Trump's Helipad of Hubris The latest White House renovation project to draw criticism is a $5 6 million granite helicopter landing pad, courtesy of Lockheed Martin subsidiary Sikorsky.
The project, which began on July 1, is expected to be completed in September. President Trump has touted the helipad as a "beautiful thing" that will accommodate the new VH 92A Marine One helicopters.
But what's striking about this project is not just its hefty price tag or the fact that it's being funded by a private company with ties to the White House.
