Trump has no plans, he seeks no approval, and simply states "build here, build there" and does not care about safety, proper notification of anyone involved. Everyone has to "WATCH OUT" for Trump.
Donald "Reckless and careless" Trump. The FAA should have issued citations to Trump of reckless endangerment.
-The NTSB report noted Marine One (click here) has been taking off from the Ellipse instead of the South Lawn amid construction on the White House grounds, which include the White House ballroom and a helipad being installed on the South Lawn.
-Technicians with the Federal Aviation Administration also found there was “not adequate line-of-sight to ensure communications between the radio transmitter/receiver sight and The Ellipse,” according to the report.
-Marine One tried contacting air traffic controllers twice at Reagan Washington National Airport to give a standard three-minute liftoff warning used to clear airspace, though one transmission was not received while the other was “broken and completely unreadable.”
-The air traffic control tower at Reagan cleared a jet for takeoff because it did not receive the warning from Marine One, which eventually warned the tower after gaining altitude.
-The helicopter carrying Trump flew 0.82 miles apart laterally and about 700 feet vertically from a passenger jet as a result (FAA rules say aircraft in Class B airspace are required to be separated at least 1.72 miles laterally or 500 feet vertically).
-The report noted the Marine One crew told Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport’s air traffic controllers a week prior to the incident that communications “had been spotty.”
-The FAA said earlier this month Trump was “never in danger” during the incident....

That is bullshit. No near miss is safe. There are profound safety concerns for all involved. Do we have to continue to repeat mistakes over and over? Do we?
