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.
weird because 19 years a the same company, this is the first year we have off for the “holiday”. gotta love me some SJW thinking... /s
BINGO
Ummm, Melania has nothing to do with this mess. Nancy can end it in 15 minutes, but she can’t if she’s in Afghanistan. Geez, these people are so clueless.
Good...grind that salt into the wound.
Yesterday, a top-of-the-hour ABC news broadcast stated only that Trump had prevented Pelosi from visiting troops in Afghanistan. Nary a word about her attempt at sedition in Brussels, nor her chicanery in Egypt.
The funniest part is that the media is trying to tell us that Pelosi will be ‘improving military morale’ on that trip.
I cannot IMAGINE ANYONE less likely to improve military morale than Nasty Pelosi.
“”MLK Day isn’t the kind of Holiday people plan vacations around””
I thought it was changed to “MLC” day /s
