Couldn't Make it up....

 

The USAF just admitted they* named their new fighter the F-47 to 'honor' Trump (the 47th President).

No matter what you think of Trump, it's a piece of marketing genius to call it the F-47. Not for marketing outside of America, it's just going to provoke derision, but for internal marketing of the project to Congress. After all, no congresscritter is going to want to be known as the one who cancelled -47.....

* "in consultation with the Secretary of Defense", which is wonderfully ambiguous and covers anything from "I told him I thought it was a good idea" to "he ordered me to over my strongest protests".
