Michele Obama's speech from the 2008 Democratic National Convention.

It's a baffling revelation, if true, especially given that she's reportedly been working with a speechwriter for the last five or six weeks. A speechwriter who could be facing the campaign's wrath in the morning.

Here's the transcript of Trump's speech, and the video.

From a young age, my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life, that your work is your bond, and you do what you say and keep your promise, that you treat people with respect. They taught and showed me values and morals in their daily lives. That is a lesson that I continue to pass along to our son, and we need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow, because we want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.

Hill included the text of the corresponding speech by Obama in his tweet; the entire transcript can be found at NPR. And for full comparison, here is the corresponding portion of Obama's speech on video.

While the first half of the alleged plagiarism is more similar in theme than in specific words, there's no denying those last few lines are, word for word, what Obama delivered in 2008.

And Hill wasn't the only one to pick up on it.

And plenty of other people had thoughts about the whole affair.

So: Michelle Obama gave the best speech at Donald Trump's convention? — Dan Diamond (@ddiamond) July 19, 2016

The only explanation that could possibly make sense is intentional sabotage. — Brian Ries (@moneyries) July 19, 2016

I feel genuinely bad for Melania. This is probably a staffer’s screw-up from an unprofessional campaign, and she’ll be humiliated over it. — Ezra Klein (@ezraklein) July 19, 2016

After the speech, Trump had his own praise of Melania's performance.

It was truly an honor to introduce my wife, Melania. Her speech and demeanor were absolutely incredible. Very proud! #GOPConvention — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 19, 2016

Later, in the wee hours of Tuesday morning in Cleveland, the Trump campaign put out a clumsy statement that admitted that Trump's "team of writers... included fragments that reflected her own thinking" but didn't outright deny the accusations.

Finally, we'll leave you with what was an apparent Rickroll by Melania in the same speech.

But to reiterate (and to paraphrase @tvoti), the real speechwriter's scandal here is this ACTUAL RICKROLL?!?!?!?!?! pic.twitter.com/eSuFbbVs43 — mr. sonia (@soniasaraiya) July 19, 2016
