President Trump just made a bold move that has everyone talking. His administration announced it will buy a 10% stake in Intel for $8.9 billion. This makes the U.S. government Intel’s biggest investor.
This is not your typical government deal. Trump is using money from the CHIPS Act and defense programs to buy actual stock in the company. The government will own a real piece of one of America’s most important tech companies.
Why is Trump doing this? It’s all about beating China and protecting America. Intel makes the computer chips that power everything from phones to fighter jets. We can’t let China control this vital industry.
Some people are worried this crosses a line. They say the government shouldn’t own private companies. Others wonder if it’s even legal under our Constitution.
But Trump knows what he’s doing. This isn’t socialism – it’s smart business. The government could make money if Intel stock goes up. That money could help pay down our massive debt.
Intel promised to keep making chips right here in America. They’re building new factories and creating thousands of jobs. This deal makes sure those jobs stay in the U.S., not China.
The left hates this because Trump is thinking like a businessman, not a politician. He’s using government power to help American companies beat our enemies. That’s exactly what we elected him to do.
This could be the start of something big. If it works, maybe we’ll see similar deals with other key companies. America first means doing whatever it takes to win.
