The president’s spokeswoman, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, cited the government shutdown.

If the shutdown is preventing flights, I assume that means all flights for politicians, including Trump.

actions. As she's said, she's had kids and knows how they act, when they have a temper tantrum. Sure, let's do tit for tat, rump.

The letter doesn't stop Nancy P. from going at all, if she chooses to still go. It simply denies her the use of a plane.

Gee, I wonder how much thought went into crafting this childish response to Nancy P.? Oh wait, it was probably s. miller and rump who wrote the response...wah wah wah!! Bunch of big babies. How presidential.

access to a military flight overseas is that he has totally boxed himself off from taking any trip to any of the Trump properties for golfing. He also as actually boxed himself out of using Air Force 1 for campaign trips. The WH has turned into his own personal prison since he hates staying there during this shutdown.
