June 8, 2018 - the lying con in the WH said the third lady couldn't fly for a month, so

Why was she able to fly to TX?

As Donald Trump headed north for the G7 summit without wife Melania by his side, the commander in chief assured reporters that the first lady is “doing great” — but can’t fly on doctors’ orders.

“She wanted to go,” the president told reporters Friday morning before boarding Marine One en route to Quebec for the G7. “Can’t fly for one month.”

a million dollars to tell his racist base, wink wink.

They aren't thinking about who gonna pay for all this, they are just running around and worried about becoming a white minority.

She flew in the US before this flight and after the surgery if I recall correctly.
Perhaps her immigrant papers are not in order and she fears for Baron and herself?

Wouldn't that poetic justice.

It is, after all, Trump's natural home. Some guy gets worked over but good, and he's out on his feet or laying supine and helpless in the middle of the mat. His opponent is about to administer the coup-de-grace and win the match. But wait! He rolls out of the way at the last moment! And now, spurred on by the crowd, he's coming back! Another testament to the incredible recuperative powers of these world class ath-a-letes!

Same thing here: Melania was practically on her death bed. The nation held its collective breath as the Third Lady hovered between life and death. Doctors issued hourly reports to a rapt country, which hung on every new development. Would Melania live? Prayer groups stood vigil everywhere. Women fainted from the pressure. Strong men wept openly. Melania couldn't leave her bed of pain even to go to the G-7 summit. The President, sensitive as always, sorrowfully intoned that as great as Melania was doing (such fortitude!), and as much as she wanted to go (so brave), the doctors had forbidden her to fly for a month. The mood of the nation turned a little darker and feared the worst.

But then, a scant two weeks later, the unexpected happened! The Third Lady rallied and paid a "surprise" visit to Texas. What was the magic that healed her and caused the nation to rejoice? It can now be told: A new jacket.
