The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon pointed out the ridiculous comparison.
During his monologue on a recent episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, host Jimmy pointed out how President Donald Trump’s latest speech at Liberty University in Virginia sounded “kind of familiar”. Jimmy then compared the President’s speech to a speech given by Reese Witherspoon’s character Elle Woods in the 2001 movie, Legally Blonde.
Side by side, Fallon compared the two speeches via an edited clip. He showed Trump saying, “As long as you have pride in your beliefs, courage in your convictions and faith in your god, then you will not fail … Most importantly, you have to do what you love.” Witherspoon, meanwhile, says in the movie: “It is with passion, courage of conviction and strong sense of self that we take our next steps into the world … You must always have faith in people, and most importantly you must always have faith in yourself.”

It’s not the first time Trump has been accused of plagiarising movie speeches. At his inauguration in January, he was accused of plagiarizing a line from Bane in the Dark Knight Rises movie.
In his inauguration speech, President Trump quoted Batman villain Bane's line, "We give it back to you, the people," almost word-for-word.
