Not that continuity or sex in college videosfacts matter anymore, but in an alternative universe in which those things were relevant, you'd think President Donald Trump would have held off taking a vacation for a little while after he got into office.
Trump is set to spend the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where Politicoreports he will hold several meetings and phone calls amid doing things one does at a resort. Sure. Fine. It's not that the newly-elected leader of the world's most powerful nation, having survived a long and brutal campaign season, shouldn't want to get out of Washington, D.C. for a bit. It's just that he spent so much time railing against his predecessor for getting out of town.

Trump's weekend break (as much as a president is ever really taking a "break") will cost those taxpayers an estimated $3 million. Which, again, not at all unprecedented. It's just a wee bit hypocritical.

Trump once referred to Obama as a "habitual vacationer." Obama spent 230-plus days on vacation during his eight years in the Oval Office. Former President George W. Bush spent 533 days on vacation. Former President Bill Clinton spent 174 days on vacation, according to CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller.
We'll see how Trump stacks up at the end of his term(s) in office.
