Melania stole parts of her speech from Michelle Obama.

I keep finding stuff like this: Not that they literally said the exact same thing; but Mrs. Trump's comments bear far more similiarities. Literally duplicated entire phrases.
Supposedly the chances of it not being plagiarism are like 1 in a trillion.
Goal as in be president?  
They are appealing to opposite audiences though, and have very different goals.

So? Have you ever heard of the American dream?
the ideal that every US citizen should have an equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity through hard work, determination, and initiative.

A key element of the American Dream is promoting opportunity for one's children, Johnson interviewing parents says, "This was one of the most salient features of the interview data: parents—regardless of background—relied heavily on the American Dream to understand the possibilities for children, especially their own children."[51] Rank et al. argue, "The hopes and optimism that Americans possess pertain not only to their own lives, but to their children's lives as well. A fundamental aspect of the American Dream has always been the expectation that the next generation should do better than the previous generation."


Pretty much generic "this is the American dream" tripe in both speeches

Sure the concept is generic.
But if you ask 10 people what the American Dream is, they are going to give similar but different answers, none of them are going to give word for word the same answer.  
Just like if I ask 10 people to smash their hand on the keyboard, they are going to give different keys.  Two people happen to type exactly the same thing in exactly the same order, is plagiarism.  Any high school teacher would fail you if you turned in something that similar.

It's one of those not really so bad things that people make a big deal about it.  Especially in academia.  Where it could basically be a career ending mistake.
There are lots of ways to say it differently.

Ask 10 professional speech writers to write a 5 min speech on the American dream and you'll get 10 identical answers
