Here I was thinking of "accomplishments" as a positive think, Scooby.

Neither of those is any sort of thing to crow about as some glowing demonstration of his presidential acumen.

That's right up there with telling me he used the Big Boy Potty and stayed in the yard instead of trying to get outside the gate.

I will give you that it appears the ICE is rounding up more illegal immigrants, we will see how that turns out.
ICE was gonna round those people up anyway. He just hurried them up a little bit.

I dunno as I'd be exited about that as an "accomplishment."

Not sure how this is "accomplished more," either.

Those are the things that come immediately to mind for me, and I would not say those warrant a vacation unless it's a permanent one.

We are $20 trillion in debt.

The fact that this wasn't addressed decades ago doesn't mean we should ignore it today.

We need to bring government spending under control, and starting at the top is how it should begin.

This is a non-partisan issue regardless of if it was started in a partisan manner here.

Besides it costing the taxpayers upwards of $3 million per weekend, it is awful if you live anywhere in the vicinity of his home. Tourist season, weekends and road closures, air restrictions, boating restrictions. They actually closed I-95 at rush hour on Friday. It’s killing local businesseses. Stores have no customers, hotel rooms cancelled, all the businesses at local airports is crushed.

It’s the same as what Melania is doing to NYC. This family cares about themselves first and foremost. She lives in NYC, he’s in DC during the week, and they both go to Palm Beach on weekends?

This is ridiculous. This guy is a job killer.

“…Contractors, landscaping crews and pool cleaners in town are being asked to stop work and leave the island by 3 p.m. on Fridays, at least through May 1…”

A Palm Beach County report estimates Trump's first weekend visit to his "winter White House" at Mar-a-Lago since taking office cost the county's four airports almost a quarter of a million dollars' worth of business.

"They can't start an engine on the field during the TFR, so maintenance is difficult to do," Miller said. "We estimate that we lost here, at this airport, about $30,000 just from the three days last weekend…."It's going to be devastating for our business if this an every-weekend event," owner Marian Smith said…”

How many tweets did he send complaining about Obama golfing??
And it is early, but he is on pace to reach Obama's golf round totals!
