The president should be leading the nation through action and engagement with the American people, not routinely vacationing at his own properties on the taxpayer's dime. According to NBC News analysis, Trump spent parts of 40 out of his first 100 days at personal residences like Mar-a-Lago, logging 12 out of 14 weekends there. This stands in stark contrast to his rhetoric about "working for the American people" while implementing sweeping policy changes with major ramifications. Spending excessive time away from Washington, DC signals a lack of commitment to doing the actual work required of the nation's chief executive. I urge fiscally responsible use of government resources and a presidency that prioritizes public service over private leisure. The American people deserve a president dedicated to addressing the nation's pressing issues through tireless effort, not one perpetually on vacation.
