The Trump administration has focused heavily on federal employees who had been allowed during the Biden administration to work from home, instead of coming in to the office.

A new report now reveals Joe Biden didn’t stay “in the office” much himself.

From the New York Post: Biden, 82, took more time off than any other US president in modern history, spending 577 of his 1,463 days in office – or 39% of his presidency — on vacation, according to shocking new data compiled by the Republican National Committee.

The average American — who gets 11 paid vacation days a year — would have to work 52 years to rack up as much down time as Biden scored in his four years.

That staggering tally includes R&R 43 of the 70 days — or 61% — after being pressured by fellow Dems in July 21 to drop his re-election bid.

The report notes that President Trump spent 26% of his first term away from Washington, D.C., which amounted to 281 of his 1,461 days in office.

However, nearly every time Trump was away from D.C., he was still conducting business, whether at his Mar-a-Lago estate or one of his other golf course resorts, or on other trips.  Trump was never caught simply lying on the beach, as Biden often did.

The New York Post provides details of other former presidents and the time they spent away from the White House:

  • George H.W. Bush, who spent 37% of his presidency — 543 of 1,461 days – away from the White House.
  • Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama vacationed for just 11% of their two-term presidencies
  • Jimmy Carter took only 79 days of breaks, accounting for 5% of his single term in office
  • George W. Bush spent 1,020 – or 35% — of his 2,922 days in office away from DC in his two terms, including plenty of time at his Texas ranch

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) said of Biden’s huge amount of vacation time, “Considering how awful his misguided policies were and the various crises they created, from the border to inflation, imagine the damage he would have done if he worked every day? I’m not sure if we should be mad or thankful he worked so little.”

Joe Biden’s many vacations were well-documented on social media.
