Since his inauguration, Trump visited his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida (pictured here) seven times, spending all or part of 25 days there, according to CBS News White House reporter Mark Knoller, who keeps meticulous vacation statistics on the presidents he’s covered. His tallies include weekend days that presidents are away from Washington.
Before departing for his latest trip, Trump had already spent 14 days at the New Jersey resort, and two days at the presidential Camp David retreat in rural Maryland, Knoller said.
By Knoller’s reckoning, Trump vacationed far more than Obama did at this point in his presidency, although he was gone less than Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush.
When Obama had been in office the same amount of time as Trump, he'd spent four days in his Chicago hometown and 17 days at Camp David in eight separate visits, according to Knoller.
So the count at this point in their presidency:
Trump - 41
Obama - 21
Trump has spent almost double the time away than Obama.
