Remember when Trump... took credit for $700 million in cuts to the F-35 program’s price that was agreed upon before he was President?

Trump had previously tweeted about the F-35 program and its exorbitant costs.

The F-35 program and cost is out of control. Billions of dollars can and will be saved on military (and other) purchases after January 20th.

Based on the tremendous cost and cost overruns of the Lockheed Martin F-35, I have asked Boeing to price-out a comparable F-18 Super Hornet!

During a visit to MacDill AFB in 2017, Trump made a variety of claims. Among them, like how “our Navy is at a point almost as low as World War One – that’s a long time ago, that’s a long time ago,” Trump also claimed “I saved over $700 million when I got involved in the negotiation on the F-35.”
