Donald Trump has taken to Twitter to criticize Lockheed Martin (LMT) - Get Report  for cost overruns for its delayed F-35 fighter program.  This comes days after Trump also tweeted about Boeing  (BA) - Get Report . According to The Deal's Lou Whiteman, the F-35 has been both praised as a marvel of technology and cited as an example of cost overruns. The program has been plagued by delays and technical issues but is at long-last nearing delivery, with Lockheed hoping that one day the F-35 could account for as much as 50% of its revenue.
