When someone makes these many improvements to a temporary residence — they may not be planning on moving out.
J6v2 is knocking…
Equal chance they’re just insane/demented.
It seems like he fucked up the lawn with the UFC fight on purpose so he could slip this in.
We don’t even get a warning anymore. He just wakes us and starts “renovating”. I am surprised the east wing is still standing.
I’m surprised his country is still standing
So less than a month ago Trump held a UFC fight on this very lawn.
ScottsMiracle-Gro said it will donate “a combination of monetary and product support” to the National Park Service, including plans to re-sod the lawn and use a special blend of turfgrass chosen by Trump to reseed it. The company expects the lawn to be fully restored by spring of next year.
Now that lawn is turning into a helipad? What happened to the company that said they’re going to fix it? What happened to that money?
I know the obvious answer is someone just pocketed $1 million dollars, but who?
he’s still building the ball room despite the court orders?!
I for one am shocked. Shocked I tell you.
Well not that shocked
Looks like the methy neighbor’s house who is always starting a project but can’t finish any of them.
This isn’t the behavior of a man who is planning on leaving anytime soon
It’s really such a beautiful visual metaphor of our country now.
The left looks fine on the surface but is actually ineffective, the right is a huge mess of grifting and the center is much more fascist than they will admit?
and the whole thing is built upon the bones and bodies of natives in a burial ground, yep
TBH I never even thought of the left/right metaphor in this
Obama’s rusty old Suburban, up on blocks in the front yard, grass growing up around it…
JUST WAITING ON PARTS
just needs a few dead Teslurs with flat tires.
The vandalism continues. Maybe a helicopter will land on his head
This man has no intention of ever leaving the white house
The Trump White House looks like it should be in a trailer park.
You know what, Stuart?

At this point, I’m reminded of that song on an almost daily basis.
The whole MAGA anti-trans thing is just about pure “what the queers are doing to the soil” energy.
With all the other mouth breathing racists
How dare you imply people living in trailer parks are low class enough to have the Trump White House in them!
Trump like it should be in a trailer park. Or working a discount used car lot
He’s not building it, a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin is building it. Come on, why would he pay for it when he can corrupt his way through it.
Clearly the actions of a man determined on the peaceful transfer of power.
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.
I don’t see how you can fuck up the grass more than ripping it up and paving it over.
It’s not for the helicopter, it’s for the Orange Turd, because his plumped up ankles can’t support him walking on the uneven grass.
I hope they finish that granite so that it’s really slippery when it rains. I want to see Pig Man faceplant and knock out a few front teeth, ideally with a soundtrack of Yakity Sax.
Hell ya.
But does it have to land in that exact spot and ugly up one of the most beautiful and iconic views in the world? I say this not even being American.
Is he gonna try to put his face/name on it
Given the trouble he has walking, he will almost certainly put his face on it. Or did you mean, like, a picture of his face?
Nice place for dogs to pinch a loaf.
Doesn’t every WH renovation get named for the president who did it? Lincoln bedroom. Roosevelt theater. Truman bowling alley.
Trump Ballroom is obviously an occasional use facility, but “Trump heliport” is something they’ll say on the news every day for a thousand years.
Should keep the gold bathroom so there is more use of the phrase"Trump toilet"
Bloom county had Trump nailed 40 years ago.
While that may be traditional there’s also a solid chance Trumps presidency gets more or less scrubbed by successors be it following presidents or US successor states. Assuming the site isn’t just abandoned out of spite and left to rot.
Seal of the US.
How often does it land. Seems odd to have a permanent pad.
They would put out three big metal plates for the thing to land on; so not only aiming for the right section of lawn, but getting the wheels exactly on the plates. And the new helicopters vented their exhaust downward, so burning the grass became a thing.
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.
Follow up question tho: why has this never been an issue until now, I haven’t heard a single WH staffer or president bemoan the lack of a helipad. So it seems like he’s just rearranging things to suit his style as usual, treating the People’s House like it’s his fourth vacation property.
Honestly it may very well be that they need a helipad cause Trump can’t walk on uneven terrain anymore. Either that or they need a stable flat surface in case they need to wheel him about. Remember that last physically disabled president comparable to Trump’s disability was FDR and he was president before helicopters were particularly reliable. Mind you I still think it’s stupid for eat shit and die reasons but it is a potentially valid point if it was anyone other than Trump.
From what I understand, it didn’t actually use to be a problem; the older helicopters vented their exhaust upwards. The newer ones vent downward, and burn the grass.
It’s just an ato to cover-up how badly he fucked up the lawn for his other vanity project
I haven’t heard a single WH staffer or president bemoan the lack of a helipad.
You spend a lot of time hanging about with WH staffers and Presidents?
he’s just rearranging things to suit his style as usual,
Honestly, it’s probably not necessary. But, Presidents do regularly make changes to the White House and its grounds. Whether we like it or not, he is the President and the current resident of the White House. Historically, that means he has some latitude in making the place his own for his stay. Remember that even fixtures like the Rose Garden were added and modified by previous residents. This is just the most recent one putting his touches on the place. And those touches can and likely will be updated by future Presidents. Let’s save the outrage for stuff that actually matters.
Tearing down a whole wing is a bit excessive though.
Is he not just damaging the property repeatedly and often because Putin tells him to, otherwise Putin is releasing some Epstein videos?
there is nothing that could come out about trump that would affect him in any meaningful way.
I hope it says “Sikorsky” on it in big bold letters covering the whole thing. That would be perfect.
