President Donald Trump showed off construction of the new White House helipad being built on the South Lawn.
"Instead of being on grass, now they’ll be using that almost like a table," Trump said on Wednesday. "They can have events on it. They can have people go there for cocktails and then walk to the ballroom."
Trump also hinted at the ballroom having a "military component" that "goes down five stories."
