President Trump will kill the F-35. Lockheed Martin will take it on the chin.

Nobody knows what the next president will do with the F-35 program. But if it gets canceled, Lockheed-Martin will just move on to the next aircraft design. They won’t really be mad. Why? Because aerospace companies are primarily geared for design & testing. That part is largely done and they’ve been paid (see “sunk costs”). The contract (IE “build price”) limits their prophits. They’d much rather get the next development deal. Why do you think they rolled over like a tame puppy when the F-22 was terminated at 187 airframes?
