President Trump just made a deal that has Washington elites scrambling. The federal government will take a 10 percent stake in Intel, the computer chip giant. This move puts America first in the global tech race.
Critics are crying about government overreach and constitutional concerns. But they miss the bigger picture completely. Trump is securing America’s technological future while other countries try to beat us.
Intel makes the chips that power our military and economy. China wants to control this market and crush American companies. Trump stepped in to stop that from happening.
The deal uses money already set aside for chip manufacturing. Trump said he paid zero new dollars for this billion-dollar stake. That sounds like the art of the deal working for taxpayers.
Some worry this opens Pandora’s box for government ownership of private companies. But desperate times call for bold action. America cannot let foreign enemies control our most important technologies.
The establishment hates when Trump thinks outside the box. They want America to play by old rules while China plays to win. Trump refuses to let that happen on his watch.
This Intel partnership could actually make money for the government. If Intel stock goes up, taxpayers benefit directly. That beats sending billions overseas with nothing to show for it.
Trump is fighting for American workers and American technology. While critics complain, he is making deals that put America first. That is exactly what we voted for.
