Mulvaney warns of safety concerns over White House’s new flagpoles
BY SARAH FORTINSKY 06/18/25 09:16 PM ET
Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney on Wednesday raised safety concerns about President Trump’s newly installed flagpoles at the White House.
In an interview on NewsNation’s “The Hill,” the former Trump official questioned how the president’s helicopter would continue to land safely on the South Lawn, where a flagpole now stands.
“I see a problem for where they’re supposed to land the helicopter — because this is right on the South Lawn, and I’m not really sure,” Mulvaney said in the interview when asked about the flagpoles.
“I imagine they considered this, they’d be landing someplace else, but I’m looking at this going, as the chief of staff, who’s in charge of military operations at the White House, ‘Where are we landing the helicopter without creating an increased risk for the president of the United States?’ I don’t know the answer to that yet,” he added. … The Hill reached out to the White House for comment.

Kinda like that Seinfeld episode, Fusilli Jerry.
Sir, you worked for this numbskull. You know damn well they didn't consider anything but the Toddler's most recent demand.
