if Trump wanted to he could deny Pelosi access to any military transportation and make her fly commercial for the next 2 years when she returns to her district or anywhere else. He's Commander-in-Chief, he controls use of military equipment.

Melania’s in Palm Beach. After a flight on a US government plane. Don’t try to pretend Trump cares about anyone but Trump.
He does care about the Kremlin.

Does Melania have any power to negotiate a deal to end the shutdown? Pelosi and her delegation do, so they should stay in Washington and do it.

The majority often doesn’t know what is good for them.

Exhibit A- Barack Obama
Exhibit B- Barack Obama
Exhibit C- You guessed it...Barack Hussein Obama!

by law she's afforded Secret Service protection. SS protection doesn't allow for commercial air travel. If Pelosi wants to fly military planes she needs to get elected President. Otherwise, it's at Trump's discretion.

You don't think the optics are bad? The FLOTUS blowing tens of thousands on a flight to Florida for absolutely no reason during a shutdown?

Pelosi already offered border security money. Trump wants a WALL or he won't deal. Period. So, he's holding the country hostage to get money for a project that has the support of less than half the country.

That makes no sense whatsoever.

Yes, everyone wants better immigration laws and improved border security, but the support for the Great Wall of Trump is just not there.

Explain what President Obama's middle name has to do with anything other than a dog whistle.
