About those f-52s... Get ready for the crazy.

The F-52, also known as the F-52-B[1] is an advanced fighter aircraft in service of the United States of America and the Sentinel Task Force in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

The 'Orange Shitweasel' just said we sold jet fighters to another country, that only exist in a video game!!!

F-52s are very inexpensive to maintain, look real cool on a video display and the kids just love them.

Of course there is the matter of reality rearing its ugly head but... What the hell.... That's Trump!!!

The immortal F-52B:



Wrong clip. Apparently the one I want isn't available. But this one will do in a pinch.

Here's Major Kong's dialog in the scene I wanted:
Now, boys, we got three engines out; we got more holes in us than a horse trader's mule; the radio's gone and we're leakin' fuel, and if we's flying any lower, why, we'd need sleigh bells on this thing. But we got one little budge on them Rooskies, at this height, why, they might harpoon us but they dang sure ain't gonna spot us on no radar screen.

Trump lauded delivery of F-52s to Norway. The planes only exist in ‘Call of Duty.’

By Alex Horton January 11 at 12:05 PM

President Trump’s announcement of U.S-made F-52s fighter aircraft delivered to Norway may have rattled its neighbor Russia, the source of rising tension among NATO allies.

Was it a secret advanced jet capable of beating its Russian counterparts? A ruse to fool intelligence analysts?

Neither, it turns out. The “F-52” is a fictional jet only available to fly if you’re a gamer at the controls of “Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.”

Trump lauded the sale of the fictional planes alongside Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg at the White House on Wednesday, remarking on the very real and growing defense relationship with America’s Northern Europe ally.

Because he has elite score in video games, so he must be smarter than them.
