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.
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?
Make that FLOTUS.
LOL
Love it, Dems and Liberal Media totally lose it over Fancy Nancy being denied a TaxPayer Flight with Entourage during a Gov.ShutDown.. What the @$^& is she thinking??....
I doubt that. And doesn't SecState use a smaller plane?
I’ll bet he sent Melania just to rub it in.
Thats BS. Why the goose? The broom not good enough for Nasty?
Oh well.
Not when its packed to the gills with lobbyists, the press, several gaggles of non-essential suckings and the plethora of miscellaneous ass kissers......
...and it wouldnt surprise me if Nancy then happened to slip into an Air Force Jet Stream so she didnt have to mingle with the little folk.
Like shes supposed to go home on weekends via SWA?
That is brilliant
Melania FLOTUS
SAFRAN Nan DOOFUS
Cam I use?
LMAO!
Maybe she'll be bitten. Geese can be nasty.
Intentional or not, Melania Trump's Gucci pussy-bow blouse made a statement at the debate https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/entertainthis/2016/10/10/melania-trump-gucci-pussy-bow-blouse-presidential-debate/91845914/
.
So what?
Any quotes from Pelosi in the last 24 hours?
Excellent.
The FLOTUS is after all, actually doing HER job.
(dont even care if its vacation either)
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.
