Trump Instantly Roasted After Announcing Awkward Name Of New Military Fighter Jet

Republican President Donald Trump proudly announced the new name honoring him for the military's new fighter jet, and the set-up for a joke couldn't have been more perfect.

“The generals picked the title," claimed the 47th President, adding, "and it’s a beautiful number, F-47.”

Trump spouted a familiar catchphrase when boasting that the fighter jet honoring him possessed attributes that were "something the likes of which nobody has seen before."

You can almost hear social media users giggling with glee.

Why? Well, the fighter jet's F-47 moniker spoke for itself.

The jokes kept writing themselves.

People were still skeptical of the full story.

Trump announced he awarded Boeing a $20 billion military contract to build the next generation of fighter jets for the U.S. Air Force despite the company having been plagued with myriad quality control and safety issues, including crashes, cracks in tankers, and a mid-air door plug blowout incident on January 5, 2024.

The President even criticized Boeing as recently as last month for its delayed delivery of new Air Force One jets.

The announcement also came after the current Lockheed Martin F-35 jets faced scrutiny as the program is projected to cost taxpayers over $2 trillion over its lifetime, according to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), making it one of the most expensive weapons programs in U.S. history.
