I don’t like this. He doesn’t have to play golf, but he should be there with his family.

I like it that he is recognizing he has a job to do ... Kind of like the Military etc that CAN’T be ‘home’ with their families.

I remember a shutdown that occurred during Obama’s reign of terror when federal employees were expressly ordered to “make it hurt “. That was apparently okay with the media. I am avoiding any news about this shutdown which is a non-event.

His family just returned to the White House so he won’t be alone for Christmas!

On Friday, Melania and their 12-year-old son, Barron, left the nation’s capital for Mar-a-Lago to keep the family's tradition of celebrating Christmas in Palm Beach alive.

In my family, we have the same tradition of celebrating Christmas 'alive'. We never do it the other way.

leave Friday for the 16-day vacation,

As compared to the three week vacation for all family and friends and aids of the Obama's in Hawaii?

Isn't great when the grown-ups are in charge?

The optics of Trump at Mar-a-Lago while Federal employees are on furlough would be awful.

DID THE BARRY HUSSEIN OBAMA FAMILY GO TO HAWAII???

They said it was always their tradition to go to Hawaii at Christmas...lol ...only became tradition when he had Air Force One to take them there...it was never tradition before...and looks like it is not Christmas in Hawaii, as usual for the Obama’s...

Wondering also if oldest daughter traveled to the UK to be with her boy friends family or did that relation ship dissolve already? anyone know???

Wondering also where Mama Robinson is spending Christmas? all alone and forgotten as she is no longer needed for photo ops? and the two dogs? what has happened to them, are they also gone as they no longer need pictures of them all together...

LOL..the dude has been a lying FRAUD all his life....somethings never change...

Good optics, especially when Congress went home.

Especially since going would mean the media would plaster the airwaves with pictures of Trump golfing surrounded by Secret Service agents who aren't getting paid.

Barron probably enjoying his extended family, maybe some friends down there from school too.

I totally respect how much his parents keep him out of the national spotlight.

More to the point, he probably realizes the field day the MSM would have if he were down there while the government is “shut down”.
