唐纳德·特朗普总统位于白宫南草坪的直升机停机坪项目似乎正在进行改造，部分施工已被推翻重做。
白宫此前从未设有直升机停机坪，但新款总统专用直升机VH-92A“爱国者”在试飞时对草坪造成了损坏，因此需要为海军陆战队一号直升机的常规起降寻找解决方案。特朗普曾表示，新停机坪将采用“雕刻花岗岩”铺设，该项目于6月他在自家后院举办终极格斗冠军赛（UFC）后不久启动。
但近日，部分施工明显被拆除逆转。
上周的图片显示，工人正在这个直径100英尺的圆形停机坪周围安装印有“美国总统印章”的字母标识。但本周的图片显示，工人正在拆除这些字母。到周二时，所有标识已被完全移除。
当被问及此次改造——以及这些改动是外观调整还是功能性改动时——白宫拒绝透露细节。一名官员表示：“我们将持续进行改进并做出相应调整，作为 ongoing 项目的一部分，以最佳匹配白宫的实际需求。”
《华盛顿邮报》率先报道了停机坪施工的变动情况。
特朗普此前曾表示，该项目将由拥有西科斯基飞机公司的洛克希德·马丁公司全额出资，西科斯基正是新款直升机的制造商。但目前尚不清楚此次改动将如何影响此前特朗普所称的“500万至600万美元”的项目成本，以及洛克希德·马丁是否需要承担额外费用。
洛克希德·马丁公司拒绝置评，将相关问询转至白宫。
作为前房地产开发商，特朗普亲自参与了此次停机坪项目，这是他牵头改造白宫及华盛顿特区周边基础设施的十余项举措之一。

其中许多拟议项目已陷入法律纠纷，包括他提出的白宫9万平方英尺宴会厅、肯尼迪中心大规模翻新工程，以及在一处交通环岛建造新凯旋门的计划。上周公布的CNN民调显示，58%的美国人对特朗普在华盛顿特区开展的建筑计划感到不满或愤怒。
与此同时，总统本人领导的司法部近期将政府对林肯纪念堂倒影池的翻新工程描述为“一团糟”，花费超过1400万美元。
多位消息人士透露，对特朗普而言，建筑工程并非副业，而是其政治遗产的基石。这位总统对设计细节有着近乎严苛的追求，这让与他讨论过建筑项目的消息人士都感到意外。
白宫发言人戴维斯·英格尔将尚未完工的停机坪项目誉为特朗普领导力的象征。
“多年来，白宫一直迫切需要一处位于园区内的合格直升机停机坪，这将让总统能够安全着陆，同时保护美丽的南草坪免受海军陆战队一号直升机强劲排气的破坏，”英格尔周二在一份声明中说道。
他补充道：“多亏了特朗普总统，白宫从未看起来如此出色，而在他的领导下，白宫还将持续变得更好。”

Trump’s White House helipad being partially disassembled, images show

President Donald Trump’s helipad project on the White House South Lawn appears to be undergoing changes that have resulted in some of the work being reversed.
The White House has never had a helipad, but a new model of helicopter used for presidential transport, the VH-92A Patriot, scorched the lawn in test runs, requiring a solution for the routine Marine One touchdowns. Construction on the new landing zone, which Trump has said would be made of “carved granite,” began shortly after the conclusion of his backyard UFC fight in June.
But in recent days, some of the construction has been visibly reversed.
Last week, images showed workers affixing letters spelling out “Seal of the President of the United States” around the circular, 100-foot-wide landing pad. But in images from this week, workers are seen disassembling the letters. And by Tuesday, they had been fully removed.
Asked about the changes — and whether they were cosmetic or operational — the White House declined to give details. “We continue to make improvements and adjust accordingly as part of the ongoing project to best match the needs of the White House,” an official said.
The Washington Post first reported the changes to the helipad construction.
Trump has previously said the project would be fully paid for by Lockheed Martin, which owns Sikorsky Aircraft, the manufacturer of the new helicopters. But it’s not clear how the changes could affect the cost — which Trump previously said would be a “$5 million or $6 million” project — and whether Lockheed Martin would shoulder any additional burden.
Lockheed Martin declined to comment, referring inquires to the White House.
Trump, a former real estate developer, has been personally involved in the helipad project, marking one of more than a dozen efforts he’s overseen to reshape infrastructure around the White House and Washington, DC, more broadly.

Many of those proposed projects, including his 90,000-square-foot ballroom at the White House, a major renovation of the Kennedy Center and the construction of a new triumphal arch atop a traffic circle, have been bogged down with legal challenges. And 58% of Americans said they feel dissatisfied or angry about the construction projections Trump has undertaken in DC, according to CNN polling released last week.
Meanwhile, the president’s own Justice Department recently described the administration’s renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool as a “botched” job to the tune of more than $14 million.
For Trump, sources say construction isn’t just a side project; it’s the foundation of his legacy. The president involves himself with meticulous design details — to an extent that has surprised sources who have met with him about his construction projects.
White House spokesperson Davis Ingle heralded the unfinished helipad project as a symbol of Trump’s leadership.
“For years, the White House has desperately needed a proper Helipad on White House grounds that will allow the President to land safely and also protect the beautiful South Lawn grass from the fierce exhaust fumes of the incredible Marine One,” Ingle said in a statement on Tuesday.
He continued: “Thanks to President Trump, the White House has never looked better, and it will only continue to get better under his leadership.”
