The Mar-A-Lago Luxury Trump Has To Give Up

The use of Marine One, which refers to any of the helicopters available exclusively for the use of the President of the United States, was one of the many perks Donald Trump enjoyed while he was Commander-in-Chief. These choppers are state-of-the-art, and Britannica says they can fly more than 150 miles an hour, they can hold up about 14 passengers, and they each have a bathroom. But because Trump doesn’t have access to Marine One anymore, his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, will also be giving up a facility it has had since 2017 — a helipad, which was originally built to accommodate then President Trump’s needs. The Palm Beach Town Manager said personnel with ties to Mar-a-Lago had not asked about keeping the facility, but about how to have the helicopter landing site removed, according to the Palm Beach Daily News. A permit to restore the site to its original condition won’t come cheap. The Palm Beach contractors hired to do the job say that it will cost them $15,000
