Melania Trump reportedly heading to Mar-a-Lago on government jet

Hours after President Trump grounded House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s planned trip to visit the troops in Afghanistan, first lady Melania Trump was winging her way to Mar-a-Lago — on a government jet.

Politico writer Jake Sherman made the discovery while listening to air traffic control and noted that EXEC1F was headed to Palm Beach airport.

“EXEC1F appears to be headed to Palm Beach. ATC just said they will have to do some serious vectoring to get the plane in line with the rest of the Palm Beach traffic,” he tweeted.

“EXEC1F is typically the callsign for a plane with the first lady on it.”

Twitter took notice.

“So Trump denies the Speaker of the House the ability to visit troops in Afghanistan, but Melania gets to take a trip to Florida ahead of the holiday weekend,” tweeted pollster Matt McDermott. 

Trump canceled Pelosi’s secret visit, citing the government shutdown, a day after she urged him to postpone the State of the Union address.
