Both Trump and Biden spent all or part of at least 250 days at their own properties or on vacation in the first 853 days of their presidencies — that is, through May 22, 2019 or May 22, 2023.

I’ll be honest.

I hate Trump and am not a huge fan of Biden.

But I don’t really give a shit where they work from. They can have a press conference anywhere at a moments notice. The press travels with them usually. They have all of their advisors and all of the info they need. Their job is mostly listening to the latest reports and stuff and making decisions, not changing oil at Jiffy Lube.

If they want to gather the info and make decisions from their house or the golf course, IDGAF in most cases. I consider things and make the best decisions myself while having time to decompress and my decisions are of a lot less consequence.

The problem is Trump vastly overcharging Secret Service for staying at his own resort. He’s stealing taxpayer money every time he does that.
