Trump called out after big Intel move: 'Literally communism'

PedoPresident Donald Trump has wielded his insult machine at
Democrats he claims are "socialists" and "communists, " but
the state purchase of Intel has many, including
conservatives, questioning whether he's the real "big
government" guy.

On Friday, computer chip manufacturer Intel agreed to allow
the government to purchase 10% of its company, making the U.
S. government the largest shareholder in the company, NPR
reported.

Libertarian Cato Institute vice president Scott Lincicome
took to X to list off some of the worst possible outcomes of
such a purchase, namely that it is "bad for Intel's long-
term viability, as politics, not commercial considerations,
increasingly drive its decisions. " He added that it's also
bad for Intel competitors, because the U. S. is being seen
as picking winners and losers. It can also be problematic
because Intel doesn't just manufacture computer chips, it
has its claws in a number of other businesses.

"Washington will be Intel's single largest shareholder, and
have a massive political/financial interest in the company's
operations here and abroad. If you think this share will
remain passive, I've got an unfinished chip factory in Ohio
to sell you, " he later added.

"Trump says Intel CEO agreed to give U. S. government $10
billion. Trump implies it's an equity stake. The irony of
his criticism of Democratic-Socialists as communists when,
if this is true, its actual government takeover of private
industry, " said former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-
Banks, a co-host of the "Sisters in Law" podcast.

Conservative former George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum
pointed out, "On the same day, Trump is promoting government
ownership of Intel and military patrols of Chicago, New York
City, following upon existing military control of Los
Angeles and District of Columbia. But apparently only RINOs
still care about free enterprise and civilian rule. The
conservatives these days get much more excited about the
marketing decisions of roadside restaurant chains. "

"Trump wants the U. S. government to take a 10% stake in
Intel. Make no mistake: Trump's "state capitalism" has
nothing to do with public ownership, socialism, helping the
working class, or improving national security. It's another
personal power grab, " said former Labor Secretary Robert
Reich.

Dan Shafer, political editor of Civic Media commented, "It's
so funny to me that there are all these 'free market' think
tanks in Wisconsin and none of them have said a single
godd--n thing about tariffs, or the federal government
buying a stake in Intel, or any of the very much not free
market things happening in the Trump admin. "

After Trump teased the idea on Wednesday, Sen. Rand Paul (R-
KY) lamented, "If socialism is government owning the means
of production, wouldn't the government owning part of Intel
be a step toward socialism? Terrible idea. "

"Small government conservative, " wrote Spencer Hakimian,
the founder of Tolou Capital Management, his written voice
dripping with sarcasm. He later agreed that Trump was a
"socialist. "

"Trump just announced that the CEO of Intel has agreed to
give the US government a 10% stake in the company. That is
literally communism! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! " Bernard Taylor, a
local firefighter and paramedic running for Congress in
Florida, exclaimed.
