This looks like a diversion otherwise barky wouldn’t go on another vacation with all this going on.
Or vacations trump everything.
Or vacation is cover for other activity, whether personal or political, that would not survive public scrutiny. Or vacation is just hiding out, because he’s not really in charge, someone else is, so he literally has nothing better to do. Or vacation is psyop, deliberately flouting his power. Or some combination of the above. But just kicking back and recharging like ordinary folk? Probably not.
