Trump On Vacation After Inauguration? President-Elect Under Fire For Plans To Take A Break Right After His Swearing-In

While President-elect Donald Trump’s team has said he wants to get down to work immediately, the 45^th president of the United States may have different plans.

In an interview with the Times, Trump said, “One of the first orders I’m gonna sign – day one – which I will consider to be Monday as opposed to Friday or Saturday. Right? I mean my day one is gonna be Monday because I don’t want to be signing and get it mixed up with lots of celebration, but one of the first orders we’re gonna be signing is gonna be strong borders.”

Trump’s comment, however, drew the ire of a number of people on social media who took to Twitter to criticize the to-be president’s attitude towards his duties.

Following the swearing-in ceremony and the inaugural parade, Trump is scheduled to return to the Capitol for a Congressional lunch as President Obama and his family fly to Andrews Air Force Base as the former first family.

Three official inaugural galas — the Liberty and Freedom balls at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, which are expected to attract 8,000 and 25,000 attendees respectively, and the Salute to Our Armed Services ball — are scheduled for Friday evening.

Following a celebration-filled day, Trump will attend a prayer breakfast at the Washington National Cathedral on Saturday, even as hundreds of thousands of people take part in a massive protest — the Women’s March on Washington — in the city.

Trump has been taking a special interest in organizing the inauguration’s festivities, the Presidential Inaugural Committee’s chairman, Tom Barrack, told The New York Post: “He’s into every detail of everything.”

“I beg him all the time to go back to running the free world and let me focus on setting the tables,” Barrack said, adding that following the events, “he’s back to work.”
