Republicans have zero credibility after Trump. Whatever they say has no merit. Until their golden boy Romney runs in the next election.
isaidsomethingcool
Hey GOP: i care that rich people pay their fair share of taxes, not how much money they make. You a trillionaire? Cool. Just pay your taxes.
jlbishop81
He did, he front loaded his taxes. If he didn't the IRS would have gone after him and impeachment trials would have had more teeth.

As wiser people pointed out, authoritarians don’t care about hypocrisy. They wear it like a status symbol.
Beleg7
Yes! The more blatant and offensive the hypocrisy they can get away with, the more powerful it makes them look.

Also, passing it down the chain of command is a way of making sure everyone has shared incentives to stay loyal.

I do t care that he golfs a lot. I care that he kept criticizing Obama for it and the golfed more. Hypocrite.

Can you imagine having 75 vacation days a year? I finally have 15 (up from 10) and it still feels like nothing.
MozzarellaShticks
Chance are there are more negative ramifications to the presidents job than most of ours.
ChimeraGryph01
Also, you get to walk away from your boss if they ask hard questions and you can completely fuck up and still have a job.
detour512
I get 48 plus comp. days. I think the most we can get is 84 and we got guy who has max. Always gone on vacation.
ActuallyAPirate
Cries in 10
somethingawesomeandgreat
That’s pretty common in Europe to get 1.5 months of paid leave per year, then some not paid as well. Not 75 but still close.
sandmannet
In Sweden you always start with 20 vacation days and get more the longer you work.
TotallySaneScientist
If they do a good job and care idek if that's enough. Imagine the stress on a POTUS that actually cares about the choices they make.
ispeakfluentgif
15 weeks, or roughly 3.5 months. A seasonal president if you will.
generictreasure
I assume it’s more than that I assume he would stay there for more than a day sometimes so that 75 trips per year may be more than 75 days
Pauzlife
I get a month's vacation a year. ?
mirasie
What's a vacation day? I think I have those - not that I can afford to use them
myotheralt
Even the military only gets 30 days a year.
Masterofliquids
Thats crazy, here in ireland we have a minimum 21 days a year and thats considered bad by European standards
Canofminus
Same company for 13 years, same 13 vacation days every year.

msgbubba

s98s7fd98sdf98
I never minded Obama golfing or bush going to his ranch. It’s not like they have the day off. They’re still working 24/7, they just have 1/2
s98s7fd98sdf98
a few hours off. They still have their morning briefings, the nuclear suitcase is still 20’ away. They don’t get real time off. 2/2
ChurlishSunshine
I agree. I also haven't minded Trump's golf trips because the less time he spent getting stuff done, the better. I just didn't like that 1/
ChurlishSunshine
he golfed at Mar-a-Lago and the taxpayer money went back into his pocket.

Now imagine making $3500 a week on top of it and the best healthcare that exists and a pension for life.

God i miss the military's 30, first 2 years out and i hadn't spent had a day.
J0joTheIdiotCircusBoy
I struggle to use my 30. If get questioned if I take it and everything falls behind. If I don't take it I get hounded for not taking enough.
hellsgunslinger
Yup. Although sucks when they overcharge/charge for leave you didn't take. Twice. In 6 months. Tryin to get that back, well, yea. Pain
DeserTimmy
I once had a truly incompetent (not just vindictive) S-1 who would occasionally forget to charge for leave. Got 14 days free once.
hellsgunslinger
Yea that is nice. Had it happen a few times over the years. Once though, wasnt incompetence, S1 just never processed it

15 is not much at all. I have around 37 days a year. I am sorry for you.
TheMemeForge
15, its only the 25th tho
IamfunatpartiesIknow
37? Where do you work? In what country?
youlotarealltrolls
I'm UK and get 33 days plus 8 bank holidays a year. Know some older T&Cs which are 45 + bank holidays. 20 is about the minimum.
Cofrane
France and in a Bank. We have 5 legal weeks per year (mandatory in the country) so 25 days. The legal hours per week is 35h. But i am doing
Cofrane
38h (in my contract) so for that reason i am getting around 1.2 extra days off per month (that i can take when i want) so 12 more days

That's not unusual at all. One of my friend working in a big IT company has the same. My girlfriend as well in another field...

You are not wrong, that has happened. That said, for this president, the over 150million dollar price tag deserves a discussion.
JasoSpaks
They have all been bashed. Your job is to discover the truth instead of being 'told' the truth. ✌️
crossingdynasty
Not only did Trump golf more when he promised less, he also golfed at courses he owned to get that sweet double-dip.
Manakini
One former POTUS (I think it was Obama or Bush jr) said that playing golf was the only time the President could get any peace and quiet.

Ya know, If a president played 1-2 rounds a weekend, and at their leisure on vacation, I'd have no issues.

Should we just make golf illegal? No one's going to know if a President is playing Minecraft or some shit.
iamthisguy247
Every president has been criticized for it and it’s mostly hypocritical. But Trump criticized Obama for it hard, claimed he wouldn’t do it>
iamthisguy247
youcouldbedrinkingwholeifyouwantedto
Yes, but Trump bashed Obama for it a lot, became president, and then golfed more in 4 years at his private golf courses than Obama in 8

Almost like a hypocrite would do

Trump went an average of 4 times a week at his own courses on your dime which went in to his family coffers and made secret service pay togo

There's a difference between taking a golf break during a shitty time, and just not ever doing anything else.

sugaredtits
A bunch of white dudes want to play a few rounds in between meetings and briefings, go for it. Just don't forget to do your job first.
robindawilliams
And don't forget that golf and meetings/briefings are not mutually exclusive. Lots of business is done semi-casually over golf.
robindawilliams
But that doesn't mean it is productive, so oversight is always wise and encouraged. Just not blind criticism.
DVSBSTrD
*a lot.
nolzvader
Yup. I think the formula is (extremely stressful job) + (not many activities that can easily be safely done by POTUS) = golf
nolzvader
But every party loves to ridicule the amount of golf the other guy is doing. Then proceeds to golf a bunch themselves
nolzvader
It's stupid. Tell me about jobs, healthcare, education, defense. I will never vote for or against a candidate based on golf or lack thereof.
nolzvader
Sometimes thinking about an issue whilst getting some blood moving is a GOOD thing. Take the advisor golfing, hash it out
BlueBarnstormer
With Trump its the hypocrisy thats offensive. Spent 8 yrs trashing Obama for golf. Then Trump played golf more than Obama.
slinkydust
In half the time!
HUGHgReaction
More golf in the first year than all 8 of Obama’s wasn’t it?
Mack1986
More than anyone. And profited off of it by only golfing at his own properties and overcharging himself
CeruleanK
And he cheats at it, compulsively, just because he likes "winning" so much. It's inconsequential, but tellingly bizarre and ridiculous.
Imnotaclevergirl365
Also not defending Trump.. just wonder how long it will be before we decide that Biden is also doing too much golfing

Don’t think you need to worry. He says he’s got a peloton to focus on.
PianoMan2112
Right about when he reaches hole 4 his first time out.

For me it isn't really what they do in free time that's the issue. My issue is funneling tax dollars to your own businesses. If Biden...

owned a lazer tag facility and spent $150 million to play with his body guards, I'd be upset with that too.
IupvoteAussies
Personally, I'd love to see what a $150 million game of laser tag with Secret Service agents would look like
ButtBot9900
I don't think Biden boasted that he'd be too busy to play golf like Trump did for starters. We'll see how the numbers add up in 4 years.
