From his private golf club, the president says he's "working hard."

At 7:32 a.m. Eastern Time on Monday, President Trump proclaimed that despite the fact he’s scheduled to spend the next two weeks away from the White House at his private golf club in New Jersey, he’s still working hard.

About three minutes later, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) joined CNN for an interview. At one point, Blumenthal was asked if he’s worried that the Trump-Russia scandal might distract Democrats from focusing on issues that affect Americans more directly, like the economy.

Blumenthal said that while he understands voters may have more pressing concerns than Russia, “the Russia investigation, the empanelment of the grand jury, shows that Bob Mueller is pursuing this potential wrongdoing by the Russians, the attack on our democracy, seriously and diligently.”

He went on to mention the Trump campaign’s possible role in the scandal.

I guess this is proof that his "working vacation" isn't really a working one. :-) TheBlackAdder Aug 2017 #3
Yes, when he stopped by the wedding, he was working. For Trump Enterprises. Shrike47 Aug 2017 #5

It's like saying you have a big project at work and that means nothing else gets done at all and nothing else is ever talked about.

WE call that 'tee time.'

The administration calls it "no public meetings or events" scheduled at this time.

"Officials have said that the president will be working with his advisors while in Bedminster, but Monday’s schedule has no public meetings or events listed."

The chance that Trump might drop in at your wedding is one of the advertised benefits of the Club. You have to remember that the Trump brand is way more important than the USA.
