AL Sen to GOP Leadership: We need to work as hard as President Trump is working.



AL Sen to GOP Leadership:

A freshman Republican senator said he sent a letter to GOP leadership asking them to cancel the annual August recess because there is a lot left to do on Capitol Hill.

"We need to work as hard as President Trump is working," Sen. Luther Strange (R-Ala.) said on "America's News HQ."

He and Eric Shawn joked that it would be nice to take a summer respite down in Gulf Shores, but said that work must come before play.

"We should be rolling up our sleeves," he said, adding that taking a break without fully addressing health care, the debt ceiling and tax reform "doesn't sit well" with him.

President Trump visited his golf course in Northern Virginia Sunday morning, his 37th trip to one of his own properties since he took office.

Trump arrived at the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Va., shortly after 10 a.m., according to a reporter traveling with the president. It’s unclear if Trump was golfing at the course.

Trump has made 37 trips to his golf courses since he took office in January, according to an NBC News tracker.

Congress working as hard as Trump? Is Luther Strange aware that taxpayers funding THAT many Country Club memberships could increase the budget deficit by a point or two?
