First lady Melania flies to Florida on government jet after Trump postpones Pelosi’s trip
CNBC ^

Posted on 01/17/2019 7:44:35 PM PST by TigerClaws

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.

WARNING, EXTREME SARCASM AHEAD...

I wasn’t aware that the FLOUTUS is running Congress during a Government Shutdown.

Shall I assume she is against the Wall too?

I doubt that. And doesn't SecState use a smaller plane?

THE TRUTH, which the main-SLIME media HATES, is that the 1st Lady cannot fly COMMERCIAL. - The USSS would died of conniption fits, IF she said that she would.
