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 Pelosis 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 Pelosis travel plans, shortly before she and her team were scheduled to depart on a military plane.
While Pelosi was practically grounded by Trumps actions, the presidents 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 familys 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 presidents 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.
Pull the Trump jet out of storage, and paint a middle finger on the tail with the word Nancy under it.
You go, Girl!
....and the Rat media had NOTHING to say about the outrageous travel and vacation bills Chewbacca and her dozens of ladies-in-waiting ran up.
So guess what, you stupid Rats and your Rat Queen: Trump is President, and you are NOT. You are insignificant little ticks, nothings and nobodies.
It’s good to be Queen
Hey my birthday is the 21st. Since Im retired I get a 3 day weekend. Hope FLOTUS has a great time. Hope Nasty gets crabs.
Aaannnnnnddd? ;-)
“She wasnt flying to Europe to sabotage the President. You know Pelosi was.”
Correct. meeting with our enemies to cut down a sitting president. If this was the 1800’s she would have been hung complete with picnic tables...
Sorry CNBC, but as much as you would love to report it, Trump did not stop Pelosi from buying a plane ticket. She was not grounded, she was not practically grounded, she just had to take a different plane. Get it?
Pelosi is actually Frack of the Schumer Pelosi team Frick and Frack.
The liberal view will be that it’s unfair, that Melania gets to go somewhere, but Nancy was grounded.
Pelosi is third in line to be president. It should be argued she is too important to be traveling overseas during this time of government shutdown crisis.
Beyond that, every politician should be at their post in Washington for the duration.
Eat your heart out Nancy. FLOTUS doesn’t ever have to worry about flying. It seems her husband owns a nice big jet.
HAHA! Well Pelosi’s not the FLOTUS...though she’s certainly letting her position go to her head. I love it! Go Melania Go!
Yeah, I like the fact he’s rubbing their noses in it.
Pelosi said she was “equal” to the POTUS per the Constitution.
Oops!
Forgot about that whole “Commander in Chief” thing.
Trump needs to close the Congressional gym next. Lock it up and make sure Fox is there with cameras as Dems try to get in.
And POTUS doesnt take s salary
shes not an elected office holder.. so suck on it dems.
