Get them to compete. It’s what a builder does.

1/10th the cost, minus some stealth, but any nation that we need stealth against is already capable of radar that sees stealth.

So he intends to Sole Source to Boeing, vs an open contract competition?

I completely back this move.
I recall plans had already been drawn and it would have saved a ton per plane.

Translation, excuse me Boeing we have work to do no time for layoffs next year. By the way I would like to save some money on this plane.

Defense contractors are quickly beginning to realize that, unlike his predecessors, Donald Trump is not someone willing to accept their outrageous charges at face value. This is a man who knows all about submitting bids, competing for contracts, negotiating prices, controlling costs, dealing with vendors, and meeting schedules. They can’t BS him the way they could with previous administrations.

Brains in D.C? Who woulda thunk it?
Haven’t seen brains in D.C. since Reagan in the 80’s.
Been awhile. Feels good.

So he intends to Sole Source to Boeing, vs an open contract competition?Why not? The Super Hornet is a proven aircraft that does what we need it to do minus some stealth capability--and it's a hell of a lot cheaper.
To: Parmy
YES! With Trump applying his notable business acumen the USA is well on the way to #1 again!

Trump is being presidential while Obama is figuring out ways to get more Muslim terrorists into the country.

He’s asking for a cost...it’s market research. Completely legal.
