Golden Share Takeover Sparks Communist-Style Economy Fears

On August 26, 2025, Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump pledged “many more deals” like the U.S. gov­ern­men­t’s 10% stake in Intel—signaling a risky shift toward nation­al­iz­ing key indus­tries amid eco­nom­ic strat­e­gy to “get as much as I can,” echo­ing Chi­nese “com­mu­nist-style cap­i­tal­ism” with rules for com­pli­ance but prof­it poten­tial; this fol­lows Nip­pon Steel’s $14.9 bil­lion acqui­si­tion of U.S. Steel, approved via a per­pet­u­al “gold­en share” grant­i­ng Trump veto pow­er while crit­ics decry it as unprece­dent­ed gov­ern­ment con­trol over pri­vate enter­prise. Immi­gra­tion debates inten­si­fy as Cal­i­for­nia risks los­ing up to three con­gres­sion­al seats due to undoc­u­ment­ed immi­grants count­ed in the census—potentially inflat­ing rep­re­sen­ta­tion and Elec­toral Col­lege votes for Demo­c­ra­t­ic states like Cal­i­for­nia (2–4 extra seats per experts). Trump’s crime crack­down esca­lates with plans for Nation­al Guard deploy­ments to Demo­c­ra­t­ic-led cities like Chica­go (262 homi­cides), Bal­ti­more, New York City, Oak­land, and Los Ange­les. These moves, includ­ing spe­cial­ized Guard units for urban unrest, risk con­sti­tu­tion­al chal­lenges, amid fears of erod­ed state sov­er­eign­ty and author­i­tar­i­an over­reach.

• Cal­i­for­nia has prob­a­bly 3 con­gres­sion­al seats that are ille­gal due to the ille­gals that are being count­ed in the cen­sus. They allow ille­gals to influ­ence the vote. 
• Trump says the US paid noth­ing to own 10% of Intel. After the US takes stake in Intel, Trump pledges many more deals. Three days after the US agreed to acquire a stake in the chip­mak­er Intel, Trump sig­naled Mon­day that he would pur­sue sim­i­lar invest­ments in oth­er major com­pa­nies, his new eco­nom­ic strat­e­gy as an attempt to “get as much as I can.” Trump’s pledge under­scored a sig­nif­i­cant and poten­tial­ly risky shift in the rela­tion­ship between gov­ern­ment and pri­vate enter­prise. The White House expressed new fer­vor for nation­al­iz­ing cer­tain indus­tries and tech­nolo­gies in ways that con­ser­v­a­tives once may have found unfath­omable. To take over US Steel, the Japan­ese-based Nip­pon Steel agreed to grant the US gov­ern­ment a “gold­en share” in the com­bined com­pa­ny to influ­ence its direc­tion. This is a step in the Chi­nese mod­eled econ­o­my, com­mu­nist-style cap­i­tal­ism. There are a few rules you have to com­ply with but out­side of that you can make all the mon­ey you want. To nation­al­ize things there are things to think about. 
• And this is what they are side­track­ing you with. The Mary­land man, not a good guy, Judge says Trump can­not remove him while his tri­al is in progress. 
• Are you ok with the Nation­al Guard into these cities? Pritzk­er sends a warn­ing to Trump on the Nation­al Guard threat. Chica­go is not open for Trump to come too. Is Trump high­light­ing crime, what hap­pens when he starts talk­ing to Kennedy and John­son about Louisiana? What is a spe­cial­ized Nation­al Guard Unit to address crime in US Cities, Chica­go, Bal­ti­more, New York City, Oak­land, and Los Ange­les. As of this morn­ing there are 262 homi­cides in Chica­go this year. While the media will quote the sta­tis­tics that are low­ered by a % but it is still 262 dead. These are the poor peo­ple that the media doesn’t care about, if there is a name or a dol­lar val­ue to the per­son. But if it is a bum shot in an alley some­where they are just a num­ber. You will start hear­ing that Trump is set­ting up a coup.
