"The F-35, we're doing an upgrade, a simple upgrade," Trump said. "But we're also doing an F-55, I'm going to call it an F-55. And that's going to be a substantial upgrade. But it's going to be also with two engines." Trump added that a modernized version of the F-22, which he referred to as "F-22 Super," was in the works.

Yet, Pres Trump is on the media day-in and day-out saying stupid stuff (e.g., stealth jets are ugly?)
For me, there seems to be a similarity here.

I was walkin' down the street on a sunny day
Hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba
