AI Overview
On September 30, 2025, Donald Trump was seen wearing a golden fighter jet pin next to his flag pin while giving an address at Marine Corps Base Quantico. The miniature jet was identified as an F-22 Raptor.
This is not the first time Trump has worn the F-22 pin, having also worn it a few days earlier during meetings with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Pakistani leaders. This diplomatic context, particularly regarding Turkey's interest in the F-35 and F-16 fighter jets, sparked speculation about the pin's symbolic meaning.

(NPR) "President Trump has announced that Boeing will build the U.S. Air Force's next generation of fighter jets."

" 'They will have unprecedented power,' Trump said on Friday, adding that 'America's enemies will never see [them] coming.' "

"Trump is the 47th U.S. president and the jet is being called the F-47."

" 'The generals picked a title, and it's a beautiful number,' Trump told reporters from the Oval Office. 'Nothing in the world comes even close to it.' "

Only two pins: our flag and a jet plane. I don’t know what it represents.
