"President Donald Trump has again made confusing remarks about the stealth nature of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, lending credence to the idea he believes the radar-evading fighter is actually invisible to the human eye. Trump made the comments during an August 19 press conference at the White House, where he discussed a possible sale of the F-35 to the United Arab Emirates:"
"(The F-35 is) the greatest fighter jet in the world, as you know, by far. Stealth. Totally stealth. You can’t see it. Makes it very difficult. I was asking a pilot, 'What do you think is better: This one? This one? That one?' Talking about Russian planes, Chinese planes. He said, 'Well, the advantage we have is you can’t see it.' So when we’re fighting, they can’t see us. I say, 'That sounds like a really big advantage to me.'"
