President Trump expected to take 17 day vacation to his NJ golf course

President Trump will begin a 17-day August vacation at his private golf club in New Jersey on Friday, according to The Associated Press.

Presidents typically take their vacations in August, and the AP reported Thursday that Trump will be no exception and will begin his first official vacation at the end of this week.

The president had been expected to spend an August vacation at his New Jersey club, which he has already visited on weekends.

The House has already left for its August break, and the Senate is expected to cut back an extended two-week session in August and leave this week.

Trump's trip in early August could partially be related to the fact that the government is replacing the heating and cooling system in the White House's West Wing, so everyone who works there will need to leave by the end of the week, according to the AP.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders earlier this week was asked whether Trump would leave Washington this month.
“We’ll continue to keep you guys updated on his August schedule as those details are finalized," she told reporters.

Trump had previously urged GOP senators to cancel their August recess and not leave town until voting to repeal ObamaCare. Senate Republicans failed last week to pass even a "skinny" bill repealing ObamaCare.

Is this where I'm supposed to put my faux outrage over his long vacation, despite my never having criticized Obama for taking time off?

This whole "All ______ does is golf!" is such a lame argument. These guys are literally on call 24 hours a day.

Good. I bet he'll actually be able to make phone calls there and get shite done without worrying about being bugged and leaked.

Going to Jersey should never be considered a vacation

Why should he work when Congress isn't in session?

Did Obama tell everyone that he wasn't going to vacation or play golf?

I have absolutely no problem with him taking a vacation.

I have a big problem with him knocking Obama for doing so and then flat out promising not to do so. Double standard and hypocrisy.

"I would not be a President who took vacations".

With technology now, you don't need to literally be in the Oval Office to run the country. Hell... President Trump could literally do all his duties from Paris, France if he wanted. I expect libs will cry, but I'm not worried at all.
