As Trump vows to stop flow of jobs overseas, U.S. plans to make fighter jets in India

As a new American president bent on retaining American jobs prepares to take office, the Obama administration and the U.S. defense industry are working on a deal with the Indian government to build iconic U.S. combat aircraft in India.

In recent months, Lockheed Martin and Boeing have made proposals to the Indian government to manufacture fighter jets — the F-16 Fighting Falcon and the F/A-18 Super Hornet — in India as the country seeks to modernize its rapidly aging fleet of largely Russian-built airplanes.

In both cases, the aviation companies would be building production facilities in India; Lockheed Martin proposes to move its entire F-16 assembly line from Texas to India, making India the sole producer of the single-engine combat aircraft.

The U.S. military is phasing out the F-16 for its own use, but other countries remain as likely customers.

The proposals have the strong backing of the Obama administration, which has sought a closer connection with the Indian military in recent years. Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James said she was “optimistic” about the prospect of a deal after a visit to New Delhi in August, and Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter is set to return to India next week, with procurement high atop the list of discussion topics.

But the election of a billionaire businessman focused on keeping jobs at home, rather than creating them overseas, has brought a measure of uncertainty to the talks.

The Jets will not be coming into this country so I don't think this applies to the 35% tariff. president Trump is not forcing industry to manufacture here.

How Trump has changed the Oval Office so far

Anyone who’s ever caught a glimpse of Donald Trump’s three-story penthouse in New York’s Trump Tower knows that the United States’ 45th president likes the look of royalty. His Versailles in the Sky, as it has come to be known, is accented with marble, the Trump family “coat of arms,” and paintings of Greek gods. There is also, of course, loads and loads of gold.

So, it’s not particularly shocking that President Trump has taken those decor tastes to the White House. What may surprise people, however, is just how fast the redecorating has occurred. Just one week into his presidency, here are three notable choices Donald Trump has made with regard to the look of the Oval Office.

In accordance with his love of gilded decor, President Trump did away with the red curtains used in the Oval Office during President Obama’s second term and replaced them with a set of gold curtains. While used briefly by President George W. Bush, these curtains ironically first hung in the Oval Office during Bill Clinton’s presidency. President Bush ultimately swapped them out for a slightly different set of golden drapes.

TRUMP SENDS A MESSAGE TO CHINA THROUGH SYRIA
A 1,000 pound explosive warhead isn’t subtle.
April 10, 2017

Daniel Greenfield

On Thursday evening, President Trump met with China’s President Xi and bombed Syria. The decision came as Trump traveled on Air Force One to meet with Xi at Mar-a-Lago. An hour into their dinner, 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles launched and pounded an airbase in Syria. The message wasn’t just for Assad and Putin. It was for Xi and his North Korean client state. The era of a weak America was over.

Xi had come to America expecting an easy photo op visit. President Trump would urge action on North Korea and Xi would smile coldly and shoot him down. Talk of fairer trade would be similarly dismissed.

And then Xi would go home and laugh that the bold new American leader was another paper tiger.

Except that President Trump had a different plan. Instead of Xi showing how tough he could be, Trump gave him a front row seat to a display of American power. The message was both obvious and subtle.

And President Xi, along with Russia’s Vladimir Putin, North Korea’s Kim Jong-un and Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei, aren’t laughing.

TRUMP FLATTENS ISIS TERROR COMPLEX
The Mother of All Bombs takes out a terrorist stronghold.
April 14, 2017

Matthew Vadum

The United States dropped the largest non-nuclear bomb in its arsenal yesterday on an Islamic State complex in the mountains of Afghanistan, a powerful indication that the Trump administration takes its responsibilities in the war against Muslim terrorism seriously.

This successful mission is part of President Trump making good on a campaign promise made in late 2015 to “bomb the shit out of” Islamic State (also known as ISIS, ISIL, or Daesh). Yesterday the president referred to the military operation as “another successful job,” after acknowledging he trusted his generals in the field enough to delegate strike authority to them.

It is a welcome change after the Obama administration did little for years to combat Muslim terrorism and engaged in many activities that strengthened and emboldened terrorist groups. It also puts hostile regimes, like those in North Korea, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Russia, and Syria on notice that America’s new president is dramatically different from his predecessor.

I'm not sure the waste in the Pentagon can even be quantified. They can't even perform an audit on itself.

You mean just like the obongo administration, rolmao...

No, I mean the waste that permeates our unaccountable spending...regardless of whom occupies the White House.

HOW TRUMP CAN HELP THE COPS
The administration must change the Obama narrative that policing is the problem.
April 26, 2017

Heather Mac Donald

Donald Trump vigorously defended law enforcement during his presidential campaign. He pledged to restore order to the nation’s cities—where violent crime is surging—and to reinvigorate the rule of law. His appointment of conservative Republican senator Jeff Sessions as attorney general was a strong signal that Trump’s words were more than campaign rhetoric. Now that the Trump administration and the Sessions-led Justice Department are up and running, where should they focus their efforts?

The most immediate goal of the Trump administration should be to change the elite-driven narrative about the criminal-justice system. That narrative, which holds that policing is lethally racist, has dominated public discourse since the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in August 2014. In response, officers are backing off of proactive policing, and violent crime is rising fast: 2015 saw the largest one-year spike in homicides nationwide in nearly 50 years. That violent-crime increase has continued unabated through 2016 and into the early months of 2017. A Trump administration official—perhaps Attorney General Sessions, or the president himself—should publicly address the question of what we expect from police officers: Do we want them to be proactive and to try to stop crime before it happens? Or do we want them to be purely reactive, responding to crime only after someone has been victimized? The administration should explain that data-driven, proactive policing made possible the country’s 20-year, 50 percent violent-crime decline that began in the mid-1990s.

TRUMP JOBS GROWTH HIGH ABOVE ECONOMIST EXPECTATIONS
July 7, 2017

Daniel Greenfield

It used to be par for the course.

The media would declare that there was a recovery. Their experts would dramatically overstate the results. And then there would be a retraction when performance didn't meet expectations. The failure was blamed on some sort of problem, the environment, consumer stupidity, space aliens, outside Obama's control.

Now we're seeing the reverse. The economy is doing well under Trump while the media tries to undersell it. New York Magazine has a headline that reads, "The Economy Doesn't Care Who's President."

Sure. That would have been the headline under Obama. Meanwhile the Trump economy is beating expectations.

...

That's how you know there's a recovery... and a Republican in the White House. The estimates are being revised up, instead of down.

AMERICA'S RETURN TO SPACE IS LONG OVERDUE
July 7, 2017

Daniel Greenfield

...

But some of the early steps are promising. And Pence is signaling that it will be a personal priority.

"From this bridge to space, our nation will return to the moon, and we will put American boots on the face of Mars,” Pence said at the Kennedy Space Center.

It's the kind of stirring specificity so absent from Obama's speeches. And it speaks directly to the larger theme of American greatness.

Beyond words, Pence will chair the National Space Council. And that indicates the framework for a larger plan underway.

We know libtarts don't give a fuck. Make the planes here and will sell them the fuel to fly home, now that's a better deal for AMERICA, we come first now..

It goes beyond that. We could not have won WWIII if we did not build our planes at Williow Run in Michigan. Imagine fighting a WORLD WAR depending on those countries to supply our equipment and even steel and precious metals.

8 years of that game with Obama. We all knew the growth wasnt what they claimed. We knew to wait for the downward revision.

PRESIDENT TRUMP ENDS OBAMA’S DACA DIKTAT
Obama lashes out as the new administration cleans up the constitutional mess he created.
September 6, 2017

Joseph Klein

President Donald Trump decided to gradually phase out the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, known as DACA, which former President Barack Obama enacted through an amnesty executive order. President Trump acted in order to remedy Obama’s trampling of the Constitution’s separation of powers, while at the same time not suddenly upending the lives of those who would be affected. The president explained his rationale in a statement issued by the White House. Attorney General Jeff Sessions delivered his own statement expanding on the Trump administration’s decision to rescind DACA.

Obama’s intention was to shield nearly 800,000 young people brought to the United States illegally as children, known as “Dreamers,” from deportation. These individuals were the intended beneficiaries of the failed DREAM Act, which was never passed by Congress, even when Democrats held legislative majorities in both houses. In issuing the DACA executive order, Obama acted without any legislative authority -- he bypassed Congress altogether to give work permits, social security numbers, and federal benefits to these Dreamers, who are currently between the ages of 15 and 36. In so doing, Obama acted through executive fiat to create a new immigration law all by himself.

Now, following the announcement of President Trump’s decision to phase out Obama’s executive DACA order, while providing Congress with the opportunity to address the Dreamers' situation the right way under the Constitution, Obama has come out swinging against President Trump's action. He complained that President Trump’s decision is “contrary to our spirit, and to common sense.” Obama added that President Trump was being “cruel” by targeting “these young people.” He asked rhetorically “whether we are a people who kick hopeful young strivers out of America, or whether we treat them the way we’d want our own kids to be treated.”

As usual, Obama tries to justify his own grievous mistakes by demonizing those who disagree with him and spinning out a straw man argument. Obama has only himself to blame for putting the Dreamers he sought to protect in legal limbo, knowing that his executive order would be challenged in court as a breach of the fundamental constitutional principle of separation of powers. Indeed, officials from ten states were prepared to sue the Trump administration over the program if President Trump had decided to keep it intact. Obama’s Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) executive order has already been struck down on constitutional grounds.
