First Lady Melania Trump flew to Florida on a government jet Thursday for a weekend vacation, hours after President Donald Trump dramatically postponed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trip with other members of Congress to visit U.S. troops in Afghanistan, NBC confirmed, citing a law enforcement source.
President Trump cited the ongoing government shutdown as his reason for postponing Pelosi’s travel plans, shortly before she and her team were scheduled to depart on a military plane.
While Pelosi was practically grounded by Trump’s actions, the president’s wife headed to Joint Base Andrews for her own trip on a military aircraft, NBC said.
The first lady is expected to be in Florida for the holiday weekend at her family’s private Mar-a-Lago resort, according to NBC, which reported that the president is set to stay in Washington.
CNN said the flight to Palm Beach was previously scheduled.
The flight was officially designated EXEC1F, a call-sign known to be used when members of a president’s family are aboard a military plane. The jet was a Boeing C32-A, which is the same kind of plane used to transport the president, the first lady, the vice president and the secretary of state.
This is a classic Trump spike the football. Love it! Moron libs think this is a 'gotcha' when it just shows Trump won bigly.
He needs to cut off their heaters and ax their security details.
waaaaaaaaa
Melania is not responsible to negotiate opening the government.
She wasn’t flying to Europe to sabotage the President. You know Pelosi was.
>> is expected to be in Florida for the holiday weekend
MLK Day isn’t the kind of Holiday people plan vacations around
“He needs to cut off their heaters and ax their security details. “
Well Trump should extend his withholding of government aircraft to grounding the taxpayer-funded 757 that Pelousey parties on to and from San Francisco with that gaggle of $hit she calls friends and associates.
RHIP
Isn’t that special!
Melania is the FLOTUS. San Fran Nan is a DOOFUS!
But Moochelle taking an entourage of 50 people to some s—thole in Africa for $100 million is OK though.
She ain’t negotiating, she’s the boss. Nasty is just a peon. Pronounced “pee-on”. Better get an emberella Nasty. It’s wet where you’re at. Heeheee!!
And your point is?
Just in time...the mediaVOMITS to the rats rescue!! AMERICA’S ENEMY!!! YELLOW VEST THE BASTARDS!!
Exactly, the First Lady isn’t ducking out of her job like Pelosi.
Good.
I hope she enjoyed her flight.
The more the media talks about this the better.
Whatta bout MLK Ski Day?
My cheap, somewhat limited, season pass is blacked out that week.
YMMV
So Nancy isn’t the most powerful woman in the world? lol.
It’s a stretch to call this a “holiday weekend”. It’s a weekend that has a federal holiday after it.
Turns out this President
has a phone
and a pen
and the keys to the jet.
