How is the next leader of the free world spending his first few days in office? By going on vacation, of course!

While there are countless things to be outraged about, Stephen Colbert took the President-elect to task for this particular excess last night on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

According to Trump, he doesn't "want to be signing and get it mixed up with lots of celebration."

Ah yes, the classic story of the American president who was so overwhelmed with joy he just couldn't sit down to sign a bill.
