Donald Trump is trying to replace a stealth plane with not a stealth plane and doesn’t see the problem

Another day, another leak from Donald Trump’s vapid consciousness to his Twitter feed via his tiny, orange hands.

In the latest leak from his mystery of a brain, the President-elect tweeted:

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!

The F-35, a fleet of which was being developed for $379 billion, is a stealth fighter jet with the crucial ability to see, but not be seen. It’s the product of a complex combination of materials and shape, and only a handful of countries have ever developed them.

Here's a video of the jet's development:

Trump has met with Lockheed Martin to discuss bringing down the cost of the F-35’s fifth-generation stealth F-35 Lightening II jet. Its CEO Marillyn Hewson said in a statement that the F-35 programme is “critical” to the US’s national security.

Trump wants to replace the F-35 with a “comparable” F-18 Super Hornet, however this jet is not a stealth jet.

And people are a little concerned, to say the least:
