The president will spend 17 days at his private golf club in New Jersey despite being famously anti-vacation over the years in books and interviews

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 the city he calls “the swamp”. Trump is due on Friday to begin his first extended vacation from Washington since the inauguration: 17 days at his private golf club in central New Jersey.

The vacation could be driven in part by necessity. Everyone who works in the White House West Wing, including the Oval Office occupant himself, must clear out by the end of the week so that the government can replace a bulky, 27-year-old heating and cooling system.

The White House hasn’t been entertaining questions about the president’s August plans. Asked whether Trump would leave Washington this month, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said on Tuesday: “We’ll continue to keep you guys updated on his August schedule as those details are finalized.”

1. More crooked than Harding, more despotic than Nixon, more senile than Reagan, and lazier than Dubya.

The GOP have outdone themselves with this one.

the entire clan on saying "I refuse to answer, on the grounds ..." I wonder if he will be seeing a therapist about his delusions? Ivanka will probably get even more Botox, and Beavis and Butthead might get chin implants for those tRump weak chins.

6. Apparently scheduled maintenance and renovations at the WH already in the mix

Scheduled during last administration. Think I heard it in CNN - no link.

That is part of it. However, he would be out of there anyway given his golf Jones and distaste for the "dump."

Hope they include lots of bugs in the renovations.
