Trump is a Marxist Socialist: Nationalizing Companies and Industries is Soviet-Vintage

Don't listen to what he says. Judge him by what he does.

Trump is not only an inveterate liar, cheater, adulterer, and a New York Russian Mafia associate, he is also a convicted criminal felon; he's not only a dictator, but he is also a Socialist to the chagrin of his MAGA morons. His government is nationalizing US companies.

Gavin Newsom Calls Trump A 'Leading Nationalist And Socialist' Over Deal That Riled Up MAGA

California Gov. Gavin Newsom slammed President Donald Trump on Friday over the federal government’s decision to take a 10% stake in tech company Intel.

“I mean, this guy is completely perverted capitalism, Donald Trump,” Newsom told “Pivot” host Kara Swisher Friday. “It’s crony capitalism. It’s whatever you pay him off.”

Newsom’s attack on Trump stemmed from a conversation about New York City mayoral candidate and self-proclaimed democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani, and his plans to create a network of city-owned grocery stores to keep prices down.

The California governor said Mamdani’s plan could be a national policy, drawing a comparison to Trump’s Intel deal. 

“It sounds like Trump’s been paying a lot of attention to him with his desire to socialize great American companies and continue to invest like he did with Intel and others,” Newsom said. 

“It’s just perverse that they could be shaping the Democratic Party in the context of the socialist brand, when, in fact, this guy is the leading nationalist and socialist of our time, Donald Trump,” Newsom added later.

Trump’s Intel deal enraged some from his MAGA base, who called it a “terrible” idea and also compared it to socialism.

Conservative radio host Erick Erickson slammed the president on his podcast, arguing “you can’t just be against socialism when the left does it, if you’re not against socialism overall.”

“So if you support socialism, apparently Donald Trump is your guy,” Erickson continued.

Republican Sens. Thom Tillis (N.C.) and Rand Paul (Ky.) both came out against Trump’s deal, with Tillis telling CBS’s Major Garrett, “I don’t care if it’s a dollar or a billion-dollar stake.”

“That starts feeling like a semi state-owned enterprise à la CCCP,” Tillis said, referring to the Russian acronym for the USSR — Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

If socialism is government owning the means of production, wouldn’t the government owning part of Intel be a step toward socialism?

Terrible idea.
