This country needs a businessman with no government experience and no idea how to get things done; not another career politician who actually knows how to get things done.

End sarcasm.  I'm sure his supporters couldn't care less that he lied to them by saying he'd have no time for golf.

The senate, the supreme court and the congress are in recess, and I do not see anything strange hypocrite either.

[Dr. Arch]

Nearly a month's vacation already? Amazing.

[Illiniwek]

You have to be kidding me...

[MasterJedi]

He'll get to piss off some golfers more by driving on the greens too I'm sure because it's hard for his flab to walk around much.

[Inmate Trump]

When all is said and done, provided we still have a country, this fool's supporters will need to always be reminded of their guilt in electing him.

I know they won't understand, because they're deranged, but we can't let future generations forget what went on in 2016, and how e-mails of no consequence mattered more than our integrity and morals.

He's entitled to a vacation but this hurts the optics of his all work, no play dealmaker myth.

Any President should be able to golf however much he or she chooses to; seriously, who gives a ?

[MasterJedi]

Thing is when Bush and Obama took vacation they were really working vacations. Trump just blabs classified information loudly to dinner guests and golfs.

Donald Trump when a Democrat is in office, for one.

Sure they can.

But he threw overwhelmingly negative criticisms to Obama for doing it.  And now he's on track to do more golfing than his predecessor.

Surely you can see the hypocrisy?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Fore!

Congress legislates. The President is Commander-in-Chief, among other duties.

He'll have the full ability to discharge those duties, receive his PDB, and blah blah blah.

[Holmes]

I don't care. Honestly he can stay there forever and never return.

Some blockheaded buffon named Trump, I think.

[Yank2133]

Wasn't he just telling congress they have should stay in town and pass a HC bill?

[SoLongAtlas]

Hopefully it will be a working vacation and he will announce his Afghanistan decision when he comes back to D.C.

That is God-tier tweeting.

I'm not excusing Trump bashing Obama for golfing too much, which is why I applied my comment to ALL Presidents.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

"Trump has done more for this country in six months than Obunga did in 8 years!"

[President Johnson]

This would be 24/7 on Fox and Republicans go crazy, if Obama still were president.

Pretty sure Hannity would be calling for Obama to be lynched over almost anything Trump has done.

As shameless as it is, people like Hannity are insulated by the goldfish-like attention spans of their audiences. They can bash Obama for taking vacations in 2016, then by 2017 be justifying Trump taking a vacation of the same length without batting an eye. Hannity knows his audience won't remember, if they ever knew what he said a year ago in the first place. It's even worse for comments/segments done several years ago.

Trump abuses this as much as anyone, as those tweets show. He says something dumb, moves on, and leaves everyone scrambling to point out his hypocrisy, at which time he's already said another dumb thing, and another, and another...

This is what angers me so much about the right, and why I find it so hard to treat them as functioning human beings. I remember listening to Rush Limbaugh back in the 90s. He was a talented raconteur, and I was pretty young and stupid. And still, I didn't have to listen very long before I realized he contradicted himself on a regular basis and that there was, logically or rationally speaking, nothing there.

And the same is absolutely true of Trump. He's deplorable, and the GOP is absolutely responsible for the ongoing disaster that is the Trump administration and its fallout. But the media practically gave him a free pass. Forget the offensive stuff he says, and focus on the damaging stuff he does. If his awful business record had gotten the attention his offensive vulgarities do, he would never have gotten anywhere near the nomination, far less the Oval Office.

Since the entire White House staff is being evacuated due to maintenance issues I'd guess NJ is a bit cheaper than going to FL, and certainly cheaper than a 17 day stay at Trump Tower.  But with the West Wing shut down, he's gotta go somewhere (other than hell - I have to put that in for the alt-left).
