Would you consider this plagiarism?
There is an idea that Joe Biden saying "Buy American" is him plagiarising Donald Trump's "America first" slogan.
Personally, I don't see this as plagiarism because they are two completely different phrases and people have been saying "buy American" for years, if not decades.

You may not remember, but many years ago there was quite a kerfuffle about him engaging in real plagiarism. Just like Mrs. Trump.

The Buy American Act passed in 1933 by Congress and signed by President Hoover. That was before Trump (or Biden) was even born.

Yeah, agree with you, that isn't any new line, all of two words, that one random person came up with recently, it's just been a statement for a long time. Do those Trump supporters think no one else is allowed to mention the country...?

The "Buy American" term has been in use since 1933, at least, when the Buy American Act was passed.
It is hardly plagiarism for Joe Biden to use a phrase that has been part of the American vocabulary for nearly 90 years. Who could possibly be claiming that it is?

Plagiarism is a crime in intellectual circles. Cite a reference and plagiarism charges are dropped.
