As of Sunday, with the his return to Washington, D.C., from a working vacation at his New Jersey golf club,

He has spent the night at one of his private properties somewhat less often, on 44 — or 20.7 percent — of the nights since his Jan. 20 inauguration. He has spent 24 nights (11.3 percent) at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club; 18 nights (8.5 percent) at his Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago; and two nights (0.9 percent) at Trump Tower in New York City.
Sunday was one of his 155 nights at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. — nearly 73 percent of the nights since he took office.
He has spent the night on Air Force One twice during foreign travel (0.9 percent); one night at Camp David, on June 17 (0.5 percent); and 11 nights (5.2 percent) in various foreign cities.

Presidential sojourns may not be fully off-the-grid, feet-in-the-sand sorts of occasions, but they do add up.
George W. Bush had the most vacation days in recent history, taking 77 trips to his ranch in Texas over his two terms in office and enjoying nearly 900 days off,
according to The Washington Post. As of last fall, Barack Obama had taken 28 trips adding up to 217 days—time off that Trump frequently called out.
