    The WH is now on the verge of taking equity stake in numerous defense firms after taking equity in Intel/MP and it wont stop there. Who would've known Trump was a communist all along and he was projecting about Dems.

    No President has done more to restore democracy and promote capitalism than President Trump.


    GOOD DAY

    If a Democrat was doing what Trump is doing right now you would be losing your mind. The government has no business in taking equity stakes in public corporations. The government has no business distorting the free market.

    Take off your MAGA hat and think for once in your life and you'll realize that Trump is indeed wrong. This is literally communism

    right..... taking equity stakes in defense firms nd semiconductor companies is totally promoting capitalism. Ill ignore you in this thread cuz im not in the mood for your trolling

    In matters of national security, an investment in a company by the government is very common. Globally it's even more common. Intel = semiconductors = a matter of national security with the AI revolution. Lockheed Martin = planes and weapons = a matter of national security. Trump is not seeking to nationalize companies that do not fit this description... and a 10% minority ownership stake in Intel is hardly nationalization...

    The same liberals that wanted our entire economy shut down for the COVID virus are now trying to lecture us on what is capitalism? Nah, that doesn't work.

    • Non-secure mail-in ballots
    • No Voter ID
    • Putting Kamala on the ticket without a primary
    • Attempting to remove Trump from the ballot (!)
    • Attempting to bankrupt and imprison Trump so he can't run for President
    • Attempting to put Trump in a courtroom for all of 2024 so he couldn't run for President
    • Looking to cede government power to unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats in DC (who skew 95% liberal)
    • Looking to let illegals vote
    All attempts to subvert democracy by the Democrats. All facts.

    Trump has done more to restore democracy... and give power to the PEOPLE... than any President in the last 100 years.


    GOOD DAY

    There were no national security implications with INTEL because the pentagon doesnt even source their chips. They get them from TSMC. The 10% stake in intel makes the US government the largest shareholder of the company. Quit spamming my thread with your low iq garbage that you copy from a foxnews message board.

    MAGATS will blindly follow their cult leader to the edge of hell

    always so funny when the MAGA cultists forget that it was their orange messiah that shut the country down during covid and not biden.

    Sincerely some of the lowest iq people in the world

    Personally, I'd say this has very little to do with communism.
    I doubt these moves are meant to benefit the people or redistribute the profits from the industries in any meaningful way.

    It does have a whiff of authoritarianism because it seems that much of the decision-making is being made on the whim of one person. And there also seems to be some coercion involved to get the companies to do what this one person wants.

    I don’t think there is an ideological system here with any consistency other than a constant blatant effort to consolidate as much power as possible to one man. One blowhard corrupt convicted criminal and a rapist.

    But yes you make a great point that MAGA supporters are full of sh$t. If Obama or Biden admins took a 10% share of intel they would be losing their minds, and they would 100% all be calling it communism.

    Trump and MAGA’s ideology is pursuant to a Trump dictatorship. That’s the only thing consistent about their ideology. No I didn’t say that Trump is currently a dictator… but he clearly is trying to become one and basically all Trump supporters have shown their cards that they want that as well at nearly any cost. Even putting that pursuit well above Christian principles and the values of Jesus.

    Sad state of affairs here in the union.

    There is no secret that these guys want the same control as countries like China.

    unfortunately it only works in China because of thousands of years of culture.

    Trump literally encouraged his idiot followers to forcefully stop the peaceful transfer of power. They wanted to hang Mike Pence. Trump is the greatest threat to democracy in our nations history.

    I did, before the election, point out that the attacks on Harris as a communist or socialist are not just deliberate lies, but that Trump, who isn’t for either of those ideologies either, is actually much closer to the claim than Harris ever was.

    I doubt you’d get any honest debate on this from anyone on the right here. Most are either too ignorant, dumb, trolling, or outright lying. Too bad, because what’s going on is actually very important.
