  1. The Great Leap Forward will be Orange Turd tripping and falling over Sofa King who’s in mid-couch pleasantries. Maybe we can get them both on the room and have two Great Leap Forwards ending in Rose Garden face plants. 🤞🙄

  2. How do we know these shares don't (or won't) belong to Trump personally? There are some really blurred lines, at the moment. Why aren’t the details of his deals like this, or his trade deals, made public?

  3. I believe the Mafia called it "protection money."

    Intel gives Trump stock ... um, I mean, "the government" ... in exchange for not tariffing their imported parts.

  4. so next president can take control of spacex and starlink right?

    imagine if obama did this

    the way democracies work is corporations are suppose to pay TAXES not shares of ownership

    if only this was our worst problem and not one of a huge freaking list

    imagine another year from now, imagine 2028

  5. National security and semiconductor leadership are critical, but government ownership of private companies—even partially—requires transparency, oversight, and debate. Boasting about control without clear explanation is alarming for investors, employees, and the public.

  7. Wasting taxpayer dollars on a company that is long past its prime and can't compete with better chipmakers in the rest of the world.

  8. I’ve got questions:

    • Did Trump bail out Intel with taxpayers money without congressional approval?

    • How do I sell my share?

  9. So, expensive eggs and communism?

    Having worked at Intel by way of acquisition in fairly recent times, I am against nationalization and in this case, I am violently against. Basically, The Country Moron choosing to invest in a once proud—but slumping badly—brand. Bad!

  10. So wrong on so many levels.

    Already an enemy of competition, he sets the US up to interfere with Intel's market and positions.

    Foolish. As usual.

  12. Small gov't, Self accountability / boot strap, don't tread on me Republican is now the party of COMMAND ECONOMY and EXECUTIVE OVEREACH... yes, like Mao. Now your business success is determined if you pay your bribe to the CEO / DJT - Where is the Freedom Caucus now?

  13. So, that whole time Trump and MAGA have complained about, criticized, threatened, mocked, threw around silly little names about...in actuality, Trump wanted to be just like China? Interesting.

  14. Just don't tell him about the 13th and 14th generation debacle and how the new Ultras run shittier than them still, but yeah, why not prop up a dead horse. Good enough for missiles, I'll keep my AMD for the real stuff though...

  15. Once again, a total fucking lie. Under Biden's Chip Act, Intel was going to get a $10B grant as an inducement for whatever.

    Trump said, fuck that, I want $10B in equity. Ok, fair enough, but to say the equity was free is TOTAL FUCKING BULLSHIT.

    This fucking guy.

  16. Incredible coup by the Marxist Deep State, Manchurian Candidating a Democrat donor/child trafficking enthusiast into the White House in order to nationalize big tech.

  17. After a little searching, I found the government is paying $8.9 billion for the stock. Trump is acting like they’re donating it.

    The chairman title is very apt - the Great Leap Forward with simultaneous Cultural Revolution — we know how successful that was.

  19. The failure of right wing education to accurately explain what communism is has led to the GOP embracing communism. TBH, mixed emotions

  20. There's gonna be an amazing socio-political study done one day by entitled "What Did Americans Really Care About?" Because despite all the bullshit and bluster from everyone over the years, we don't seem to actually mind government intrusion into business, tyranny, or losing our "Freedoms"

  21. Didn’t the GOP lose its collective mind when Obama arranged to have the government buy shares in US auto makers to bail them out? Now it’s OK for the govt to buy shares of companies?

  22. Republicans hate on communism and socialism for 80+ years and then do arguably the most communist thing in the government’s history

  25. The federal government can't receive income from anything like this at all, even the revenues they receive are not saved or used to fund spending. This whole sovereign fund nonsense Trump is pushing is only a smoke screen to cover up that he is the one receiving these bribes for himself. #learnMMT

  26. I bet it isn't even true. No company"gave"the U.S. 10% of it's worth for free. He must be talking to those Myers in Florida and Texas. They will believe anything he says lol.

  27. The only attention that should be paid to “this matter” is where the ownership stake ends up. The cowardly republicans have already given the odorous orange turd a taxpayer financed jet. Guessing trump will try to keep the intel share for himself as well.

  28. Interested how “The US” holds these shares. Like who/what is named? Oh wait, it’s probably POTUS, huh?

  29. There’s got to be a catch! Trump only does things to benefit him no one else. He doesn’t give a damn about our country!

  30. Trump is lying again. The USA gave Intel a $11 billion grant & contracts under Biden:

    The CHIPS Act awarded Intel $11 billion - comprised of $7.9 billion for domestic manufacturing and $3 billion for national security projects.

    Trump extorted $11 Bil NON-VOTING equity paid for by the CHIPS awards.

  31. So dtrump now own an 8nterest in another business. We own NOTHING. We as taxpayers will NEVER SEE A PENNY of this money. Call it what it is, another bribe to dtrump .

  32. The U.S. didn’t pay cash upfront, but:

    • It spent $2.2B in grants.

    • It assumes market risk on the $11B equity.

    • The “free $11B” is just paper value, not guaranteed profit.

  33. Think Chairman Mao would be dumb enough to let Intel stay with 90% of the profit in his country? That's not communism so call it what it is bc it is wt Trump is:

    Mobster capitalism.

    That's extortion and a crime.

  34. Oh wow … a Socialist ,Marxist , Communist , pedo , liar and felon all wrapped in one . Congrats MAGA

  35. So basically the government withheld CHIPS grant money that Intel was entitled to until Intel gave them something in return for it? How is this legal?

  36. Will this be like when my ex took back every present he ever gave me when we broke up? Trump will take all his bribes and blackmail tithes and the 10% in Intel for himself, personally?

    Wait, I might let him do that, if it meant he'd leave. Same.

  37. So my fellow citizens and I own 10% of Intel?

    Who gets the dividend check? Would that be the orange grifter?

  38. TO ALL MILITARY PERSONEL ON HERE OUT THERE WHERE EVER YOU ARE LISTEN UP!

  39. And for this gift of private corporate ownership to our esteemed leader Intel will receive a pardon from ALL tariff expenses and Trump won’t target any of their brown employees with his ICE army of thugs! Notice no ICE vehicles in the employee parking structures of Intel!!

  46. There is a name for government ownership of the means of production….. trying to remember….. right on the tip of my tongue. I bet Bernie Sanders or Zohran Mamdani knows it.
