Both helicopters are made by Lockheed Martin\u2019s Sikorsky.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re about two and a half times more powerful than the old ones and when you land on the grass \u2026 the grass gets ripped out,\u201d Mr. Trump said at an Oval Office event. \u201cSo they landed the helicopter and half of the grass was sitting in front of the Oval Office. The rest of it was scattered all over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump said Sikorsky will pay for the new helipad, estimated to cost about $6 million, because it underestimated the helicopters\u2019 power and \u201cfelt a little bit guilty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The helipad, which will be made of granite and feature the White House seal, Mr. Trump said, adding that it could be used for outside events, including presidential press conferences.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homebuyerrelocation.com\/?p=3571\">Trump rings opening bell for stock markets and launches Trump Accounts for America\u2019s children<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo by doing this, we solved the problem, and we\u2019ll finally be able to retire 45-year-old helicopters,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr, Trump has made some substantial \u2014 and controversial \u2014 renovations to the White House in his second term.<\/p>\n<p>He paved over the Rose Garden, installed a black granite walkway along the West Wing Colonnade, redesigned the Oval Office, placed two large American flagpoles on both the North and South lawns, and demolished the East Wing to make way for a 90,000-square-foot ballroom.<\/p>\n<p>He also made small changes, such as putting a gold sign saying \u201cOval Office\u201d outside the Oval Office and adding a \u201cHall of Presidents\u201d on the White House colonnade that includes some unflattering remarks about recent Democratic presidents.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homebuyerrelocation.com\/?p=3569\">Belgian federation to challenge FIFA\u2019s decision to let Folarin Balogun play in World Cup match<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Trump on Monday revealed his plans for a helipad at the White House to accommodate the new Marine One, saying the advanced helicopter will ruin the grass on the South Lawn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3574,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3575","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-trump-central"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
