Donald Trump is pledging no long vacations and no presidential salary during his time in the White House.
“There’s just so much to be done,” Trump told CBS’ 60 Minutes in an interview broadcast Sunday. “So I don’t think we’ll be very big on vacations, no.”
Why Donald Trump Never Takes a Vacation

Donald Trump might be the proud owner of Mar-a-Lago, the 128-room “great estate of Palm Beach,” but the presidential nominee is not a fan of taking time off to relax and unwind.
“Don’t take vacations. What’s the point? If you’re not enjoying your work, you’re in the wrong job.” — Think Like A Billionaire
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 19, 2012
When asked by the Boston Globe when the mogul last took a vacation, his spokeswoman Hope Hicks responded simply: “Mr. Trump prefers to work.”
A vacation “would bore and perhaps scare him,”Abe Wallach, a former longtime Trump Organization executive, told the newspaper. “He needs constant activity and gratification.”
Trump himself tweeted, “Don’t take vacations. What’s the point? If you’re not enjoying your work, you’re in the wrong job,” in 2012, quoting his book Think Like a Billionaire.
Wallach said that he would speak to Trump on a daily basis, sometimes twice a day, when he took his own vacation time. Another former employee, Barbara Res, said that during the first four years she worked for the Trump Organization, she took only said she took only two vacations. During one of them, a trip to Arizona, Trump asked, “How long are you going to be there? When are you coming back?”
“Don’t take vacations. What’s the point? If you’re not enjoying your work, you’re in the wrong job.”—Donald Trump
The nominee has been critical of Barack Obama for his biannual vacations: “He takes more vacations than any human being I’ve ever seen,” he said on Greta Van Susteren’s Fox News show in 2011. “It sends a bad message. Here we have a country that really is going to hell in a handbasket ... and we have a president that’s constantly, whether it’s Martha’s Vineyard or someplace else, constantly on vacation.”
Trump criticized President Obama for not ending his vacation early to travel to Louisiana to tour the recent flood damage.

More recently, Trump criticized Obama for not leaving his Martha’s Vineyard vacation early to tour the flood destruction in Baton Rouge, Louisiana (Trump and his running mate, Mike Pence, visited the area on Friday, August 19). Obama arrived a week ago, on Tuesday, August 23.
For her part, Trump’s rival Hillary Clinton hasn’t taken a vacation during her campaign, a spokesman told People: “Might do two days later in the month but that’s not scheduled yet. Even on days she isn’t campaigning in public, she is doing campaign meetings so she really hasn’t taken any time yet.”
And while Trump has said he may take some time off if he loses the election in November, Wallach doesn’t believe it for a second: “He could be very busy suing people and various organizations as a result of his loss. He has to be in the press every minute every single day. You can’t do that if you’re on vacation.”
Are you SURE?
After he announces the delay of the Electoral College vote this afternoon, he may want to be far away from a geographically insecure location, where loyal troops could effect his arrest.
How about a “go-fund-me” campaign that extends that vacation for maybe another four weeks or so?
He can’t wait 34 more days and then he’s on a permanent vacation.
Well, it is nice that he can visit a foreign country now and again...
Getting out of town before that global warming arctic vortex hits town. LOL. Mele Kalikimaka Americans.
He should stay there and phone it in on Jan 20.
Trump not vacationing is really going to anger the press, no more free tickets to swanky places.
One last vacay on my dime. I’m sick and tired of paying for everyone else’s vacations, college loans, iphone, internet, rent, health care, education, SSDI when they aren’t disabled, lobsters and steaks, booze, candy, tranny surgeries, birth control, abortions, etc.
He doesn’t want to be in town when the electoral votes are counted.
If I was trump, I wouldn’t ride with that f’stain to the inaugural. I would order a separate car.
His last vacation paid in full by the American taxpayers?
Global warming has nothing on the heat this mulatto stirs within. Yes, heated anger
BO’B not only a waste of time - a complete waste of money....ours. Hell hath no fury like an angry taxpayer.
Obama doing what he does best, vacationing.
He plans on confronting Russian and starting a war before he leaves. Yet another international conflict to get us into.
Loser.
