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.

Trump announced Tuesday he would be gifting the White House two flagpoles, one on the North Lawn and one on the South Lawn. Both were installed Wednesday morning.

“It is my Great Honor to announce that I will be putting up two beautiful Flag Poles on both sides of the White House, North and South Lawns. It is a GIFT from me of something which was always missing from this magnificent place,” Trump said in a Truth Social post on Tuesday night.

“These are the most magnificent poles made – They are tall, tapered, rust proof, rope inside the pole, and of the highest quality. Hopefully, they will proudly stand at both sides of the White House for many years to come!” he added.
