President Trump's Corporate State: (Intel Edition)

[PAF]

September 19, 2025

While America is known as a "capitalistic' society with "free markets," the reality is far different. A nation that once had a very limited government now has the biggest government in the history of mankind. Money is counterfeited by the trillions and the price-fixing of interest rates is policy. Government "regulators" are staffed by people who go through a "revolving door" from the "regulated" corporation to the government. In fact, that is the greatest danger that America -- and the rest of the world faces -- the merger of corporation and state; the fusion of power and money. That's a far better description of modern America; not "capitalism" or "free markets."​

Last month, US President Donald Trump and Intel announced that the government was making an $8.9 billion investment in Intel’s common stock, with Trump calling it “a Great American Company that has an even more incredible future.” “This is a great Deal for America and, also, a great Deal for INTEL,” Trump wrote on Truth Social at the...

Reuters reported on Tuesday that the White House is considering taking a stake in the company, citing two people familiar with the matter.


Government Stake

The move underscores Trump’s increasing use of direct government ownership to steer strategic sectors and curb reliance on China, which dominates refining of many critical minerals.

The project is seen as a linchpin in building a domestic...

So it's no longer hyperbole to call Donald Trump a fascist. And....somehow people are either okay or nonchalant about it. The anti-fascists are like the "boy who called wolf." When the wolf really showed up, nobody listened.
