Object
Manchester Property Helipad
A small, privately sited helipad serving the President's Manchester residence, described as a lightweight landing surface tucked beside the sun porch rather than a landscaped estate feature. The helipad never appears in the briefing room; characters reference it as an absurd, offhand detail—C.J. names it to deflect a hostile question and trigger laughter—so it functions narratively as a rhetorical prop more than a physical focal point.

Purpose
Provide a private landing and launch surface for helicopters accessing the Manchester residence.
Significance
Acts as a humorous explanatory prop that contains press scrutiny: invocation of the helipad deflects attention, preserves administration composure, and converts a valuation controversy into comic relief while signaling control over public narrative.
