You know, President Trump comes out to greet a world leader. He sees door dings in the pillars, and says, \u2018Look at all this stuff that needs to be repaired,\u2019\u201c Burgum said. <\/p>\n<p>He described it as an \u201call-historic renovation work\u201d that involves restoring the plaster all the way up to the \u201ccrowns of those towers.\u201d The former governor turned Trump official said that when the president sees the \u201cdings,\u201d he calls him. <\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Trump also confirmed that he was building a helipad on the South Lawn of the White House. He said the project was his idea and argued it was needed because the new VH-92A Patriot helicopters used for Marine One were ripping up the grass. <\/p>\n<p>The helicopters manufactured by Sikorsky Aircraft have exhaust vents facing downward, which burn the grass, making landing on the South Lawn difficult. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3161\">Murdoch Piles Pain on Vance With Fox Host\u2019s Demand<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Construction workers were spotted at the White House on Thursday putting up new tarps featuring columns on them as the president focuses on another renovation project.
