Trump flees for luxury vacation as grand jury pursues Russian Federation collusion

The leaked transcript of Trump’s January 27 phone call with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto-published Thursday by the Washington Post, along with a leaked transcript of a call with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull-shows that this was obvious to Trump as well.

“They definitely don’t waste any time trying to be charming or friendly, these people in the White House communications department”, Shipnuck said. Mr. Trump argued in favor of his proposed border wall during a January 27 discussion with the Mexican president, and he called a previously approved refugee deal between the USA and Australia “ridiculous” during his tumultuous talk with Mr. Turnbull, the transcripts revealed.

Flynn – who was ousted mere weeks after being named Trump’s national security adviser over mischaracterizing contacts with Russian officials – is at the center of the Russia controversy plaguing the White House.

Journalists came to anticipate Obama pressers before his vacations in August and December, though he didn’t follow through every time.

And Trump’s August getaway will likely cost another $40,000, McNamera says.

This week, the USA congress, which is seen by Trump supporters as a part of the “Deep State” curbed Presidential powers to operate the foreign policies.

Yesterday The Wall Street Journal (paywall) reported that a grand jury has been impaneled in Washington DC has part of Robert Mueller’s investigation into the president and his campaign. Trump has already outpaced his predecessors in the number of vacation days taken at this point in their tenure, as he frequently made weekend jaunts to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida and trips to his golf courses across the East Coast. Presidents Obama and Clinton each took several trips to the MA island. George H.W. Bush had his home at Walker Point in Kennebunkport, Maine, while President Jimmy Carter went back to his home in Plains, Ga.

Democrats have recently favored Martha’s Vineyard as a summer getaway.

Which leads to another truism: Presidents really don’t have vacations. “After all, it was never for you”, the former Mexican president tweeted.

It seems the President has since had a change of heart.

In the U.S. system, a grand jury can compel testimony and the production of documents.

“The Secret Service takes them all, so I know he’s coming”, Dragseth says.

“It’s the most obvious and blatant hypocrisy”, Troy said.

As perhaps a warning against avoiding a break from a very stressful job, Troy cited the example of a president who did not take any long vacations: James K. Polk.
