Just a reminder.. Biden has, so far, spent significantly more time on vacation than Trump did.
Biden has spent 74 days so far on vacation, in that same amount of time Trump only spent 42 days on vacation.
Remember all those cries about Trump golfing... now ask yourself why they are silent when Biden is spending so much **more** time doing the same?
Its almost like there might be a double standard or something... no way!
@freemo If I stop and think about it, this doesn't even seem all that controversial. Every modern president takes more vacation time than the rest of us. It's almost like being responsible for 350M fickle assholes is a crappy, stressful job... One could make the argument that Trump's vacations were more expensive than his predecessors. Bush 2 took aprox 3x more time off and spent less, but if we want to talk about govt waste there are much better places to start.
@freemo That's likely true. I want to be clear that I'm not making excuses for Biden specifically, nor am I specifically condemning Trump for that matter. Like I said, modern presidents in general take a lot of time off. I'm not any happier with the trend Biden is setting than you are but it's not really something new. Going back to the Bush 2 example, which is admittedly a bit of an outlier, the guy only actually worked a little over 5 out of the 8 years he was president. Trump by comparison spent over 1 out of 4 years on vacation, and Obama less than 1 of 8 years. No matter how you slice it, even presidents who take the fewest vacations still take way more time off than us lowly citizens are allowed.
@b6hydra To me it has nothing to do with expense, its how much time the president spends not working... Biden has spent more than half of his days as president on vacation.. could you imagine being hired for a stressful CEO position and only working 3 days a week? You'd be fired in a second.
