Construction crews are ripping out a 100-foot-wide granite presidential seal from President Donald Trump's new White House helipad after he objected to its appearance and the South Lawn's downward slope, forcing a costly redo of weeks of work.
The reversal undoes a project Trump had ordered finished at speed. Photographs taken this week showed workers prying away the granite lettering that spelled out the seal of the president, only just fixed to the circular landing pad. By Tuesday it had been fully removed.
