Actually, that still is a problem.

Because it has been used before in public and is not his own words, it does not matter that it is his speechwriter's words. It is plagiarism all the same. He used another person's public words without quoting them. It is just as bad as his step-mother's usage from last night, with the only difference being that he ripped off the ideas of someone he was working with vs someone else entirely.

Ethically, that is both poor form and lazy. Shows poorly on him as well because there are no ideas of his own there at all.
