… the 10 million that showed up for the thousand or so “no kings” rallies.

Exactly how does somebody install a deer stand in a tree close to where Air Force one lands and
the President gets on and off it and not be seen?

KKKoroline Levitt … Trump under attack from ANTIFA.

Maybe it is a photographer’s perch? Just as much evidence for that, which is to say, no real evidence. Or a kid’s tree house. Bird watching stand?

my first reaction as well. Looks like something a photographer would rig up trying to get good photos. Hell, if I were a photographer, that's something I would probably do.
Hopefully someone will come forward and lay claim to it so we don't have to endure another "Democrats are trying to kill Trump" news cycle. It's getting really tiring

Most look like a kid's tree house.If all it looks like is a platform on stilts in a tall hedge, it could very well be a Paparazzi stand or an old Secret Service station that isn't being used anymore. Wouldn't put it past this administration to forget they put it up in 2017/2018 for AF1 arrivals.

I've also seen landing platforms with wind socks and other visual landing objects around airports flying into SeaTac back in the day; they could also look like a hunting stand.

I rather doubt a hunting stand could have been put up near any *rump routine hang-outs after the "attempts" during the run up to the election.
And it being found now -almost a year after the selection - is highly suspicious timing. (Epstein, Epstein....)

how many times has this area been secured? how many times has he flown to and from PBIA since?

i looked at the map, i find it hard to believe there is a clear line of sight anywhere a hunting stand could be put up to the unloading area.

It’s probably something they use to keep the runway clear of wildlife……let’s get a close look at the construction and guess how long it’s been up! Just noticed….hmmm.
