Government will take stakes in more companies, top Trump adviser says
It's a new paradigm for the U.S. government's relationship with the private sector.

And this isn’t a concern, small govt Republicans?

Hitler nationalized the economy too.
-
I think we need to understand that the government is NOT taking stakes in companies and coporations; it is the other way around. Quite difficult to undo.

It was always projections when they accused Dems of being socialists.

Kevin Hassett is such a sad little toady.

* Trump built a staff of incompetent sycophants
so he could dictate through them,
speak through them.
All of the Trump Fox News appointees administration
is the voice of Donald Trump.
This is a fascist dictatorship administration.
It was seen from the beginning.
This an’t rocket science
-
MAGA should be screaming! Imagine if Biden or Obama had started extorting companies and buying government stakes in them? Extortion.
-
Proving that the trump regime is a crime syndicate.
-
I thought these guys were against public ownership of the means of production?
-
Trump is a communist. More "radical left" than AOC or Bernie
-
The “keep the government out of everything” party
-
US government propping up failing American companies?
-
It's only socialism when the other guys do it.
-
We are the United States of Russia. The GOP is all good with that. The Supreme Court is all good with that. The Pentagon is all good with that. Americans voted for it.
-
Aah, nice bit of communism. Thought these arseholes hated that sort of thing?
-
Americans are so illiterate
-
Good luck calling the blue team the communists from here on out
-
-
Sounds like communism
-
Fascist socialism a thing now?

Repeat after me, where are the Epstein files, where are the client lists, where are the billion dollar money transfer files, where are the pedo arrests?

Giving the track record of Donalds investments through the years it is a good avice to sell whatever stock yoou hold in companies he is participating in...
-
The privatization of everything. Dangerous. But, isnt this what Project 2025 told us would happen?! Why would people be happy about this? Doesn’t this concentrate more money at the top, give the public less control and take tax funded money to give to those loyal to the depot?
-
For a party that does a lot to criticize communism, the republicans sure are acting like a bunch of communists. And also fascists. Basically, the worst parts of both.
-
How’s Tim Apple feeling about that?
-
Socialism- actual socialism.
-
You won’t have to worry about authoritarianism for too long, I’m sure the government will bankrupt them quickly.
-
Donald Trump, the activist shareholder. What could go wrong?
-
Ugh Kevin Hassett, the "economist". Has he ever said anything remotely useful? Ever?
-
Donny gets a kickback to increase his coffers. That’s how Vlad got his billions.

THIS IS A USSR-STYLE GOVERNMENT
-
THIS.is.oligarchy.
-
THIS.is.Communism.

In a sane market, stocks would tank on this news. The government took more than $10B of equity value from shareholders. Having already gone after the law firms, it will be interesting to see whether there are any shareholder class actions suits due to that theft.

Communism with a MAGA flair!

Welcome to the #GoldenAge of #USA!

This is just communism
-
Corporate welfare has just a whole new level of no money for school lunches but billions to prop up croneycapitalism.
-
Maybe yall @axios.com should point out the extortion aspect
-
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the government controlling business a BAD thing as far as capitalism goes?
-
Why is that really old song 'I sold My Soul To The Company Store' jumping into my head? Oh, but the government won't have the stakes in the companies. We all know 47 will try take them when he leaves office.
-
So, communism?
-
Huh. That's a unique approach to conservatism.
-
For everyone who doesn’t know the definition of Socialism, one of the defining features is when the government controls means of production …
-
A free market they say
-
State owned businesses, very Russian. Who is the f'ing commie bastard?
-
Wtf
-
Many companies will be closing their doors or moving to another country
-
...and where are the "don't tread on me" people now?
-
That is Actual, Real, Socialism. Gov. run industry.
-
It's what the Soviet Union and the Nazis did.
-
I mean, its not even close to legal, never mind the right wing hypocrisy. But you guys are too in the bag for Trump to do real journalism. You just do PR.
-
JUST IN: THIS IS THE VERY DEFINITION OF COMMUNISM!
-
TAKE being the operative word.
If it was about insisting the corporations share their wealth by contributing to the public coffers, they would simply raise corporate taxes, as they should anyway.
Nope - this is Marxism.

Capitalism with American Characteristics.

The Trump Administration abandons all pretense of conservatism and goes straight for Central State Communism. His followers, who have used the C word as an epithet for years, prove they never knew what the word means.
-
trump’s a communist!

Nationalsozialisten

Oh look, more fascism.

MAGAs: Socialism BAD communism EXCELLENT

Nationalization is the first step towards communism…

Haven’t we learned anything from this bankruptcy prone businessman who runs business into the ground? His track record sucks baby ducks

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: THE MOBSTER PRESIDENCY COURTESY OF DONALD TRUMP. EVERYONE IS EXPECTED TO KICK A PERCENTAGE UP TO THE BOSS. DEPLORABLE, DISGUSTING, IMMORAL, ILLEGAL. ONE THING TRUMP DIDN'T LEARN WHILE EMULATING THE MOB BOSSES IN NEW YORK. SOONER OR LATER THEY GET TAKEN OUT. USUALLY BY THEIR OWN
