    IOKIYAR.

    Forget it, Jake. It’s Chinatown.

    He’s spending 17 days in NJ and that’s a vacation?

    @beth:

    It’s at his very own golf club, so he gets to sleep in one of his very own beds, although he could go back to the Trump Tower in Manhattan each night.

  4. al-Alameda says:

    People, this will be a ‘working’ vacation:

    He’ll have access to Twitter for those 17 days so I’m sure he’ll be doing pretty much what he’s been doing for the past 180 days.

    It’s like a law of physics: for every Trump action, there’s an equal and opposite past Trump tweet.

    Update:

    It looks like every pundit and late night comedian had their say… and if enough people call BS all at once, you get this:

    Trump claims New Jersey getaway is ‘not a vacation’

    Apparently, he can pivot on everything else, why not this.

    Sadly, the pics and Instagram vids tell a different story.

    Not a vacation. Believe me.
