Trump tweet:

It is my Great Honor to report that the United States of America now fully owns and controls 10% of INTEL, a Great American Company that has an even more incredible future. I negotiated this Deal with Lip-Bu Tan, the Highly Respected Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The United States paid nothing for these Shares, and the Shares are now valued at approximately $11 Billion Dollars. This is a great Deal for America and, also, a great Deal for INTEL. Building leading edge Semiconductors and Chips, which is what INTEL does, is fundamental to the future of our Nation. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

    Fucking hilarious that this is party that starts seizing the means of production.

    It was never, ever even once about states rights. It was never about fighting communism. It’s all racism, always has been.

      Us Treasury is providing capital… Hardly seizing anything.

      Maybe if intel was ran into the ground by idiots. They wouldn’t need to be bailed out by feds.
