President Trump has spent nearly one-third of his time in office at one of his company's properties, according to a Wall Street Journal review of the president's travel.

According to the review, during Trump's first year in office, he spent more than 100 days at one his properties, including nearly 40 days at his golf course in Bedminster, N.J.

He was also at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida for about 40 days, according to the Journal. Trump is known to frequently travel to his properties.

He spent Thanksgiving weekend at his Mar-a-Lago resort and arrived at the Florida resort on Friday for the Christmas holiday.

1. American taxpayers are paying through the nose for the republican "billionaire"*

to play with his freaking putter. What a goof off. What a republican ripoff.

15. Cheapest Grifter Ever. There isn't a penny that crosses his path that he doesn't make a pinch for.

What a loser.

2. This presidentin' thing

is interfering with his social life. If not for his heavy debt to Russia, I doubt he would have run. Well, that plus the trips to his palaces are now free paid for by dumb taxpayers. He is a disgrace. No CLASS, little intelligence, no "couth" and slimy as hell. Perfect gop candidate for the WH. They must be so proud to have this fat, disgusting, repulsive clown as their leader.

13. I'm sure 45 thought he'd just be signing things.

And telling people what to do like a CEO does where they can express a whim and say "make it happen" and people do.

I've read that most normal Presidents are heavily scheduled often through a 10-12 hour day depending what's happening, and are always "on call" even when on vacation; they're still being briefed daily.

I predicted 45 would think being President was a 9-5 job that ends on a business schedule. I was wrong. We're not even getting that - he's likely never worked a full 8 hour day in his life, and he thinks it's a "whenever I feel like it or need to sign something or do my stupid campaign rally" job.

This is clear from the ass-kissing sessions where everyone takes turns telling him how much "hard work" he did for things like tax reform when he clearly hasn't even read the entire damn thing either since it's more extensive than five bullet points on a page.

3. He only "works"

part time, yet does twice as much damage as any president before him. What an accomplished little man/child he is.

4. I'm guessing.......

that exceeds what "W" did during his disastrous 8 years "clearing brush" in Texas. It seems to me that I'd read he spent about 25% of his 8 years away on "break."

Well, at least he'd never criticized his predecessor by saying that he'd "stay in the capitol and get work done."

What a f**kin' liar!

14. Presidents deserve vacations like everyone...

Just not traveling back and forth 3-4 weekends a month! They usually take a week or two every 6-8 months.

He tries to justify this by saying Mar-a-Lago is the "Southern White House" but that is a full crock of it.

[MyOwnPeace]

16. Not arguing that "they deserve"

but I'm furious about this hypocritical liar:

*complained about Obama "golfing" and stating that he'd stay in DC to "get things done"

*a money-making scheme for the "Trump" empire. Look how much they charge for the support staff plus the Secret Service (golf carts, rooms in places that he owns, etc).

Robbery that is condoned by the fraud republicans!

[forgotmylogin]

18. Definitely.

A very blatant and unrepentant hypocritical display from 45, to criticize Obama for so long and then do the exact same things he accused him of. Not just with vacations.

5. I just hope

That when he's impeached or steps down, there's a way to strip him and his family of all profits made during his illegal presidency.

6. The SS can avoid payments to Trump businesses.

They could rent close by and just send agents to guard him in shifts. They could buy their own golf carts to use. They could order in food from decent outside restaurants while at work. If any of this costs more, I don't care. As long as Trump doesn't get a penny from us. Once he's gone they could auction off the golf carts for charity. I'm sure they'll make a bundle.

7. white house is a dump. he neeeeeeeeeeeeds 'bling'.

[MFM008]

8. I'd like him to spend the rest of

His tenure in a box........
Underground.....

[duforsure]

9. And another third...

posting to twitter (if its really him posting at all) trying to distract and piss everyone off, and draw attention to himself. The last third trying to remember all the lies he's told, and which new ones to tell.

[marble falls]

12. He's trying to "distract" and "draw attention to himself"?

Howzat work???

[Cryptoad]

10. And he whines about disable people drawing,,,,

a mere $1000/ month welfare.

[SunSeeker]

11. K & R for exposure.

[Bengus81]

17. Yup and that will only go higher with winter setting in......

That asshat will be flying down there every weekend and of course strangling their economy with security lock downs everywhere.

[OliverQ]

19. People on twitter responding to this saying so what, he's been working non-stop.

and doesn't take a salary. And Obama spent way more time on vacation than Trump.

I can't deal with Trump's cult. It's terrifying people can seriously believe this crap. I always viewed cults as small, fringe groups of nut cases like Heaven's Gate.

I never imagined almost 40% of this country could be such an insane, dangerous cult.
