Hours after President Donald Trump abruptly canceled House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s flight on a military aircraft to visit troops in Afghanistan with a congressional delegation, Melania Trump jetted down to Mar-a-Lago in Florida for vacation — on an Air Force plane. The first lady boarded the military jet on Thursday at Andrews Air Force Base, NBC and other media outlets reported. Quartz estimated the cost of the vacation flight at $35,000. On Thursday, Trump wrote to Pelosi that he was canceling her foreign flight “due to the shutdown.” He added: “In light of 800,000 great American workers not receiving any pay, I am sure you would agree that postponing this public relations event is totally appropriate.”

"The View" aired a segment Monday joking about an ongoing internet theory that first lady Melania Trump occasionally uses a body double. Trump's team is not happy. "Some people think the first lady is using an impostor to stand in for her," "The View" co-host Joy Behar began. "You mean there are two women who have to pretend they're listening to (President Trump)?" "I’ve always found it sad that a group of women spend so much time attacking another woman, whose only goal is to help children," Melania Trump's representative, Stephanie Grisham, wrote in an email to USA TODAY. "Yesterday’s show went beyond the petty, mean-girl spirit that we’ve grown accustomed to." The Trumps visited Beauregard, Alabama, on Friday to survey damage caused by a major tornado that ripped through the state and killed 23 people. The online conspiracy theory resurfaced over the weekend after photos of Melania Trump wearing large sunglasses surfaced and made some social media users wonder if the woman photographed was actually the first lady.

First lady Melania Trump will celebrate her birthday Friday with a private dinner in the White House residence. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe and his wife, Akie Abe, who are visiting the U.S. this week, will attend. “There will be a dinner celebration in the residence. The Abe's will attend,” Stephanie Grisham, the first lady's spokeswoman, told the Daily Mail. The first lady also spent her last birthday in the White House residence with her family. The president publicly wished his wife a happy birthday last year during a phone interview with “Fox & Friends.” When asked what he got the first lady for the special day, Trump said he didn’t have time to put much thought into a gift. “I better not get into that because I may get into trouble. Maybe I didn’t get her so much,” he explained. “I got her a beautiful card. I’m very busy to be running out looking for presents. I got her a beautiful card and some beautiful flowers.”

A picture of the First Lady sitting alone on a sofa in a green coat has been repeatedly edited by social media users. The White House shared the photo on their official Twitter page with the comment “Happy Birthday FLOTUS!” The picture of Melania Trump has come under fire for not being a typical happy photo to mark a celebration. The photo includes a team of photographers focusing on something out of view and not her. The picture doesn’t include her husband US President Donald Trump or son Barron Trump. She was also pictured in March when meeting Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis.

Melania Trump is celebrating her 49th birthday on Friday with a dinner at the White House with Japan's first couple. And although her husband has yet to tweet about his wife's birthday, the White House's official Twitter account marked the occasion with a photo and a message for the mom-of-one. The photo, which was taken during a meeting with the Czech Republic's prime minister Andrej Babiš, shows the first lady sitting on a couch in the Oval Office surrounded by press. While some were quick to respond to the photo with their own well wishes for Trump, others saw it as an opportunity for a meme. One photoshopped picture shows her sitting alongside Putin, while another photoshopped the president, clad in a tank top and pizza in hand, beside her. Some critics wondered why the White House didn't choose another photo of her during one of her initiatives.
