Trump: "I'm pleased to announce something else. This is a very very big one. The Department of War will be investing $1.5 billion to produce cutting edge semiconductor chips right here in North Carolina."

I know they're props, but those shit-for-brains MAGAs in the background are the real low-IQ individuals Trump always prattles on about. I can't tell if they're bored or if slack-jawed and glassy eyed is simply their default visage.

He throws out things that sound good at his rallies trying to trick people into voting for Republicans, then either you never hear about it again or he will blame Democrats for it not happening. Either way it’s just another lie

This is just after the unspecified submarine parts factory in Northeast Ohio that no one in Ohio knows about. Trump is spewing out bull💩 to try and curry favor, because everyone knows they won’t get the $5,000 loan from their great grandchildren.

What do you mean they plan on letting China take Taiwan they have to have a pretend back up plan that won't be enough and will be so poorly implemented that it will shut down before trump is out of office

That's already happened thanks to the CHIPs act that was passed thanks to President Joe Biden. Typical Sleepy Donnie always tries to take credit for something that has already passed no thanks to him.

it will take 5 to ten yrs to get it running ! and just announce it to the world !! hey China if your listening ......

While making our own chips would be a good idea, how and why would the DOD/government fund this? Is that not a)stupid b) impossible in the near term and c) COMMUNIST (government owning means of production)???????

"The US Department of War has offered semiconductor manufacturer Wolfspeed up to $1.5 billion in conditional financing to expand domestic production of advanced chips used in DRONES, radar, electronic warfare, and missile defense systems" How much does this benefit his sons?

But.....2 weeks, right? Take the bill that Biden passed. Take credit then grift the money somehow and we'll never see any chips in NC. What a thug. Taking credit for what Biden actually got done. The chips act. I'm guessing funds would actually have come from the chips act.

Biden set the stage for the CHIPS and science act, where 12 what states were selected to build semiconductor CHIP plants, but Trump of course clawed back the funding, stating it was overly generous. He is a disgrace I believe Az, Texas and Ohio income are still forging forward

He’s certainly moved up the value chain, steaks, steak knives, wine, real estate courses, and now SC factories. Every one of them fraudulent. Personally, I’m still waiting for his infrastructure plan.

But he also said nothing , nothing , nothing is they lose …. So what will he do with all the money he promised them (if they won)… I see a crypto deal coming…..

That's from the Chips and Science Act signed by Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., Epstein's wingman, you lying tool. Imagine if Democrats actually combatted these horseshit media narratives. They'd have to first take a break from knifing each other in the back.

The DoD...making semiconductor chips. Okay grandpa, you really gotta stop escaping from the home. I know there's no McDonald's there....

1) Its not just in North Carolina, the $ will be used in the 3 states Wolfspeed has manufacturing facilities. 2) There is still a lot of diligence left to be completed before the loan is initiated. 3) Still TBD who actually gets the 7.5 equity interest in Wolfspeed.

manufacturingdive.comWolfspeed signs $1.5B DOD loan for semiconductor production, R&DThe semiconductor maker intends to increase volume at its Mohawk Valley Fab in Marcy, New York, and its Research Triangle Park location in Durham, North Carolina. DOD also committed a $150 million loa...

4) There is a private investment component which is not identified (hence #3). 5) Could be as much as 3 years before deal is finalized which.....could be a non-starter for next administration. 6) Wolfspeed filed for bankruptcy after Trump canceled the 750 million they were supposed to get.

The private manning the "Unexpected Trump Announcement" desk at the Pentagon just said "Hey ChatGPT, craft a press release so it looks like the Department of Defense...War...knows about some semiconductor thing in NC."

Only the Department of "war" is going to have any money, so that's why they're the ones building chip factories, medicine labs, etc. With generals in charge of production, then companies. A military dictatorship is what he's promising

$1.5 billion to produce cutting edge semiconductor chips? No way . 20 billion at least. TSMC investing $265B in the usa. Once done, usa won’t give a shit with china taking Taïwan

Such cognition. Go figure. He, He actualy said something that was privledged information? Give him more rope. Idk. Thereso much. We have a tough love gop ruled congress

This includes the Wolfspeed facility in Durham which was awarded $750 million during the Biden Administration, which the Trump Administration has withheld. The rest is the Sibelco quartz mine. But there doesn't seem to be any official grant listed for them anywhere. So currently zero allocated.

There’s no such thing as the department of war the stupid fucker doesn’t know that it takes an act of Congress to change the name. Honestly, if you’re that stupid should you even be qualified to be president. I think we should have some tests before someone is allowed to run for president😒

No, not that test lol  Perhaps one that has to do with an understanding of how the government works. Perhaps even the test that people take to become citizens  or final exam from high school of civics class. Something that demonstrates some understanding of how our government is supposed to work.

Trump is trying to be the candyman at every rally. I'm sure all the rally goers thought, "Cool! Finally I can get that clean room job at a semiconductor fabrication facility, what with my Masters in Physics."

Yes. And where is this money coming from? Dept of Defense is at risk of just passing their current budget past Congress. Critical thinking, people!

This is a pathetic attempt to bribe voters before the midterms. None of these “offers” are going to one honored. This is deeply nihilistic, not to mention illegal.
