Donald Trump: “I wouldn't leave the White House very much because, you know, little things like these little trips where they get on…”

On the recordJanuary 7, 2018
I wouldn't leave the White House very much because, you know, little things like these little trips where they get on, they cost you a fortune. I love working. I'm not a vacation guy. I don't take vacations. I'm not like Obama where he takes Air Force One to Hawaii. I don't take vacations. I promise you, I will not be taking very long vacations if I take them at all. There's no time for vacation. Other people, they go away for weeks and weeks. I don't like taking vacations. Me, I like working. I like working. I really do. If I get elected president, I'm going to be in the White House a lot. I'm not leaving. We have deals to make. Who the hell wants to leave, right?
