Oh, FFS! He has gotten a lot of on the job training, my ass! He has been on vacation most of the time.

Where’s JD Vance? VP takes eighth vacation in seven months

Vice President JD Vance has been in office since January, and already he’s racked up more vacation days than most Americans could dream of in a decade. The man who built his brand railing against “elites” has basically become one — living like the very people he claimed to stand against.

His latest trip? A summer holiday in the Cotswolds, the region of England nicknamed “the Hamptons of the UK.” Vance rented a sprawling manor that goes for about $10,000 a week. Between his motorcades clogging tiny country roads and the protests that followed him across the pond, it’s safe to say his family getaway got more press than privacy.

But this isn’t an isolated incident. This is vacation No.8 this year.

Italy, India, Nantucket, Disneyland, Vermont, Greenland — wherever you can name, he’s been.
