Trump goes to golf club resort on 17-day vacation amid criticism for sloth
2017-08-06
[Iran Press TV] US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
 has gone on a 17-day holiday to one of his golf resorts near New York.

Trump arrived at Trump National in Bedminster, New Jersey on Friday for his extended break.

The Trump National Golf Club occupies 535 acres of rambling countryside in central New Jersey, 45 minutes away from New York City.

The president, who had repeatedly criticized his predecessor, Barack Obama
Because I won...
, for taking too many vacation days to play golf and even vowed during his election campaign not to go on vacation if he became president, left the White House in complete shambles.

This is his first long absence from the White House since he became president.

The White House said the president’s stay at his golf resort would be a "working vacation".

"The President will continue to work over the next two weeks," said White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters.
Telecommuting is supposed to be good for the environment...
The White House's faulty cooling and heating systems were cited as one of the reasons for the president's untimely leave.
Oh that's right -- the craftsmen kicked everybody out so they could do all sorts of delayed maintenance, including replacing the HVAC system and repairing leaks in the ceiling. Let's blame President Trump for another thing that shuold have taken place on President Obama's watch.
Trump's vacation has been scrutinized by international and local media.
Of course. Double standards are standards, after all.

#12   Good times to sweep for bugs and check the network for bugs as well.

Sorry CF I figure it's time to reinstall any faulty bugs and add some new ones. My cynicism meter has been pegged since Jan.

#11  But the fact the white house will be shut down for air-conditioning repairs for 3 weeks matter nothing...

#7  ...repairing leaks in the ceiling...

When I wrote that, I was thinking about the literally leaky ceiling, I think in the press room. But it works even better the other way -- thank you for pointing it out, dear Anomalous Sources.

#6  As has been said, if Trump walked on water, he'd be criticized for not being able to swim.

#5  I guess he has his own people to sweep for bugs.

#2  Trump National is probably a more secure place from which to transact national affairs than the White House is.
