https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/12/07/first-lady-wishes-spend-holiday-deserted-island/933300001/If she could spend the holidays anywhere in the world, Melania Trump says shed take her family to a deserted, tropical island.
The first lady revealed her wish Thursday during a Christmastime visit with patients and staff at Childrens National hospital in the nations capital as she continued a holiday tradition begun more than 60 years ago by first lady Bess Truman.
After touring the neuroscience center and meeting privately with some patients, Mrs. Trump was escorted by Santa Claus to the atrium where she took a seat in front of a large Christmas tree and fielded a handful of questions from children and patients.
Ten-year-old Andy asked the first lady where she would spend the holidays if she could go anywhere in the world. Her answer prompted laughter.
I would spend my holidays on a deserted island, tropical island with my family, she said.

(63,941 posts)the 1st first lady who is not very enthused with her position, she never wanted to be 1st lady. I am sure DT would not be joining her in her request.

(32,098 posts)Especially if this island is in a hurricane-prone area, so that when one hits, they'll know what Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands are enduring Force 'em to have to live with each other for the rest of their miserable, stinking lives. I can't think of a worse punishment for them, other than having all their assets confiscated and redistributed to poor, brown people.
