But didn’t the *immediately preceding president* - a Republican, as I recall - take way more vacation time? https://twitter.com/jfpgaffney/status/683401027891015681 …

A tyrant who may well use the military to claim a third term … but also a hapless, incompetent idiot! Weird. https://twitter.com/kdrum/status/683388081643323392 …
