Melania's flying back to have Christmas with her honeybunch. So sweet! Fa la la la la, la la la la.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The White House announced on Saturday that President Trump will not take his scheduled Christmas vacation in South Florida, citing the government shutdown.

“Due to the shutdown, President Trump will remain in Washington, D.C. and the first lady will return from Florida so they can spend Christmas together,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement.

Spending taxpayer money and glamour shots seem to be all she does, except whine about being most bullied person “on” the world.

He never misses an opportunity to bill the government for his own gain. The vacay will just start a little later, like maybe Monday or Tuesday.

He's not going to go quietly. This whole process is just going to be embarrassing for everyone. Bring on the pee tape and give him a pistol. But, don't worry he'll screw that up too. Caligula has nothing on this clown.

Drop him off in Palm Beach to spend Christmas with "the help"? Isn't it bad enough he didn't make it onto the tRump Christmas card? He really is the forgotten one, isn't he?

"Merry Christmas, you...you...you tRump kid, you. What's your name again?"

We know from her last birthday that Trump doesn't know how to gift anyone but himself. He'll probably send someone out to get her a Trumpy Bear.

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump admitted on Fox News that he's been too busy to get a birthday gift for his wife, first lady Melania Trump, who turned 48 years old Thursday.

When asked during a telephone interview on Fox & Friends what Trump bought the first lady for her birthday he responded with a laugh," Well, I better not get into that 'cause I may get in trouble. Maybe I didn't get her so much."

Trump added that he did get the first lady "a beautiful card and some beautiful flowers."
"You know, I'm very busy to be running out looking for presents, OK?" Trump said.
