"As of August 7, 2023, President Joe Biden just took his 367th day of vacation in just 2.5 years, which sets a record compared to any other president in recent history.
Biden has been on vacation for roughly 40% of his time in office. He is outpacing every single one of his modern predecessors.
Critics have pointed out that Biden has been on vacation for an entire year, even though his vacation days are not consecutive."
This was from MSN, but their were of LOT of similar stories. Of course left wing fact checkers claim it is not true. And, pf course the White House claims that most of these were working days, just away from the White House. And it IS true that ALL Presidents are subject to interruption at any time, and are essentially 'on the clock' 24/7/365.
YOUR statements, Perm, are patently false, because #1 the same was true of Trump. If he was at the golf course, so was his work. Just as Biden's P**********l work follows him where ever he goes. And #2, the White House records his days as scheduled 'vacations', so you can not accurately claim that he has taken none.
You need to sit your pants down in some permafrost to try and smother those flames.

If you follow the link you will get a very quick comparison.. of trump and Biden.. Joe tends to business of the USA, trump, if he did anything, it was for his own business and not the usa..
But that is all beside the point.. the records show them as being on vacation nearly the same number of days in the same length of time.. Nothing can change that fact..
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/05/22/biden-trump-trips-compared/Biden leaves D.C. as much as Trump did — but there’s a difference
When Trump established this pattern during his presidency, it spurred a lot of media attention, including from myself. His defenders and the current president’s critics have regularly pointed to Biden’s own time away from the White House as an exoneration of Trump’s trips or an indictment of the media’s newfound lack of interest — or both. But there is an obvious, important difference between the two situations.
First, the numbers. By my tally of Biden’s presidency, using White House pool reports collected by Factba.se, Biden has spent all or part of 256 days of his presidency either on vacation or at one of his homes in Delaware. He has all or part of 75 days at Camp David (the unofficial designated getaway for presidents) and 68 days overseas.
By contrast, Trump had spent all or part of 250 days at a property he owned by that point in his presidency. He had spent all or part of 18 days at Camp David and 45 days on foreign trips.
By contrast, Trump’s 250 days spent in full or in part at properties he owned were almost all at clubs and facilities where he would be interacting with customers for his private business. His interactions with Mar-a-Lago customers in that facility’s dining room became the stuff of p**********l legend. He’d often dip out to the Trump Organization golf course in Virginia on the weekend, playing rounds of golf with club members or other individuals whose identities weren’t revealed to the public.
This, in a nutshell, is the difference. Trump’s trips out of the White House were generally to places where his presence was a direct asset to his business and therefore his personal income. His interactions with club members and their guests were linked to various efforts to influence public policy. Not to mention that some guests had front-row seats for history.
Golf Magazine’s 2017 revelation about Trump’s view of the White House explained how the president happened to let his disparagement slip.
“Trump is often at his most unguarded among the people who pay for their proximity to him,” the magazine wrote.
This is the environment in which Trump had spent most of his 250 days at his own properties by May 2019.
