Laziest President in American History Departs for 17-Day Golf Resort VacationBY JAY WILLIS
"Don't take vacations. What's the point? If you're not enjoying your work, you're in the wrong job," said Donald Trump knowingly in 2004. "Barack Obama played golf yesterday. Now he heads to a 10 day vacation on Martha's Vineyard. Nice work ethic," observed Donald Trump sarcastically in 2010.
"President Obama is about to embark on a 17-day vacation in his 'native' Hawaii," exclaimed Donald Trump incredulously in 2013. "I would not be a president who took vacations," promised Donald Trump confidently in 2015.
This is, of course, not the first time that Trump has enjoyed time away from the White House on taxpayers' dimethe price tag of his weekend jaunts this year alone are estimated to outpace President Obama's entire eight-year travel budgetbut it will be the lengthiest trip he's taken yet.

Is lying this much exhausting?
By the way, correct me if I'm wrong, a lazy person is a person that do very little work, but, at least, she do something. As little as it is.
How to call someone that do nothing at all? Unless if whining is considered as a work?
