President Trump just pulled off one of the smartest deals in American history. He got the US government an 8.9 billion dollar stake in Intel without paying a single penny out of taxpayer pockets. The deal converted old government grants into ownership shares, making America richer overnight.
This is exactly the kind of brilliant business thinking we need in Washington. Trump took money that was already promised to Intel and turned it into actual ownership for the American people. Now when Intel makes money, America makes money too.
The stock market loved this deal. Intel shares jumped 28 percent this month alone, adding billions in value to our government stake. That means more money flowing back to hardworking American taxpayers instead of just giving handouts to big corporations.
Trump is playing chess while his critics play checkers. He saw Intel struggling and turned a bailout into a business partnership that benefits America first. This is how you negotiate when you actually care about putting American interests ahead of corporate welfare.
The deal also helps protect our national security from China. By keeping Intel strong and American-owned, we stop depending on foreign countries for the computer chips that run everything. Trump learned from past mistakes where we let China steal our technology and jobs.
Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan initially worried Trump because of his Chinese business ties. But Trump handled it perfectly, making sure Tan proved his loyalty to America before moving forward. That is how you protect our country from foreign influence.
Critics are already whining about the government owning part of a private company. But Trump paid nothing and got billions in return for American taxpayers. Only someone who hates success would complain about a deal this good for our country.
This Intel deal is just the beginning of Trump making America rich again. His team says more deals like this are coming to other industries. Finally we have a president who knows how to make deals that put America first instead of last.
