In mid-August 2011, then-non-politician Donald Trump levied a critique of President Barack Obama.<\/p>\n

@BarackObama\u00a0played golf yesterday. Now he heads to a 10 day vacation in Martha’s Vineyard. Nice work ethic.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)\u00a0August 15, 2011<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This was one of dozens of tweets criticizing Obama for playing golf. (Here\u2019s another classic.) It was one of a handful that also dinged Obama for taking a vacation.<\/p>\n

On the campaign trail, Trump was adamant: He\u00a0would rarely play golf \u2014 \u201cI\u2019m not going to have time to go play golf,\u201d he\u00a0once said\u00a0\u2014 and he certainly wasn\u2019t going to take a lot of vacation. (\u201cThere\u2019s just so much to be done,\u201d he\u00a0told \u201c60 Minutes,\u201d\u00a0\u201cso I don\u2019t think we\u2019ll be very big on vacations.\u201d)<\/p>\n

On Friday, Trump will head to his golf course in Bedminster, N.J., for a 17-day vacation. That\u2019s nearly twice as long as the vacation Obama took in August during his first year in office, when he went to Martha\u2019s Vineyard.<\/p>\n

In 2010, Factcheck.org\u2019s D\u2019Angelo Gore\u00a0figured\u00a0that the Vineyard trip was Obama\u2019s second that month, including a weekend trip to Arizona and Colorado during which Obama and his family visited the Grand Canyon. Obama did some work while he was there, but he made time for recreation, too, including fly-fishing. By Gore\u2019s count, those were the second and third vacations of Obama\u2019s presidency, counting a four-day trip to the family\u2019s home in Chicago for Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

If trips like that count \u2014 brief getaways to a personal property to recharge \u2014 then Trump has taken a\u00a0lot<\/em>\u00a0of vacation. Before this month, Trump\u00a0had\u00a0made 11 such trips to his properties in Palm Beach and New Jersey. On occasion, he\u00a0would wrap in some work, as Obama did when he was out West. Often, though, he didn\u2019t. (He also spent one weekend in June at Camp David, Md.)<\/p>\n

By our count, by the end of August, Trump will have spent all or part of 53 days in office at leisure, compared with 15 days for Obama through August 2009. What\u2019s more, Trump will have played at least 33 rounds of golf, nearly double Obama\u2019s\u00a017 rounds\u00a0\u2014 and that\u2019s even before Trump gets to his vacation spot, an actual golf course.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s certainly subjectivity to this. Perhaps you don\u2019t view Trump\u2019s trips to Mar-a-Lago as vacations. Perhaps you don\u2019t count partial days. Perhaps you have another metric you\u00a0would like to use. Fair enough.<\/p>\n

For a presidential candidate who pledged to take little vacation and play next to no golf, though, the apples-to-apples comparison above is striking.<\/p>\n

Especially given Trump\u2019s habit of laying down markers that he himself is likely to surpass.<\/p>\n

Who else could take 16 vacations, play over 100 rounds of golf and hold over 300 fundraisers while serving as (cont)\u00a0http:\/\/t.co\/HMtyFeFB<\/p>\n
