If you're not enjoying your work, you're in the wrong job. Lynne Sladky, Associated Press. So far, Trump has vacationed more than Obama. But the new Republican president has been a more enthusiastic vacationer, so far, than the man he criticized. His tallies include weekend days that presidents are away from Washington.
Before departing for his latest trip, Trump had already spent 14 days at the New Jersey resort, and two days at the presidential Camp David retreat in rural Maryland, Knoller said. Screenshot from Twitter. George W. Bush took more vacation time than both of them. When Obama had been in office the same amount of time as Trump, he'd spent four days in his Chicago hometown and 17 days at Camp David in eight separate visits, according to Knoller. Bush's vacationing tally was higher than both of them at the same point in his presidency.
Knoller says Bush went to Camp David 13 times, spending 39 days. He made six visits to his ranch in Crawford, Texas, where he spent 39 days. Trump is being called a hypocrite for taking more vacation time than Obama. Others complain his travels have soaked taxpayers for travel and security expenses, and that he uses the trips to market his vacation resorts. Trump says he's spending his time in New Jersey doing presidential business.
Working in Bedminster, N. This is not a vacation - meetings and calls! Manuel Balce Ceneta, Associated Press. Barack Obama took vacation days in eight years. Like Trump, all presidents say they work during their time away from Washington. It's too early to predict how Trump will stack up in the presidential vacation pantheon at the end of his term. But we can tell you how many days his predecessors took before they left office. And despite Trump's Twitter tirades over his vacationing, Obama took comparatively few days off.
Obama, took 29 vacation trips spanning all or part of days, according to Knoller. He also made 39 visits to Camp David, that totaled all or part of 93 days. That's a grand total of days over eight years. Many of his trips were to Martha's Vineyard, where he's pictured during a vacation. He also made several trips to Hawaii, where he was raised. He went to Africa quite a bit. He went around the world. He went to Africa, and he took their kids and friends and all that.
Ninety-seven-million dollars in eight years, man. Question: "I heard you say earlier that you didn't care what Donald Trump did on the weekend and, frankly, neither do I. Except, he wants me to pay for it. Does this concern you at all? Jeff Flake, R-Ariz. I'm not going to tell the president where he can or cannot spend his weekends.
That's what we have the White House for. President Donald Trump's travels to his Mar-a-Lago property in Florida are a frequent topic at town halls hosted by members of Congress during the April recess.
