The "vacation" shit needs to stop. Presidents don't take vacations, they are constantly a short distance from SS, and have to be quickly available at all times in case communication with other gov't officials is required.
This holds true for all of them, no matter what you thought of them.
As far as trump goes, the public aggravation is justified with him using his own establishment for his weekend getaways (which is a fairly straightforward conflict of interest), and the negative impact that has not only on local businesses, but on security. His weekend jaunts are incredibly selfish, but at this point not a single person should be surprised that these are happening.

Democrats conveniently turned republicans whining about presidential behavior, then following suit themselves. What a surprise.

He even has a 24 caret golden toilet, while large parts of his population are strugling to survive or not gonna be able to pay for their healthcare in the near future.

Not sure I understand how people are able to watch this, see him going away on golfing trips every other weekend, and then defend him. Usually the only response I get when I bring up videos like this to family and or co-workers is basically that it's a non-issue and that there are more important things to worry about. Just more liberal tears, right?
The thing is, it's only the rich people who either inherited their wealth or scammed and cheated their way to the top that act like this. People who legitimately earned their wealth through hard work and innovation generally take on a more humble demeanor because to them, money is just a side effect of doing what they love.

Wow you sure told me, didn't ya? I'm not surprised you've read my posts, you obviously spend more time on this board than you do being productive. I'd value Trump's opinion over yours any day. Reply back when you've earned a seat in a public office, and the welfare waiting room doesn't count.

Duh it exists on both sides. You're doing a mighty fine job reminding us of the rights when it comes to Trump. Lame attempts at equivocation don't do much.
And no not everything is worthy of respect. Case in point Hannity blasting Obama for using a teleprompter then metaphorically blowing Trump because he used one for a speech and finally didn't sound like a tool saying he had the best worst and the best plans and the best people for 30 minutes. Trump's a special brand of stupid and so is voting for him in and of itself. When you add in all the bullshit folks like yourself conjure up about Benghazi and the apparently concentration camp level dirty that's in the email leaks that only the right wing zealouts found there wasn't much in the way of a respectful disagreement. Just one side wanting to hard to win they'd eat their way through bullshit mountain without a fork just to do it. And the political process doesn't simply stop after voting is done and we all sit with our thumbs up our asses until the next chance.
