And how many F-35’s USS Gerald R. Ford CVN-78 can carry? How many simultaneous take off and landing (recover) USS Gerald R. Ford CVN-78 can handle at normal (not tilting in heavy seas)?

A quick google says 75+ airplanes.

F-35's? Zilch, ain't none deployed yet, and the Chinese J-15 would eat it for lunch.

Of course, if the navy ever came up with a true air superiority fighter like the F-22, maybe things would be different. F-35 was never intended to go against the likes of the J-15.

How many simultaneous take off and landing (recover) USS Gerald R. Ford CVN-78 can handle at normal (not tilting in heavy seas)?

One. The Bush has four catapults but they only launch one plane at a time. One launch every few seconds. Likewise they land only one plane at a time. They don't conduct landings while they are launching and vice-versa.
