A helipad is far from the worst thing he’s done. I’m sure it’ll come with the usual Trump flair of fraud and circumventing process, but I can absolutely buy the argument that Marine 1 should have somewhere consistent to land that isn’t just grass–not that it can’t land in grass, but that it’ll fuck up the grass.
Ya, this seems like a case of folks going nuts over anything done by the Trump Administration. The fact is that US Presidents have been using helicopter travel from the White House for a long time and will continue with that going forward. Having a dedicated landing pad is likely better and safer. Sure, it’ll be bit of an eyesore, but the White House is supposed to be a functional home for the head of state, it’s going to have a few nods to functionality.
