Trump claimed that he is not on vacation, but is working at his New Jersey golf club, but a picture and video show a president who is hanging out, playing golf, and riding around in his golf cart.
Trump tweeted:
Working in Bedminster, N.J., as long planned construction is being done at the White House. This is not a vacation – meetings and calls!

Never has a president wasted so much taxpayer money, while accomplishing so little.
After George W. Bush had been criticized for taking too much vacation, his White House tried to schedule a few work related events into Bush’s vacation schedule to at least try to make it look like he was doing some work while clearing brush at his ranch in Crawford, TX.
Apparently, crashing weddings and playing golf is what Trump considers work.
It is sad that this White House isn’t even competent enough to lie about Trump’s vacations. Trump obviously is not working. He is wasting more taxpayer money while the country lacks leadership.
America doesn’t have a president. The man occupying the presidency is the world’s laziest retiree.
