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

Donald Trump 07/2015

1. How about he just not be a President? He sure isn't mine. n/t

[malaise]

2. Well to be kind

He's a pathological LIAR

[USALiberal]

3. Good point! :-)

[Garrett78]

8. And his supporters don't give a damn.

[bdamomma]

4. tRump

is a con man and pathological liar. He is degrading the office, country and the people too.

[Achilleaze]

5. More republican lies

Lies lies lies ... the repube WAY

[Hoyt]

6. Trump is senile and full of crud, but Presidents don't really go on vacation.

[USALiberal]

7. What the hell does that mean? n/t

[Hoyt]

11. It means they are still meeting, talking with staff, etc. That's what the hell it means.

Even george war bush would have to be briefed, put on a suit, and make announcements when "on vacation." Both he, and now Trump, will still manage to screw things up "on vacation." There's no getting away from that job --whether performed well or poorly.

So the "vacation" criticism is just simple-minded BS.

[USALiberal]

13. Let me explain.....

I guess you missed the part where Trump said he would not take vacations like Obama was.

Yet he is taking more!

Read everything again and get back to me.

Wow.

[Hoyt]

14. There are more important things to criticize Trump on. The vacation stuff -- when even Trump is not

really on "vacation" from messing things up -- is just petty. Let the GOPers gripe about petty stuff, not Democrats.

[USALiberal]

15. Seems like most the dems and media outlets gets the hypocrisy, sorry you do not. n/t

[Hoyt]

17. I get it, but it's petty on both sides.

[USALiberal]

18. Again, Obama never attacked Bush's Vacations. Wow, no use with you at this point. n/t

[Hoyt]

19. Yes, Obama realized it was petty too.

[Skittles]

9. Obama had a much bigger mess to clean up

as Democrats always do

[NotASurfer]

10. There's an implied qualifying phrase in his speaking

Just need to remember that he's leaving off the implied qualifying phrase "...except when I actually did"

It makes it much easier to understand what otherwise seems nonsensical -

I never colluded with Russia (except when I actually did)

It's all just a witch hunt (except the stuff I actually did)

And there's an implied negative qualifying phrase "except when I actually don't " -

I know how to create so many jobs (except when I actually don't)

I will negotiate such great deals for our country (except when I actually don't)

Etc

See? It makes much more sense that way!

[Sneederbunk]

12. Yes, but Bush was busy clearing brush and ignoring PDBs/

[smirkymonkey]

16. I'm all for a permanent vacation.

Please, just go the fuck away.
