Melania Trump flew separately to join President Trump for a long Easter weekend at Mar-a-Lago, getting the chance for some quality family time while also contributing to her husband's growing taxpayer-paid travel tab.
The first lady arrived in West Palm Beach Thursday on a government aircraft the military version of a Boeing 757, about 6:30pm, just minutes before her husband landed on Air Force One.
Vice President Mike Pence took the same plane Melania used to a conference in Munich earlier this year.
The first lady lives at Trump Tower with her and the president's son, Barron, whose private school in New York is off this week for spring break.

(13,421 posts)She hates him SO much she can't stand to even be on the same plane with him? I completely get not wanting to have to sleep with that pig, and I'm sympathetic to the idea of not wanting to live around him. (Yes, she did make the choice to marry him, and yes, I do think it was a money driven decision. I still have a quiet little feeling of sympathy for anybody that is tied to him. Call me a sucker if ya want!) How far gone do you have to be that you can't even share an airplane with the man?
Jeesh.

(3,335 posts)be the last. They think they are royalty. The first trip they took to Mar-a-Lago after he was inaugurated, and they had a foreign visitors (I can't recall for sure, but I think it was the Japanese President/Prime Minister], she flew from New York to Joint Base Andrews where she met up with Trump and then they both flew down to Florida. I was watching and when his limo pulled in, she came out of a building and one of the news reporters stated that she had flown in and arrived a short time earlier. She walked up to him at the bottom of Air Force One, barely acknowledging him and then they both turned to the audience and waved and then they both walked up the stairs to the aircraft, again both turning and giving the usual fake wave. I assumed that Barron was already on the plane, though nothing was mentioned about him.
