Last week, Meredith McIver, an employee of the Trump Organisation, apologised for her role in the bungled Melania Trump’s speech at the Republican National Convention that was partly picked from Michelle Obama’s earlier speech.

This is the elaborately decorated house that the Trump family calls home.
