[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here are more details about Vance and family’s summer vacation plans while tourists in the opposite direction to the US has plummeted due to Trump’s new policies and tariffs.

This from the article ,,,,

[b] Earlier in August, Vance and his family are expected to visit London, despite the vice-president having previously expressed reservations about the city, which he said – shortly before last year’s presidential election – was “not English any more.”
[/b]

So Vance made a statement about how London looks more like his immigrant wife’s country than it does England.   [/quote]

His wife is not an immigrant.  She was born in the U.S.  But, you knew that.[/quote]

Usha had a scholarship from Bill Gates to do her master’s degree at Cambridge.  She’d much rather be vacationing in the UK than in MAGA-land.

What shocks me is how much vacation-time they’re spending out of the country-Germany. Greenland, India, England/the UK, plus vacations to San Diego and Vermont-he’s barely been VP for a half a year.

But I guess if it’s at taxpayer expense they’ll milk it for all it’s worth.[/quote]

Like Obama?

You might try reading the article you posted, which is about the 8 years of Obama travel. JD Vance has taken far more taxpayer funded vacations in his first six months in office than Obama did. But then again, Obama was actually working.[/quote]

As is Vance.  He tacked on family vacations to the ends of his business trips.  It's clear you have a very dull life if this is the kind of thing you're fixating on.  Presidents - and Vice Presidents - take their families with them on work trips/vacations all the time.  But of course, your partisan blinders prevent you from admitting these facts.[/quote]

JD Vance isn't tacking this trip onto anything work related.  The British certainly aren't happy about having him in the Cotswolds, major protests are planned.

He took his family to Germany tacking a trip on to a speech where he praised neo Nazis.

He/Usha tried to take his kid to do dogsledding in Greenland, then had to pretend to tack something US military related onto his trip, when protests hit that too due to Trump's threatening to have the US takeover Greeland.

Nobody wants him, but we pay for JD/Usha to go everywhere.

:lol:  Bless your heart!  You poor, put-upon Democrat.  It’s almost as if no presidents or VPs have ever vacationed with their families.  [/quote]

Of course Democrats have done this? But dragging 3 kids around for “work vacations” every month for 6 months? To places that are popular tourist destinations?  I’m sure the Pope didn’t need that “official meeting” with JD on Easter weekend the day before he died.[/quote]

It really wouldn’t matter what Vance did or didn’t do, your issue is that you’re obsessed with finding fault, regardless.  If he didn’t travel abroad, you’d accuse him of ignoring other countries/being isolationist, etc.  At this point, you and your lot are beyond comical.[/quote]
