Trump: "I always got helipads. Other people don't. Very hard to get. The hardest thing to get is a helipad. There's no harder zoning thing to get. And I had like 7 of them."

"It's got the seal of the White House on it in granite, in carved granite"

Trump prefers granite over grass because it reminds him of the rocks inside his head.

"Sikorsky" is a Russian word meaning, "US Taxpayers".

Sikorsky will probably get a pretty good ROI (Return On Investment) with that 'donation' of a helipad.

In the end, it's usually less costly to the taxpayers if they pay for something like this, despite what some people might at first assume. At least when it's a contract paid for with taxpayer money, their are legitimate reasons for demanding to see where the money went and what the taxpayers got in return. When something is built using 'private' money, it's just that, private, and we have no idea who got the contract, what promises were made, the quality of the work, etc.
