So where are Melania and Barron? Why is Trump tweeting that he's alone in the WH?

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.

as are all the staff that runs the White House. They don’t count.

I’m sure no President has ever been alone in the White House. So unless he locked himself onto his toilet to, you know, do his heavy thinking and tweeting, he’s far from being all alone.

When Trump finally snaps, they're going to have to wrap him up to take him to the asylum, like you do with a cat you're taking to the vet.

Our Kitty LOVES to ride. She's been over Hatcher Pass, through Denali Park, down the Parks Highway to Anchorage, and in the other direction, to Tok. She does her harness/leash thing when not in the Jeep, but loves to ride.

I hope Trumpet's keepers bring straight jackets! And extra personnel so none of them get hurt.

He’ll most likely be like his brothers being exposed to a father who only cares how Barron enhances his image. And his mother is a sellout to money. If she’s “protecting” Barron, which she might think she’s doing, she is exposing him to the most emotionally and psychologically abusive kind of parent. She has no clue what bullying is since she seems to think Trump isn’t one.

What’s probably infinitely worse than the heartlessness and indifference of Trump as a father would be actually getting his attention and have him engage on any level.

They couldn't rise above their own problems for a few days to make Barron's Christmas a happy one? They are both such selfish, narcissistic people. Their images mean more to them than their family.
