One picture is worth a thousand words.

During Melania Trump’s speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention, news moguls saw a link between her speech and Michelle Obama’s speech in 2008.

The following excerpt is from BBC news article:

"In a section, Mrs Trump said: "My parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise; that you treat people with respect."

Mrs Obama's speech in 2008 carried the lines: "And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say you're going to do; that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don't know them, and even if you don't agree with them."

Mrs Trump's speech continued: "[My parents] taught me to show the values and morals in my daily life. That is the 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."

Mrs Obama said: "And Barack Obama and I set out to build lives guided by these values, and pass them on to the next generations. Because we want our children, and all children in this nation, to know that the only limit to the height of your achievement is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work for them."

I think that is being innovative and creative. For me plagiarism is when you copy paste the other work words by words without putting more value to the context and no mention of the source at all, but maybe they just happen to have the same idea at the same time. It happens actually.
