Trump Sets A Shocking Record For Laziness By Taking 5 Times More Vacation Days Than Obama

By Jason Easley on Tue, Dec 26th, 2017 at 7:18 pm



As 2017 draws to a close, Donald Trump has blown the record for presidential first year vacation days out of the water. Trump spent nearly one-third (111 days) of his first year in office on vacation. In contrast, Barack Obama took 26 vacation days during the first year of his presidency.

MSNBC’s The Beat With Ari Melber highlighted Trump’s excessive and nearly constant vacation travel:

According to CBS News’ Mark Knoller, Obama took 26 days of vacation during his first year. Trump took nearly three times more vacation days than Ronald Reagan, who took 42 vacation days during his first year in office. George H.W. Bush spent 40 days on vacation. George W. Bush took 69 days of vacation. On the opposite side of spectrum Democrat Jimmy Carter took just 19 days, and Bill Clinton had 21 days of vacation during their respective first years in office.

Trump claimed on the campaign trail that Hillary Clinton did not have the energy to be president, but now that he is in the White House, Trump is setting records for presidential laziness that may never be touched. George W. Bush set off a national firestorm by vacationing so frequently as president, but W. looks like a workaholic next to Trump.

Donald Trump’s biggest first-year accomplishment as president wasn’t the tax cut bill that was low hanging fruit for a Republican-controlled Congress that a trained chimp could have gotten it passed.

Trump’s biggest accomplishment in 2017 was reminding America that not everyone can be president. A President needs to show up for work and lead the country. Trump has failed on both of these measures, and when it is time to elect a president again in 2020 voters will not take for granted that they need to choose a president who will not treat the office like a paid vacation.

1. I'm not shocked

I wish he would take more time off.

[bearsfootball516]

2. "I would not be a president who took vacations. I would not be a president that takes time off."

[3catwoman3]

18. Kinda hard to take time off...

...when you are not really working much in the first place.

[greatauntoftriplets]

3. And some people actually believed that BS!

I wish he'd take the next three years off.

[malaise]

4. I did laugh when I read that he's telling everyone to get back to work

while his fat ass hangs around in Florida for another week.

5. Trump is nothing more than a lying sack of $hit con man.

And anyone who voted for him is either a total dumbfuck, racist/misogynistic asshole, or greedy SOB. Or maybe all three.

I have no use for him. I cannot wait until he is gone from office. I do not care how he departs (although I would
dearly love to see him marched out in handcuffs and sent to prison for the rest of his life), as long as he goes. Soon.
And Pence with him. McConnell and Ryan, too. The entire Republican party are traitors.

6. Imagine the damage he could do if he worked full time

7. +1. Put the buffoon on the golf course and leave him there. Unfortunately, he is often "working" on

the golf course plotting new ways to screw Americans.

Today, he golfed with Georgia Sen. David Perdue (R).

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. What work? He signs exec. orders. I guessing that's it. Everything is playtime.

[mtngirl47]

11. Don't forget 8 hours of TV per day! n/t

[0rganism]

8. and for that, i thank him

he does his best work when he's not working at all, if you know what i mean -- seriously, if someone can convince him to spend the next 3 years golfing, i would encourage them to do exactly that. he is neither wanted nor needed at the helm.

[progressoid]

13. Yup, I'd be happier if he tripled his vacation time.

Less time in the White House means less damage to America.

9. Just a lazy

[jazzcat23]

14. Fantastic,

perfect picture for a perfect moron..toddler..asshole...pervert..etc.

[Gothmog]

12. Trump is a very lazy person

[Lil Missy]

15. Notice the 3 that took the fewest # vacation days?

[BigmanPigman]

16. 1/3 of his time has been spent at his private properties

and on our dime too!

[Jspur]

17. Notice how Republican Presidents

take more days off than Democratic presidents.
