"Trump questions technology central to Pentagon’s plans for launching aircraft at sea"
By Missy Ryan November 23 at 5:08 PM
"President Trump this week renewed his questioning of the military’s new system for launching aircraft at sea, underscoring his skepticism about a technology the Navy has put at the center of its future aircraft carrier fleet."
Tweety doesn't understand what he is doing, he is not a technology guy. His "advice" to the Navy is the most obvious case I know of showing his total lack of insight and knowledge, BUT he is stumbling onto a good track!
You know the saying, "Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn!" . . . do not let the Military Industrial Complex have every "toy" they seek!
"Trump has also suggested he would ditch the military’s flagship fighter jet, the F-35, which has suffered from design flaws and come in over budget."
AWESOME!

"Military reformers in the nation’s capital may have found a soul mate in a billionaire real estate magnate who takes a keen interest in what things cost, including big weapons systems.
The reformers — an alliance of watchdog activists, technocrats and former government auditors — have long bemoaned the delays and cost overruns that plague the Pentagon’s procurement of ships, guns and planes.
Now, President-elect Donald Trump seems to have joined them. He has taken to Twitter to blast the titans of defense contracting for what he sees as overpriced weapons, suggesting a procurement overhaul may be a top priority to Defense Secretary-nominee James N. Mattis.
“To say the least, we are a bit stunned, albeit pleasantly so,” said Thomas P. Christie, the Pentagon’s former top weapons tester who has long advocated lower-cost alternatives."
