BRIDGEWATER, N.J. President Trump on Saturday claimed his 17-day getaway at his New Jersey golf club is not a vacation.
Working in Bedminster, N.J., as long planned construction is being done at the White House. This is not a vacation - meetings and calls! Trump tweeted.

Construction is being done at the White House. Earlier this week it was reported that the government is replacing the heating and cooling system in the White House's West Wing, so everyone who works there was required to leave by the end of this week.
The White House has described the trip as a "working vacation" and argued that renovations in the aging West Wing made it necessary.

I'm sure every president has taken meetings and calls on vacations. It is still a vacation.
