Maybe, if a guy as politically tone deaf as Pat Buchanan gets elected.
During his campaign for president he told a group of autoworkers that he used to drive a Cadillac, but now he drives a Mercedes, because American cars were "junk".
And to think he was just 48% of the vote away from the White House.

Apparently, the Air Force had their interest piqued by maintenance costs and fuel efficiency.
The A380 has only recently started flying, though, so I think it's a little premature to be talking about it replacing the current choice of the 747...
