President Trump just sent this tweet: Based on the tremendous cost and cost overruns of the Lockheed Martin F-35, I have asked Boeing to price-out a comparable F-18 Super Hornet! Now as a veteran of the NAVY myself, I'm now curious what an updated version of the F/18 Super Hornet will become...Since I worked on them when I was in the NAVY. Now I'm curious will Trump make the F/18 program stealth, or will President Trump simply look for typical upgrades. Whatever President Trump's plan with the F/18 Super Hornet is, well atleast it won't be the trillion dollar taxpayer trashcan known as the garbage F-35 program. When I was in the NAVY well when I started, the F-35 was put into play and that was back in 2009...And since then Lockheed Martin has never been able to figure out how to keep the F-35 in the air. As of now the garbage F-35 program has cost the American taxpayer over $1.5 trillion, and the program has struggled since it's first flight in 2011. Funny thing is the F-35 is dubbed the Lighting, and trust me America there is nothing Lighting about trillions of dollars wasted on a military program that doesn't work. Now that President Trump looks to can the F-35 program, Trump probably has a plan to put this money towards something that works...Or even use this money being saved to rebuild Americas infrastucture, because suiting up the F-18 will be so much cheaper than the flightless program of the F-35 Turdblaster.
