President Trump and First Lady Melania have stayed in Washington, other than going to visit U.S. troops in Iraq and Germany, during the government shutdown.

Meanwhile, House minority leader Nancy Pelosi decided to do something much different.

Mrs. Pelosi was spotted at The Fairmont Orchid resort, a five-star luxury destination in Hawaii, where rooms range from $1,000 to $5,000 per night, according to the Washington Free Beacon.

The resort features an award-winning ‘Spa without walls,’ a Beach club offering ocean and cultural activities, six restaurants, a children’s program (for Pelosi’s grandkids), and a 10,000 square foot oceanfront pool.

President Donald Trump, however, canceled his trip to Mar-A-Lago, his luxury Palm Beach, Fla. resort amid the ongoing government shutdown.

Mr. Trump told reporters on Christmas Eve at the White House that he was “waiting for the Democrats to come back and make a deal.”

“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!” he tweeted on Christmas Eve, hours before departing the White House for Andrews Air Force Base, where he boarded Air Force One to visit U.S. troops in Iraq and later Germany.

“This isn’t about the Wall, everybody knows that a Wall will work perfectly (In Israel the Wall works 99.9%). This is only about the Dems not letting Donald Trump & the Republicans have a win. They may have the 10 Senate votes, but we have the issue, Border Security. 2020!” Mr. Trump tweeted on Thursday, referring to the 60-vote threshold that must be reached in the Senate to pass legislation.

Republicans currently have a 51-vote majority in the Senate, not enough to pass legislation funding the president’s border wall.

Mrs. Pelosi has spent Christmas in Hawaii in years past, according to a 2011 article by Business Insider, which said that Pelosi previously stayed in a $10,000-per-night suite at the Four Seasons resort in Kona.

CNN criticizes Trump supporters getting hats signed: ‘Completely inappropriate for troops to do this’

The mainstream media hates President Trump and will shame anyone who supports him — including our fighting men and women.

The Commander-in-Chief made a surprise visit to Iraq yesterday, and some service members enthusiastically showed their support.

One soldier told Trump he returned to the Army because of him.

“And I am here because of you,” the President responded, according to Sarah Sanders.

But the love was all too much for the media, and they sought to shame the Trump supporters.

Bloomberg’s Jennifer Epstein tweeted photos of red hats and a Trump flag in the room.

“She dropped it after she saw me taking a photo,” Epstein added in parentheses.

Meanwhile, CNN went so far as to accuse the Trump supporters of violating “a military rule.”

CNN White House reporter Jim Acosta used the moment to scrutinize the actions of the military personnel.

“It is in fact a campaign slogan, that is a campaign item, and it is completely inappropriate for the troops to do this,” Retired Rear Adm. John Kirby, a former Obama administration spokesman-turned CNN contributor, said.

“Every time he’s around military audiences,” Kirby said, referring to Trump, “he tends to politicize it, and he brings in complaints and grievances from outside the realm of military policy.”

CNN reported Army guidelines state “active duty personnel may not engage in partisan political activities and all military personnel should avoid the inference that their political activities imply or appear to imply DoD sponsorship, approval, or endorsement of a political candidate, campaign, or cause.”

But CNN didn’t report on this:

Will CNN report on Melania Trump’s visit to Iraq — a first for a First Lady?
