I don't think so either. This was a political program set up by Congress with the intent to generate jobs across the entire US with little attention paid to logistics of such a complicated product. So now, you have in place a Party (Republican) and a elected President (Trump) who ran heavily on jobs, job creation, not job elimination. Unless the program turns into an unmitigated disaster (it isn't), nothing is going to knock the F-35 program off the tracks as there are no programs generating jobs to compare to the F-35 program on the horizon. Regardless of what Trump blusters about, a reminder of his job creation mantra by Congressional folks will overcome his negative F-35 program Tweets and he will move onto something else...
