Trump "got the price of the F-35 down by hundreds of billions dollars" (actually, "millions")
Premiere Episode of Trump Show Disappoints With Sluggish Pacing and Dated Material
http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2017/02/premiere-episode-trump-show-disappoints-sluggish-pacing-and-dated-material#lol
Today's episode of the Trump Show was disappointing. It started late, it was only 30 minutes long, and much of it was read off a teleprompter. A few miscellaneous comments:
"Not one network will show the crowd," he says at the exact moment the pool camera pulls back to show the crowd.
He says he got the price of Air Force One down by a billion dollars. When did that happen? Let's google a bit...ah. It's just your basic Trump bullshit. The CEO of Boeing has agreed to keep the price tag below $4 billion for a project that's currently estimated to cost between $3.2 billion and $3.7 billion. Nice work, Donald.
He also got the price of the F-35 down by "hundreds of billions" dollars. It's actually hundreds of millions, but who's counting? And it was a price reduction that was already in the works before Trump ever got involved.
