The POTUS, R or D or other affiliation, is never on vacation. In fact I
challenge you to show me in the job description or the POTUS or in the
his T&A (Time and Attendance) reporting that any president has ever
recorded a day of vacation.

That's hilarious. Presidents are as involved as they want to be. Those
who were largely unaware of was going on around them, like Reagan and
Wubya, took a lot of them. Those who cared about policy and such, like
Clinton and Obama, took fewer. The records are there for all to see.
Look 'em up.

It's more complicated than that, tied in with Americans' fear and
suspicion of each other (racism) and how expertly those biases are
manipulated by big healthcare for its own benefit.
