The contract announcement follows months of uncertainty due to budget constraints and shifting priorities that led to a pause and a detailed review of the program.

During a major Oval Office address on Friday, President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth introduced a new sixth-generation fighter jet costing $20 billion. In an unbelievable move, Trump named the jet after himself — the F47 — emphasizing his place in history as President of the United States.

“The F47 will be the most advanced, capable, and lethal aircraft ever built. We’re confident that it overpowers the capabilities of any nation,” he said before adding: “47 is a lovely number, isn’t it.”

    This fucker is wildly attempting any/all paths to find a way to leave an indelible historical mark of himself…

    Guess “Lyingist Liar First Felon Mafia Level Attempt at a President and Killer of US Democracy” isn’t working for him…

    He’s already got an indelible place in history all right. And nothing he manages to accomplish from now till his death will be sufficient to erase that lasting legacy.
