trump vacation SCRIPT

Hello, my name is (YOUR NAME) and I am calling today because I find the shear hypocrisy of Donald Trump's complaints about President Obama's vacationing to be infuriating. Trump has vacationed 53 days since taking office which is three times the amount President Obama did by this time in his tenure.

At the same time, Trump continues to vacation on his properties, giving them unfair publicity and lining his family's pockets at tax-payer's expense.

They call the White House the People's House for a reason. We should not have to fit the bill for lavish trips when a crucial symbol for our country is a perfectly good alternative. The White House was big enough to accommodate Trump during routine renovations. If he continues to insist to travel on needless vacations, then he should pay for it himself.
