Ed is a dumbass
The meeting with Lockheed Martin was attended by my count 5 three and four star generals that exited the building while Trump was standing by the door talking to a Fox reporter. They were not smiling, not one of them
I think that in the presence of the Lockheed Martin CEO, Trump made it clear to the generals and colonels (I counted 15 people in the air force exit stream) that they need to get their act together and get purchasing people that know what the hell they are doing.
The same for the 747. Bells and whistles that have bells and whistles need to be culled.
I think the meeting was not to chastise the CEO’s but rather the Air Force leadership that has programs totally out of control. While not a full blown riot act, Trump conveyed the message that the Air Force was not only complicit but the primary cause for excess costs
it takes real skill and talent like this to rip off the taxpayer that badly.
