3. The strangest thing about Trump is he can't read his own hand

Trump has no leverage here. These are the people he just spent a year insulting. And these people all understand the very nature of 21st century warfare is changing rapidly. Why would ANYBODY buy the US products? Why pay $2M for a cruise missile when you can get more kill shots from a dozen drones costing $10,000 each?

Trump doesn't know shit about anything. He is whining for one and only one reason: Defense industry CEOs are ringing Trump's phone off the hook because nobody is buying their billion-dollar systems.
