Vice President JD Vance has been in the official and Aliady since January, from whom he has achieved more vacation days than most Americans could dream of in a decade. The man who built his brand railing against “elites” has basically become one – lives like the people he had been against.
His last trip? A summer holiday in the Cotsoolds, the English region, called “The Hamptons of Great Britain”. Vance rented a Extensive manor house This applies to about 10,000 US dollars a week. Between its vehicles, tiny country roads and the Protests followed. Saffe is skipping over the pond that his family vacation gets more press than privacy.
However, this is not an isolated incident. This is vacation No. 8 this year.
Italy, India, Nantucket, Disneyland, Vermont, Greenland – where you can call it is from. Some of these holidays even referred to the “official business”, which means that taxpayers were taking the bill. Like in March when he flew With the second to Greenland During the height of Trump’s fixation With the territory. The trip was recovered so badly by Grönland’s government, which cuts a trip to A lasting several days Three hours drive.
Imagine you fly all the way for less time than most people in grilling. The only thing that came from the trip were some Instagram desy photos of Vance and his dignity in the snow.
Then there are Disneyland that he Closed for his family. That is $ 2,500 with a Michelin star awarded dinner in San Diego. And who fake their birthday kayak tours when the military is literally increased the level of a river in Ohio Just to smooth its paddle conditions. Not just elite das is imperial level.
The bigger question is: how is there so much time? Most Americans cannot even be approved two consecutive weeks without being their boss. But the seated vice president managed to disappear almost every month -because she was. For the context, Mike Pence undertook barless personal trips in the first six months. Kamala Harris did not make a single personal vacation in her.
In the meantime, families here are depressed under the weight of the rising costs. Food, health care, gas – everyday basics become luxury. And those who are forced to “do more to do with less”, sees vice president, “less to do with more”.
The look is important. If you are the right man who does Donald Trump, the guy who designs America is that he is his champion and on the globe on wasteful retreats is not solidarity. It screams outside the hit.
If the invoices are piling up and the medical advantages shrink due to the “big beautiful calculation”, JD Vance may be difficult to find. Not in Washington. Not in Ohio. But like on vacation – again.
The message is clear: while everyday Americans are fighting to make ends meet, JD Vance is fighting for his next reservation.
