This in't just throwing together parts in the warehouse.

To quadruple that production would require a commitment of 393.6 billion.

This isn’t something that scales to this level overnight; or even years…this requires a Herculean effort of manufacturing infrastructure, skilled labor and increasingly difficult to source critical components.

They can agree to his crackpot demands; it doesn’t mean that they can easily meet those demands…

“Trump says” starts the beginning of Trump words and ideas. That statement should carry the historical weight and branding of his president efforts—the same way “Hitler said” or “Jim Jones said”.

His words, ideas, and even his name are bottom feeders in the ocean of existence. Someone dragged his rotting carcass from the depths, and it’s the oligarchs who profit from the destruction of the United States as a business goal. They’re all immoral and untrustworthy, but he’s established his brand—Shit is his product.

It’s just business.

Is currently in the range of 100 per year. So now we’re aiming for 400 per year. That means we can only fire about 1 per day under Trump’s plan.

I didn’t read the entire article. Someone who isn’t as lazy as me please tell me if the reporter included what I deduced in the previous paragraph. How do I know I’m going to be disappointed with this journalist’s deductive reasoning skills.

to a report in another thread. They blew through 400 in 3 days. Current Tomahawk production I estimated to be about 7 a month. Even quadrupling that is only about 28 a month or 1 per day.

If all these contractors are going to increase production, then they'll be competing for each other similar components. The component manufacturers will also be competing with each other for raw materials.

Defense contractors have been shrinking their military manufacturing for decades. They haven't wanted to hold inventory or tooling since before my retirement and were becoming increasing reliant on just-in-time manufacturing.

It doesn't surprise me at all now that push has come to shove, the capacity to increase production significantly isn't there.

With consumer products? If there’s a large crossover and this administration diverts resources to military then what does that do to the consumer market?

I already know the answer but you appear to have some more insight on this front than I do.

They agreed to add a forth 8 hour shift a day to satisfy KING Pervert ,whatever it takes...

The applause sign is lit.

They just gave away that the timeline is far more than “two weeks”. I am very sure that the claim that the expansion started three months ago is a lie.

They could melt down the Arch du Trumpinphant.

No, wait! That’s needed for the 100k seating arena to be built for Herr Gropenfuhrer’s bigly birthday bash.
