Good the for country. The more time he spends away from the WH, the less damage he does to the country. We don't need all this winning, one embarrassing day at a time.

oddly enough, trump supporters don't seem to have any sort of criticism of trump's record six months in office with 40 days at golf clubs and zero pieces of major legislation, they seem to be preoccup

President Donald Trump is set to go on a 17-day golf vacation in August, despite having criticized his predecessor for taking a vacation and playing golf.

According to reports from The Associated Press, the Republican will be taking a break from Washington D.C. on Friday, instead heading over to his New Jersey golf course for a 17-day trip in what appears to be a contradiction of his previous statements about vacations.

During his presidential election campaign, Trump told voters: “I would rarely leave the White House because there’s so much work to be done. I would not be a president who took vacations. I would not be a president that takes time off.”

On another occasion, the president tweeted a quote form his book that suggested people who loved their jobs should not be taking vacations.

His suggestion followed a number of tweets critical of Barack Obama for taking holidays or playing golf, also lamenting the amount of taxpayer dollars it cost for the then-president to take vacation.

“When will Obama next go on vacation if he wins the election? The day after,” Trump tweeted back in 2012.

“President Obama has a major meeting on the N.Y.C. Ebola outbreak, with people flying in from all over the country, but decided to play golf!” he said on the social media site in 2014.

Trump also hit the Obamas for wasting taxpayer money with their vacations, stating in 2012: “The Obama's Spain vacation cost taxpayers over $476K.They love to spend money.”

However, his own vacations, coupled with weekend trips to his Mar-a-Lago resort, which he has dubbed the Winter White House, have seen him spend for more than Obama did on holidays.

If he got the job done I don't care, everyone needs a vacation.
Since he can't get anything done and demanded congress stay in session about health care....hmm not so much, he should stay put too

and try to educate himself and understand healthcare for some leadership skills.
Ditto for infrastructure, immigration reform (so clueless) and wait there's more.......!
I think he is hiding to avoid some serious questions that will come towards him soon.

On the other hand.....go Donnie go....America needs a vacation from you, the greatest man on earth.
Barf.

And the right criticized Obama! Their  silence about Trump's goofing off is deafening. 

But we were told that the president was never really away from work.  As to responding, it is tough to respond to a squirrels on crack thread.
