TRUMP MAY VACATION FOR 18 DAYS IN AUGUST, DEMANDS CONGRESS STAY IN WASHINGTON TO WORK

Federal Aviation Administration records suggest Trump is planning to go to his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf course from August 3 to 20. The FAA announced temporary flight restrictions in the Bedminster area during that period.

Meanwhile, Trump told Republican senators during a meeting Wednesday that they should cancel their August recess and stay in Washington until they repeal Obamacare.

1. He needs to leave the country

resign while gone and never come back.

I can dream can't I?

[malaise]

2. Congress does not work for him

[rurallib]

3. Not like he's doing anything anyway

except maybe hiding from justice.

[SummerSnow]

4. Too funny and pathetic at the same time..

I predict this tweet from his vacation

[jehop61]

12. What

is a perfect games in golf?

[SummerSnow]

13. Idk, but Trump is the only person who would say it.

or maybe he'll brag about a perfect round of golf

[jmowreader]

21. One under par on every hole

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_round

Find the rating of any golf course and subtract 18 shots to find the perfect round score.

On a par 72 course like the ones he owns, a perfect round is 54 shots. It has never been done. Rhein Gibson, Australian pro, holds the world record at 55 strokes. The record on the PGA Tour is 58 strokes. And Trump carries a 3 handicap. No damn way he shot the world's first perfect round.

34. Kim Jong Il beat him...

Kim Jong Il claims a 38-under-par game in 34 strokes.

http://www.golf.com/golf-plus/behind-kim-jong-ils-famous-round-golf

We should let Trump know and wait for news of his own miraculous game on Twitter.

[AllyCat]

35. It's like having "all positive lab values"

Only with golf balls.

[Lyricalinklines]

38. I don't find that particular tweet on his feed....

....I looked "@realDonaldTrump" . I could be searching incorrectly - no twitter account here. Just wondering.

[Grown2Hate]

46. It says "I predict this tweet from his vacation". It was a speculative joke. EOM

[Lyricalinklines]

47. OMG! Oops. Lol thanks. I misread, therefore didn't get it.

[former9thward]

51. Almost anything you see now on the internet is fake.

[hatrack]

5. Well it's only 10% as long as his vacation to date . . .

[guillaumeb]

6. At one point Trump claimed that he would be so busy working

that he would not leave the White House.

[erinlough]

7. What gets me is

We will pay his salary, then we will pay for his lodging and food and all that go along with him, his secret service etc. then the money that goes to the Bedminster goes back in his pockets! Talk about a conflict of interest

[jberryhill]

11. Oddly, we don't pay for his food

Fun fact.

[Flaleftist]

25. Who pays for all the meals his staff eat at his resorts?

[avebury]

50. Taxpayers - Although only GSA rates are supposed to

be paid for lodging and per diem. An employee should be responsible for any lodging charges that exceeds the GSA rate. It would be interesting to do a FOI request to find out exactly what Trump's various companies are charging the government.

I work of a State Agency and have prepared hundreds of travel claims and we have to adhere to the GSA rates. The exception is if it is an approved conference and you stay at a conference approved hotel and then you can exceed the GSA rates. I woudl believe that Trump vacationing at any of his properties should not qualifiy other government employees for payments above the GSA rates.

Now I don't think for one minute that Trump's properties are charging only the GSA rates because he is too greedy. But imagine what is most likely being charged over and above those rates. It is a valid issue to raise with your US Senators and Republicans, particularly for those who talk about too much government spending.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

8. Hell of a way to spread good will with congress

[Stinky The Clown]

9. H'll do there what he does at the White House.

Yell at the TV and tweet all day.

[D_Master81]

10. This prick thinks everyone works for him

who's he to go on vacay for 3 weeks and tell congress they better get stuff done while he's gone? The FBI director should report to him and the AG shouldnt recuse himself or it isnt fair to the Pres.

[rainbow4321]

14. Saw that on Twitter the a few days ago about the NJ long stay

Person said he didn't want to be in the WH.

Interesting side note...in that same thread someone tweeted that Trump had also made the request for a section of the "house" he will be at be made into an area for medical care for extended stay?
Prompting some serious and not so serious questions in the following tweets like is he or someone there gonna be having plastic surgery/recovery, is he having some medical isssues, etc..

But then again, is it normal for an extended medical area to be set up where a President stays for a month? The original tweet said the specific request was made by Trump/his minions.

[Sugar Smack]

22. Maybe it's something like open heart surgery

or something small like a tummy tuck, or a chip implant. Chances are, he's not nearly as healthy as he likes people to think.

[avebury]

54. He would have to actually have a heart before he could

have heart surgery.

[Sugar Smack]

56. True- and based on recent photos & video of Trump,

those busy docs would find plenty of other stuff to play with.

[Chipper Chat]

27. pee stain removal

He donnie - Clorox works just as good and is much cheaper

[dflprincess]

31. Perhaps Melania is having some work done?

Or Ivanka, or even Trumpsky himself. Though I'm inclined to think he's too vain to think he needs anything done.

[sunonmars]

45. Russian reprogramming retreat......updating the software.

[leftyladyfrommo]

15. I wish he would stay away for the next 3 years.

No one would miss him.

[ThoughtCriminal]

16. Maybe Christie can close a beach for him

Everybody is better off when republicans don't work.

[Baitball Blogger]

17. One day to complete each of his eighteen holes on his golfcourse.

Don't rush greatness

[MiddleClass]

18. Every president spends August on vacation. The rest of the time should not be on vacation

Demanding Congress stay in Washington, is normal for this scumbag

[Guilded Lilly]

19. Has the Cretin started really working yet??? I must have missed his start date.

[RKP5637]

20. This ass in the WH thinks he's CEO of USA, Inc. and everyone else is his lackey. He has a rude

awaking coming as he sees his empire fold in on him. Many in congress and other institutions are not his lackeys.

[Demtexan]

23. He needs the money.

Just think 18 days.

How much per day will the cost be.

Money in his pocket.

[HeiressofBickworth]

24. He'll comeback with a facelift!!

Too many jokes around about his saggy chin(s).

[ChazInAz]

29. Hmmmm.....

Wonder if he'll be bleeding badly from it?

[Buns_of_Fire]

30. ...asslift, tummy tuck, moob job, hand enlargement,

botox in the lips, having his tie surgically shortened, full-body permanent tan, replacement of the baboon hair on his head, etc., etc.

Then he'll open his mouth and spoil the whole effect.

[Doodley]

26. While the cat's away the mice do play. In other words time for all those in Trump's team who hate

his guts to plot and leak against him.

[Barack_America]

28. Hope he enjoys his last visit before prison.

[Solly Mack]

32. Constant whining does take a lot out of a person.

[Wiseman32218]

33. George W Bush spent all of August at his ranch, nothing new here for the pubs.

[Gabi Hayes]

61. "You've covered your ass!"

Remember that, to his CIA briefer, IIRC?

[kairos12]

63. That was while he was determining that Stem Cells posed more of a threat to us

than terrorist hijacked planes.

[Gabi Hayes]

64. Ahhh, for the good old days of lying us into war

and unmasking anti nuclear proliferation
assets

Good times!

[dweller]

36. may he drop off the face of the Eartb ...

aw jeez ... did I say that out loud ?

[Kablooie]

37. You don't realize that golfing can be very stressful and he's been doing a lot of it,

He really needs a nice long vacation of relaxing golfing to recover.

[uppityperson]

42. Good grief, honey. You're going to sprain something. Ice cube tray collecting is a calming hobby

Are any of these swallows?

[Rhiannon12866]

43. LOL! She's up late!

[DesertRat]

44. Those are lovely ice cube trays

That would be a relaxing hobby.

[greatauntoftriplets]

57. Or starlings!

[lindysalsagal]

40. Schumer says it's not a matter of time, but substance: Healthcare.

"The problem the Republicans are having with health care is not time—it's the substance of the bill," Schumer told reporters. "They can spend two more weeks, two more months, two years. As long as this bill continues to cut taxes on the very wealthy and hurt working Americans, the bill is going to be as unpopular as it is today."

[lindysalsagal]

41. I think he can't take the heat and is hiding where Mueller can't find him.

This could be the end of him. He may never come back!

[Vinca]

48. He's tired from all the golfing weekends.

[JHB]

49. Countdown to the "It's a working vacation, what does it matter where he is"...

...which was the Republican line during Bush's many vacations, but, naturally and per IOKIYAR standard procedure, was instantly forgotten between the dates of Jan 20 2009 and Jan 20 2017.

[avebury]

52. I never thought that there would be a President that could

beat Bush Jr's vacation record but Trump is well on his way to setting a new record.

[onecent]

53. Yeah, where does he think he's going????

[Javaman]

55. will we really miss him? he doesn't do anything anyway.

I would be more happy with him not tweeting for 18 days. nt

[WhiteTara]

58. Low Energy.

[Luciferous]

59. 18 days when he's not wrecking things sound good to me :)

[NastyRiffraff]

60. Is there any reason the Senate should obey him?

They're not his employees. They're a separate, and equal, branch of government. So what if he gets mad?

[Gothmog]

62. Has trump accomplished anything yet?

[dixiegrrrrl]

65. Yes, unfortunately.

He has hobbled necessary agencies from doing their jobs, he has sent people into offices of government to spy on staff, and to stop important policies and laws from being implemented.
We get him, we gotta got all his White Walkers out too.

[Blue_true]

67. Exactly.

Trump has done enormous damage to the EPA and Justice Department and is trying to cripple the State Department.

[LeftishBrit]

66. The world would be in a better state if he took a 4-year vacation!
