WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump once questioned the wisdom of taking vacations. “What’s the point?” he asked.

But now the president is getting ready to join the annual August exodus from this town he calls “the swamp.” Trump is due to set out Friday on his first extended vacation from Washington since the inauguration — a 17-day getaway to his private golf club in central New Jersey.

The president’s vacation could be driven, in part, by necessity. Everyone who works in the White House West Wing, including the Oval Office occupant himself, will be forced to clear out by week’s end so that the government can replace the balky, 27-year-old heating and cooling system.

But the White House hasn’t been entertaining questions about the president’s August plans.

Washington Examiner, Jul 25, 2017

President Trump and his staff will be moving out of the White House in August to allow for renovations to the West Wing, according to a report Tuesday.

Trump is scheduled to spend a portion of Aug. 3-20 at his golf resort in Bedminster, N.J., while construction projects take place.

He and his whole team need to disappear for about a month.  Just stay out of the news.

   I read somewhere, yesterday, that he has already spend over 40 days of his first 6 months at his Golf Courses, not that there's anything wrong with that.

First vacation?  Seems to me he has been vacationing quite a bit since he took office.  Just like his predecessor. 

Funny that Trump supporters who criticized Obama for taking off from Washington so frequently (and rightly so) have nothing to say when their hero does the same.  I guess anything is perfectly fine as long as Trump is the one doing it.

And I ask again:  What is wrong with Camp David for a weekend retreat?

He's been going to his home. Obama almost never did that. It's less expensive if President keep returning to the same place (like the ranch in Crawford for Bush).

This vacation is forced. They are doing maintenance on the HVAC unit at the Crack House.

Will this include a vacation from twitter?
