Melania Trump reportedly took a military plane to Florida, hours after Trump canceled Nancy Pelosi's flight because of the shutdown

Actually, and unfortunately I will have to defend this. The flight was already planned months in advanced. That is if this was truly a military flight. She most likely flew in the back of a C130 with a bunch of cargo destined to a base to Florida, then got a ride to Mar-a-lago or w/e.

I used to fly these all the time, the flights are literally free or very very cheap to just hop in and go anywhere in the world the military goes. But you HAVE to plan months in advance and popular destinations are already on a waitlist the moment they’re posted.

The worst one I took I came from Guam to Hawaii, in shorts and a tank top and sat on the floor next to 8 terminally ill people while it was like 10 degrees. These flights aren’t comfy.
