Vicente Fox trolls Trump again, slams his 17-day vacation: 'If you're not happy with your job, just leave'

Fox, who was Mexico's president from 2000 to 2006, is one of the commander in chief's most outspoken critics. He's been particularly vocal about plans for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

This time, though, it appears the president's vacation has hit a nerve with him.

Fox took aim at the president's 17-day vacation, which he kicked off Friday at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

".@ RealDonaldTrump leaving on vacation, huh? What for? If you're not happy with your job, just leave. After all, it was never for you."

Fox was not alone, though, of his criticism of the president. The twittersphere lit up Friday with his foes slamming him for the length of the vacation.

Earlier in the day, Fox also mocked Trump for claiming that he is responsible for a growing economy. Fox tweeted an article claiming former President Barack Obama is responsible, adding, "See that, @realDonaldTrump , you've achieved nothing. You brag the results of others."

And earlier this week Fox wrote a tweet laced with profanity to express his opposition to a border wall.

"@RealDonaldTrump, once again I tell you: we're not paying for the # F---ing Wall ! Do not try to use us for your own good."

Laziest President in American History Departs for 17-Day Golf Resort Vacation

"Don't take vacations. What's the point? If you're not enjoying your work, you're in the wrong job," said Donald Trump knowingly in 2004. "Barack Obama played golf yesterday. Now he heads to a 10-day vacation on Martha's Vineyard. Nice work ethic," observed Donald Trump sarcastically in 2010. "President Obama is about to embark on a 17-day vacation in his 'native' Hawaii," exclaimed Donald Trump incredulously in 2013. "I would not be a president who took vacations," promised Donald Trump confidently in 2015. "I'm going to vacation for the next 17 days at a New Jersey golf resort with my name on it," whispered Donald Trump, probably, in 2017.

Yes, the president will reportedly leave the White House on Friday to begin a 17-day stay at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, which historians believe will be the longest period that anyone who does not reside full-time in Somerset County will voluntarily travel to and stay in Somerset County. (Imagine being told that you can take an all-expenses-paid vacation anywhere in the country and deciding on...New Jersey.) This is, of course, not the first time that Trump has enjoyed time away from the White House on taxpayers' dime—the price tag of his weekend jaunts this year alone are estimated to outpace President Obama's entire eight-year travel budget—but it will be the lengthiest trip he's taken yet.

As it so happens, the White House is undergoing renovations to its ancient HVAC system this month, so as long as West Wing staffers have to clear out anyway, perhaps now is a sensible time for the president to get away—especially given that he apparently doesn't think much of the place's condition as it is. Plus, this is traditionally a popular time for presidents to escape the dreaded late-summer swampiness of Washington, which is generally unfit for human habitation between now and Labor Day. (Of course, none of those previous vacation-taking presidents spent years disparaging the very idea of taking a vacation as president, but still.)

Anyway, I would like to take this opportunity to wish Donald Trump the most relaxing, refreshing, blissful holiday imaginable. Don't even worry about the grand jury that Robert Mueller has convened as part of his sprawling investigation into your inner circle's alleged connections to the Russian government! It's probably fine! Just enjoy yourself, man! In fact, if at the end of 17 days in beautiful (?) suburban New Jersey you decide that you simply can't bear to leave such an enchanting (?) place and return to Washington to resume the tedious task of governing, that's quite all right. People will understand.
 
It's nice because he makes money twice. One by not paying for transportation/housing (I get it's his property, but that's one less room for rent, plus employees/services still have to be paid), and twice because Trump's company will still bill for the accommodations of him and his staff.

Essentially he could just got to the treasury and ask them to write him a check to his name while sitting on his ass in Washington. I'd at least respect this corrupt ass not being a hypocrite.
