Real estate mogul and reality TV star Donald Trump Donald John TrumpAssange meets U.S. congressman, vows to prove Russia did not leak him documents A history lesson on the Confederacy for President Trump GOP senator: Trump hasn't 'changed much' since campaign MORE (R) says he wouldn’t get out much if he wins the Oval Office next year.
“I would rarely leave the White House because there’s so much work to be done,” Trump, 69, tells ITK. "I would not be a president who took vacations. I would not be a president that takes time off.”
“You don’t have time to take time off,” Trump adds.
We caught up with the “Celebrity Apprentice” star at the Tuesday opening of a new championship golf course at his Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Va.
Trump mentioned the links during his presidential announcement, saying he has "the best courses in the world," and inviting President Obama to try them out — hinting he could even retire early to do so.
His name is splashed all over luxury properties around the world, but Trump says he’d be happy to call 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. home.
“Yes, I would live in the White House because it’s the appropriate thing to do,” he says.
“I would work. And I would make the country great again. That’s what you have to do.”

My coworkers don't even believe that he goes golfing on weekends. They think it's fake news. This is why Trump gets away with so much lying to his base.

Remember, also, that after winning the election, he told us that the job of the presidency is a lot more than he thought it was.
So he was going to be too busy before he knew the job, and then the job was even bigger, so.... vacations!

The Secret Service can no longer pay hundreds of agents it needs to carry out an expanded protective mission – in large part due to the sheer size of President Trump's family and efforts necessary to secure their multiple residences up and down the East Coast.
