President-elect Trump has told Lockheed CEO Jim Taiclet he plans to cancel the $1 trillion F-35 contract because "China is winning the fighter race while Lockheed sends executives to DEI camps," according to NY Post financial correspondent Lydia Moynihan.

Lockheed will prob have to do something for the convicted felon in order to save the contract. He only likes deals that favor him so, they prob have to hand over cash to the felon’s personal bank account.

This is a fascist banana republic now folks. This is what the American people voted for.
You are 100% correct here. This is exactly how Trump becomes super wealthy and no one is left to stop it.
If your boss did that, the co. might die
Terrible incentives when everyone surrenders.
Like the F-35 has been one of the most notorious wastes of money in the history of the country, just a giant black hole of defense money.
Quick, someone trick him into thinking United Health is a DEI front, maybe that’ll get us universal healthcare.
Those giant trillion dollar contacts are for the LIFETIME of the program over 50 years, a fact that is overlooked again and again.
The F-35 program is more than justified by its current success as a fighter, which is shown by the fact that every country is lining up to buy them.
The F-35 has had its problems, but it has successfully demonstrated the ability to deliver bombs and missiles to ground targets protected by S-300 and S-400.
One must wonder what would replace that capability if we lost the F-35.
I know, he’ll just hand it to one of his dumb idiot friends, but at least someone who deserves it is suffering a little today.
Happy holidays, everyone.
Trump knows best, right?🤣🤣🤣
Arthur Clarke's story "Superiority" comes to mind.🙂
Or behaved worthy of leadership?
American last
All these Lockheed shareholders who vote for Trump because he promised less taxes for them will have a huge drop in their holdings when the Lockheed stock will fall because of this story.
What a guy . . .
Guaranteed, Peter Thiel is going to make a killing from this someway, somehow.
We'll probably hear about a Space X/Thiel Jet Fighter venture in warly February.
"Anduril , a US defense startup backed by Peter Thiel , has secured $1.5 billion of new capital at a post-investment valuation of about $14 billion"
"The next generation of military technology will depend less on advances in shipbuilding and aircraft design than on advances in software"

I hope you're wrong, but I doubt that you are.
Their stock action will tell the tale.
