Who is using the Trump corporate chopper at Mar-a-Lago?

For over a week, a private helicopter bearing the Trump logo and name has sat on the helipad at Mar-a-Lago -- a helipad that is supposed to be used only for presidential business.

Until Donald Trump became president, aircraft were forbidden from landing in the exclusive island town. But when the Marines came to town and asked to build a helipad for Marine One, the presidential helicopter, the Town Council agreed - with conditions.

The helipad must be removed when the president leaves office, town officials said. Until then, the helipad can only be used official presidential business.

The helicopter currently sitting on the pad is co-owned by DT Connect II and DT Connect II Member Corp. The president’s sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr., are executives at those companies, according to state corporate records.

The Post wants to know if the corporate helicopter is being used for official WH business...and if so, whether the Trump corporations that own it will ask the WH for reimbursement.

They asked the Secret Service, which referred the questions to the White House. Which didn't respond.

2. The sheriff needs to impound that chopper.

I would pay good money to see that helicopter being hauled-off top the county impound lot for violating Town ordinances. After all, it's right-wing dogma that sheriffs are the ultimate Constitutional authority in the USA, and not in the least subordinate to Federal law enforcement, right?

3. All I can say is that they are a bunch of elitists

and they feel entitled to do whatever they want. Snowflakes who just don't want to ride in a limo and sit through traffic lights.

(Taking the opportunity to throw their nasty name calling back at them!)

8. Where is the official Marine Presidential helicopter?

If it isn't at Mar-a-Lago and 45 is then, yes, he's charging taxpayers for the ride.

11. Rules are for peasants says Donald Trump.

12. The Trump sons were at the SPGA golf event in May

And so was the helicopter on Thursday of that week.

The rest of the time, the weather was NOT ideal for helicopter flying- I suppose they used limos instead if they needed it (rumor was that the Trump kin rented out a house off the course for the weekend).
