Showing Original Post only (View all)So where are Melania and Barron? Why is Trump tweeting that he's alone in the WH? [View all]
Yesterday there were reports that she was returning from Mar a Lago to the W.H.
Did she fly somewhere else?

I am all alone (poor me) in the White House waiting for the Democrats to come back and make a deal on desperately needed Border Security. At some point the Democrats not wanting to make a deal will cost our Country more money than the Border Wall we are all talking about. Crazy!

First lady Melania Trump traveled down on Friday with their 12-year-old son, Barron Trump, to spend the holidays.
It has long been the family's tradition to spend their Christmas holiday at Mar-a-Lago. Her plans to travel with her son to their Florida home for his winter break have not changed this year, the first lady's spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, told CNN on Friday.
ON UPDATE:

Melania Trump boarded a plane in Palm Beach on Monday afternoon to return to Washington D.C. for Christmas as President Donald Trump complained on Twitter he was 'all alone (poor me) in the White House.'
The first lady, wearing a red coat, appeared to be traveling solo. The first couple's son, 12-year-old Barron, was not spotted.
She boarded a C37A government plane - an adapted Gulfstream V - for the approximately two and half hour flight to the nation's Capitol.

I'll bet any amount of money that Melanoma is PISSED that she had to head back to the white trash

TSA and Post Office and your own Secret Service are working the holiday, too

I hope there is a fight to which the constabulary is forced to respond due to felonious injuries.
