Republicans: Presidents shouldn't take vacations; except when they're Republicans

[Mr. Shaman]

So far, President Obama has taken 61 vacation days after 31 months in office. At this point in their presidencies, George W. Bush had spent 180 days at his ranch where his staff often joined him for meetings. And Ronald Reagan had taken 112 vacation days at his ranch.

Yeah.....like Avatar4321 said....the more time Lil' Dumbya spent, on vacation....the less opportunity he had to interfere with our government!!!

I've defended Obama on the vacation thing several times. I have no issue with him taking time off... although it is incredibly disingenuous to compare Bush spending 180 days at his ranch - since he often wasn't on vacation, he was just 'working from home'. Neither is a big deal. My issue with Obama are the decisions he makes when he's not on vacation.

It's not only that but we pay to protect Trump's kids & their families also which is driving up the bill.

Like that Aspen skiing trip for the Trump kids and family--with a 100 security agents in tow. The bill for ski rental alone was $12,000.00 taxpayer dollars--(which did not include the cost of lodging, ski lift tickers and food.)

And we're paying for security to expand the Trump empire around the globe like that new golf course that they just opened up in Dubai.

Those weekly trips down to Trump's resort Mar a Lago, in Palm Beach Florida cost the taxpayers 700K per trip to haul down security, White House staff and equipment. Trump calls it the Southern White House--(who knew?) I believe he's been down there 10 times within 2-1/2 months. To add insult to injury Mar a Lago has recently doubled it's membership fees to $200 K per year. Who knew we were getting a Monday thru Friday President.
Trump's Mar-a-Lago club just doubled its new membership fee to $200,000
In a month, the Trump family has cost taxpayers almost as much as the Obamas did in a year

No wonder they're all working for FREE--LOL. Trump outspends the yearly Presidential salary of $525K in one weekend down at Mar a Lago. Even Invanka is now a Presidential adviser--with her own office and White House staff--of course a volunteer.--LOL

Maybe someday these morons that supported and voted for this ass clown will get a clue as to what the Emoluments clause in the Constitution means. That will happen in 2018 when Democrats take over.

So, when did Trump take a vacation?

So, when did Trump take a vacation?

Trump takes a vacation every single weekend--down to his resort at Mar A Lago, as I explained in post #65 on this thread. It costs the taxpayers of this country 700K to move white house staff, a ton of security agents and equipment to Palm Beach Florida every weekend he goes down there.

All Presidents have stayed at the White House over the weekends, and if they go anywhere it's to Camp David, which Trump refuses to do. Trump even met the Chinese Prime minister & his wife at his Mar a Lago resort last week.

Bush spent much of his time on the ranch, clearing brush, bike riding, and driving his pick-em-up truck. Bush was on his ranch when the DNI warned him that Osama BinLaden was determined to attack inside the USA. If Bush was working he would have done something..

A weekend is not a vacation. Do ewe call yer weekends off a vacation?

Mar-a-lago is Trumps vacation estate. It's where he's got a golf course, and where he spends weekends.

It is when you travel 1,200 miles just to play golf.

You can call it what you want too, but by time this year is out Trump will have spent $36,400,000.00 on his weekly travel down to Mar A Lago--which totally obliterates Obama's yearly travel and vacation expenses added together--that you constantly complained about. Presidential salaries are only 525K per year, and Trump outspends that in one weekend. This doesn't even include the cost of his families travel for their vacations and their travel all over the world to expand the Trump empire.

So which trips has he taken to expand his empire?

 

[radical right]

Obama’s travel expenses were $97m over eight years. Trump is already at $23m after 10 weeks
Donald Trump's travel expenses in 10 weeks cost US taxpayers as much as Barack Obama spent in two years

I agree...and only Republican Presidents should be allowed to play golf

Bush didn't play golf, turd.

Bush was videotaped playing golf, weeks after he promised to stop playing golf.
