Melania returned to DC last night

[spotthebird]

Her trip to Florida yesterday was known because the jet she was on is labeled EXEC1F. That callsign is only used if FLOTUS is on the plane. If she isn't on board a different callsign is used. Well, when the plane returned to Andrews AFB last night its callsign was EXEC1F. She returned to Washington shortly after she landed in Florida.

1. If true,

that's a total waste of our funds - not even going into the environmental impact.

[Zoonart]

3. Exactly... let me get this straight...

during the shutdown the taxpayers paid to fly Melanie round trip for shits and giggles?
What idiots.

[spotthebird]

10. They likely had to get her back before all government paid flights

were prohibited. And they want to deny she was in Florida.

But those are just guesses.

2. Did she forget a brooch or a tiara or something?

[NurseJackie]

5. I was thinking maybe she left the electric iron on...

... but, silly me... she probably doesn't even know what an electric iron is!

6. There is a better chance she forgot Barron. NT

9. let them eat hambergerds

[Hermit-The-Prog]

11. she needed to pee

but traitor Donald was on the throne tweeting.

25. but, she stands

he sits, work out the logistics.

13. The pre-nup documents? (They were married in Florida.)

[FSogol]

15. Picking up two cases of Adderal.

[gademocrat7]

4. WTF??

[Arkansas Granny]

7. I wonder if Trump will deny that she went to Florida at all and blame "fake news".

[2naSalit]

8. Make a contact

that should have happened over the holidays? Bring someone illegally into the WH?

[alittlelark]

23. That's my guess too.....

12. I'm guessing the pool boy did his job. n/t

14. 10 points!

[2naSalit]

16. LOL!

[underpants]

19. Just. About. To. Post. The. Same.

[rzemanfl]

26. Wonderful response! n/t

17. I can imagine the bickering that is ongoing

in our house. Someone will snap pretty soon.

18. The press reports she went to Florida

I'm wondering if the crew screwed up on the ID. No press about her return.

White House official said the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend trip was long-planned and is being spent with her son.

Above is from CNN https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/01/18/politics/melania-trump-shutdown/index.html

21. That isn't a mistake they would make

The press doesn't know yet. It wasn't handed to them after all.

When she shows up at the WH and Trump says she never left they will report that.

[Yonnie3]

22. We will see, or perhaps we will never know.

I had posted elsewhere on DU that tweet and did some research. I don't know where she is and there are no reports of actual sightings at any location.


IDs have been incorrectly reported infrequently and never for VIPs that I recall.

In any case this trip reeks of privilege.

[rustysgurl]

20. She forgot to say ...

... Donald, may I?

[tblue37]

24. She and Trump's offspring fly a lot on our dime, and, of course, their SS protection is

not getting paid.

[appleannie1943]

27. Hiding evidence? Passing info to the enemy? Or just being a female dick?

[TeamPooka]

33. The Manchurian Trophy Wife.

[Grasswire2]

28. Compare to flights coming in from Russia and yachts docked nearby

I have come to think she's a mule carrying messages between the oligarchs who visit Palm Beach and Trump.

[2naSalit]

30. Same here.

[Achilleaze]

31. Bingo!

[dawg day]

29. Booty call?

Or spiriting cash to the family safe?

[Kingofalldems]

32. Kick and rec.
