The helicopter landing pad has been completed at President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club, in time for the president to use when he arrives at the estate tonight.

The landing pad was built to accommodate Marine One. It is on the western lawn of the 20-acre estate.

The pad enables Trump to travel by helicopter when making the four-mile trip from the Palm Beach International Airport to his “winter White House.”

Air Force One is expected to arrive tonight at 6:30 p.m.

The president has been landing at the airport, then taking a limo to Mar-a-Lago during weekend visits to the estate. The visits require travel restrictions and detours, and have triggered traffic delays.

The pad will enable Trump to ride in Marine One from the airport to the island without his motorcade tying up traffic. It does not, however, change Secret Service-mandated road closures around Mar-a-Lago, and the Southern Boulevard Bridge will be closed while Marine One is in the air.

1. Bless his heart.

[Squinch]

2. Wonder how many meals on wheels that would have paid for.

[dchill]

4. About 1.5 million.

More or less.

[Squinch]

5. I hate him so much...

[dchill]

8. He is an insult to awareness.

18. +1

3. there goes another 3 million of our tax dollars

to fund republican comrade casinos weekly golf game. What a waste of tax money. I want a refund from the Republicans.

[kskiska]

21. Especially since

he might not be in office very long. What happens to all this if he's removed?

[leftstreet]

6. No more risk of seeing protestors on his way to Trumpland n/t

[kimbutgar]

7. What is the cost to US tax payers?

I remember in right wing world they were all upset over Obama going to Hawaii on his winter break and now every weekend Cheeto is costing tax payers more in these 6 weeks then the entire 8 years of the Obama years. Hypocrisy is thy name Cheeto.

9. I guess one of the Marine Ones has to be permanently stationed down there.

10. He's just such a horrible person/thing. n/t

[Freethinker65]

11. Quarantine time

[Mendocino]

12. He plans on cutting

Great Lakes cleanup initiatives from $300m to $10 million a year. His nearly weekly trips to Money-Ill-Laundered have already cost more than he is proposing for preserving the integrity of 25% of the worlds fresh water supply.

There is talk that the new revised budget would cut it to even less than $10m.

14. As someone who has lived in Chicago all my life and grew up 4 blocks from the beach,

this pisses me off no end. Lake Michigan is an important natural resource in the Midwest.

[Mendocino]

15. I've lived within 25 miles

of the Great lakes for nearly 60 years, except for 3 months in SE Ohio. I doubt dt have ever seen the Lakes, except when he flies over them.

[greatauntoftriplets]

19. He may have seen them from an upper floor of the Chicago building

if he ever looked out the window.

13. I know why he wanted this

Palm Beach County hates him. With a passion. Check out the drive for him along Southern Blvd to his home on Palm Beach. There are at least 200 people each weekend he's here that protest him all the way. This helipad eliminates it for him. This way he's an isolated fool.

Look Dolt. We are still out there resisting you. You can't hide. We can still find you.

[TeamPooka]

16. he can run but he can't hide.

[Initech]

17. Must be nice to get a private helicopter ride directly to your private mansion.

[dalton99a]

20. A great way to improve your property value.

If I had any money, I'd invest in scotch tape futures.
