The US military budget, including spending for rotorcraft procurement, is mostly controlled by Congress. Trump has stated as President he would push for increased US military spending. Clinton, on the other hand, would likely continue the recent trend of cutting US military budgets and using the money for increasing social programs.

As for the US private sector, Trump's proposed economic policies will greatly expand domestic oil/gas production, which in turn should benefit rotorcraft manufacturers and operators.
