Because Trump is rich enough to pay the employees and gas himself.
I guess you don't know about Milania taking an Air Force jet to vacation in Florida the same day Trump pulled Speaker Pelosi's plane for her diplomatic trip.

Well, the state of the government is not being determined by Melania. Remember, Trump canceled Pelosi's flight because she is a key leader for getting the government running. Not Melania. I couldn't care less where Melania goes.

First off you need to delete the funny emotie because my comment was not meant to be humorous and that's considered goading.

>> In light of the 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay, I am sure you would agree that postponing this public relations event is totally appropriate. <<

Yet it's perfectly fine, in light of 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay, for Melania to take an Air Force jet to Florida for a vacation to work on her tan.

That line from Animal Farm comes to mind.

No civil servant would engage in petty dictatorial garbage like that just to curry favor with someone unlikely to have a second term.
Did anyone say that they expected that to happen. It was a joke read it that way

Humor is best when it reflects facts as it points out the humor in the truth. The only time I can think of humor not reflecting facts is when hyperbole is used, but that is usually done for the sake of juxtaposition. The example of Trump closing Pelosi's office doesn't fit into either of those categories, hence the other poster pointing out the joke is based on ignorance of government (i.e., it's the AOC that heads renovations and that is through the legislative branch). I don't quite understand how pointing this out is insulting or humiliating; the joke falls flat because it relies on a something that can't happen. For instance, Trump cancelling Pelosi's plane can be spun as humor because she can cancel his SOTU and he can cancel her use of military planes. Meanwhile, he can't renovate her office, so you might as well ask, "Wouldn't it be funny if Trump threw a pie in the face of a Democratic politician?" Because it's all about owning those liberals, right?
Perhaps you could apply your knowledge of humor and explain these. I just don't see anything funny about them.

Stephen Colbert’s vulgar and obscene homophobic joke about President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Kathy Griffin The photos of her holding a fake bloody, decapitated Trump head.

Larry Wilmore “I don’t want to give him any more oxygen. That’s not a euphemism, by the way. I mean it literally. Somebody get me the pillow they used to kill [Supreme Court Justice Antonin] Scalia and I’ll do it — I’ll do it!"

George Lopez tweeted former Mexican president Vincente Fox holding the decapitated head of Donald Trump aloft, with the caption "Make America Great Again."

Rosie O'Donnell In July 2017, O'Donnell tweeted out a link to a game called "Push Trump Off A Cliff Again."

Johnny Depp During an appearance at the U.K.'s 2017 Glastonbury music and arts festival, the actor tore into the president -- "I think Trump needs help" -- and then made an ill-considered joke: “When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?”

Could you imagine Nancy Pelosi having to fly commercial air?

There's no need to engage your imagination, just to look at the facts. She's flown commercially a multitude of times, as have the vast majority of Congressional members and their staff.

Only the Speaker and his or her accompanying delegation is afforded the right to use military aircraft, since that position is the second in line to succeed the president. The Speaker is an exceptionally high-value target for terrorists, regardless as to the person in that position, so the protocol has been to travel with a security team (Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, a Republican, was allowed to travel on Air Force One and in a chartered jet following 9/11 for this reason). All other Congressional members are required to use use funds from the Members Representational Allowance (MRA) for official business travel, and since it's relatively limited, they typically economize by flying commercial.

To state what's patently obvious, advance notice of travel plans to a battle area should never be revealed to the public. Considering that ISIS just targeted Americans in Syria to rebuff the claim they'd been defeated, doing so is extraordinarily reckless. After Mr. Trump announced the sensitive travel plans, significantly increasing the danger not only to Speaker Pelosi and the Codel but to the troops, security, and other officials supporting the trip, plans were made for them to travel commercially. Those plans were then leaked as well, once again jeopardizing the safety not only of the Codel but many others, including all the other passengers on the commercial flights. This would have been her ninth trip to Afghanistan.

Wouldn't it make sense that if she wanted to postpone the State of the Union due to her "security concerns" that traveling commercially to Afghanistan would be a hypocritical action on her part?

Actually, it did have everything to do with what you wrote. Based on what you wrote, how then do you rationalize the examples provided as "Jokes"?

I apologize. I wasn't laughing at you. I had no idea that Melania went on a trip the same day Nancy's was canceled. I am laughing at the situation that you described. It is starting to look more like an episode of "I Love Lucy" between Trump and Pelosi.
