President Joe Biden has taken a stunning amount of time away from the White House — 418 vacation days off by the end of 2023, to be exact.

Biden has been in office since Inauguration Day on Jan. 20, 2021.

For 1,073 days the United States has been under his direction, suffering through massive inflation, an open border, and both civil and global unrest.

Biden has been out of office for 38 percent of those days, which averages to a three-day weekend every single week.

If this were a job in the private sector, the 81-year-old would have been pushed into retirement long ago.

Instead, Biden is running for re-election… but not until his week-long trip to the U.S. Virgin Islands is done.

On Wednesday, the 46th president left for the island of St. Croix to stay at a “wealthy friend’s” tropical villa, which normally rents for $6,000.

The beachfront home is owned by Democratic donors Bill and Connie Neville, but the Biden family doesn’t pay for their stays (the first family stayed at the luxurious home last New Year’s Eve, too, while a deadly winter blast killed Americans in Buffalo, New York).

The free vacations have drawn the ire of ethics watchdogs, who say the gift of vacation stays at mega-donor houses should be disclosed on Biden’s annual ethics forms.

“Joe Biden has been staying for free at donors’ homes for years and has never included these vacations on disclosure forms,” Mark Paoletta, the White House budget office’s top lawyer in former President Donald Trump’s administration, told The New York Post. “These are not longtime friends, they are wealthy donors, so there’s no excuse to not disclose.”

Biden has also used taxpayer funds to spruce up his own Delaware vacation home.

In 2021, Biden reportedly spent $490,324 of taxpayer cash for the “purchase and installation of security fencing” at his Rehoboth Beach home — despite insisting that walls don’t work.
