President Donald Trump's Invisible Plane | All In | MSNBC In this intriguing video segment, President Donald Trump addresses the capabilities of the F-35 stealth fighter jet while detailing defense spending tied to a $1.3 trillion budget bill. His remarks describe the F-35 as "the most sophisticated aircraft in the world," emphasizing its stealth properties that render it nearly invisible to radar. The president jested about the aircraft's capabilities, stating, "It’s very tough to beat a plane when you can’t see it," which led to a humorous interpretation of his words. While commenting on the F-35, Trump mistakenly referred to Lockheed Martin's CEO as “Marilyn Lockheed,” illustrating a lighthearted slip given the context. His comments raise questions about literal versus figurative interpretations of the word "invisible." The F-35 is indeed designed for stealth, making it undetectable by radar, which Trump somewhat comically likened to science fiction elements like Star Trek’s cloaking devices and Wonder Woman’s invisible plane. Throughout the presentation, the narrative oscillates between factual information about the fighter jet's capabilities and light-hearted commentary that aligns with Trump's characteristic speaking style. The discussion highlights not only the aircraft's military utility but also its high cost and the complexities surrounding defense spending.
