Heavy lifting by Dan Froomkin makes for light reading here. Really good job of sorting out media coverage of Trump's $5,000 gimmick.
What they SHOULD have written:
TRUMP MAKES $5,000 DESPERATION PLAY

So what DID they write? I handed out grades.

So, per @Froomkin, what we're getting now in DC is sequence of
-F-35s
-F-18s
-More F-35s
-F-22s about to arrive.
Again, I love airplanes and airshows. But this is wasteful beyond belief. (Another F-35 pack zooms by just now.)
Someone can calculate millions-per-flight-hr of each craft
