Yes, pointing out Trump's frequent trips to golf resorts is totally a distraction. It's also a distraction how THE WHITE HOUSE called this a "working vacation." How disingenuous of people to call this a vacation after The White House says it is!

I have a question for you, Tgo. If this isn't a vacation, why is Trump spending it at one of his golf resorts instead of moving over to work in the building next door? You know, the building where his Chief of Staff, advisers, lawyers, etc. are working?

Yes. I lambasted the media for portraying this as if Trump just threw up his hands one day and said "BABY NEEDS A VACAY!" when the reality is the White House is undergoing renovations. You didn't have a coherent response to this so you distracted to Trump's golfing trips.Originally Posted by Tenlaar
As far as THE WHITE HOUSE calling this a "working vacation" that's because they have to because the ones who keep score on this type of shit consider ANY time spent away from the White House/DC as a "vacation" (not counting official visits and the like.) That's why Bush is credited with so many "vacation" days, because he spent so much time at the luxurious place known as Crawford, Texas.

My coherent response is, if this is not a vacation, why is he spending it at a golf resort instead of the building next to The White House where everybody else is working?
Besides the small group of aides traveling to New Jersey with the President, West Wing staffers won't take a vacation themselves while the renovations are completed: they're just moving next door to the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.

This just in - 204 year old building needs repairs.
STOP THE PRESSES
Edit:
Doing that math reminded me that maybe we should just let Canada burn it down again so we can build a new one, with marble and gold filigree, like the Trump Taj Mahal.

So the media narrative has moved from "TRUMP IS A GIANT HYPOCRITE! PLANNING 3 WEEK VACATION SO EARLY!" to "Well, okay, Trump was forced out of the White House due to needed renovation, BUT WHY DIDN'T HE JUST MOVE TO THE EISENHOWER BUILDING TO DO HIS WORK?!"
And Tenlaar dances to the new song without missing a beat.

You're not having a conversation with "the media" and their narrative. You are having a conversation with one person, who is asking you one question: in your mind, if this is not the President taking a vacation, why did he go to a golf resort in New Jersey while everybody else (his Chief of Staff, his lawyers, his advisers, the entire rest of the west wing staff) just went one building over to continue working?
I understand you not wanting to answer this question, but please, try to keep your childish hyperbole and lashing out to a minimum.

See? As long as Trump is in the US he's not on vacation because the entire US is his home.
4 more years! 4 more years! 4 more years!

I like how you shamelessly ignored Tenlaar's question. Isn't that what you and the other hyenas are constantly accusing Time of doing?
