Analysis | By end of August, Trump will have spent three times as many days at leisure as Obama
By Philip Bump -- The Washington Post
In mid-August 2011, then-non-politician Donald Trump levied a critique of President Barack Obama. This was one of dozens of tweets criticizing Obama for playing golf. It was one of a handful that also dinged Obama for taking a vacation.
On the campaign trail, Trump was adamant: He would rarely play golf — “I’m not going to have time to go play golf,” he once said — and he certainly wasn’t going to take a lot of vacation. (“There’s just so much to be done,” he told “60 Minutes,” “so I don’t think we’ll be very big on vacations.”)
On Friday, Trump will head to his golf course in Bedminster, N.J., for a 17-day vacation. That’s nearly twice as long as the vacation Obama took in August during his first year in office, when he went to Martha’s Vineyard.
