Donald Trump just strong armed Intel for a 10% stake and now he's trying to rig the technology market to the direct benefit of the Trump family and their portfolio of crypto-related assets.

He didn't strong arm Intel. The US paid full price for that 10% stake, using funds allocated in 2022 and 2024, mostly from the CHIPS Act. So nothing was 'free'. Beware lies. They come from all directions.

When you promise a company a bunch of incentives, wait several years for them to begin making investments based on those incentives, and suddenly demand a 10% stake in exchange for releasing the congressionally appropriated funds, that's not EXACTLY the same as buying shares on Robin Hood, though.
