Trump just complained about Democrats taking vacations. He's going to Mar-a-Lago this afternoon.
Here's another President Trump tweet to toss in the irony pile.
On Wednesday, Trump launched an attack at congressional Democrats, tweeting that they "must return from their vacations and change the immigration laws." Trump failed to note that Republicans are also on congressional recess, but that was far from the biggest oversight in his tweet.
As Yahoo News' Colin Campbell was quick to point out, Trump probably won't even be in Washington, D.C. if Democrats hopped a direct flight back to the Hill right now. He's seemingly headed for his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, presumably after he swears in his new EPA head at 4 p.m. Wednesday.

Trump has also spent the last two Easter weekends in Mar-a-Lago, making this egg not too hard to crack.
