Opinionated summary:
- Despite Republican assurances, Trump called the CHIPS Act “horrible” and pushed for its scrapping, creating chaos for an industry already struggling with uncertainty.
- The Trump administration has already sabotaged the program by laying off key staff and considering changes to the projects, showing its disdain for U.S. industrial growth.
- Industry leaders, who have already committed billions to U.S. chip production, are now left in limbo, thanks to Trump’s shortsighted, destructive rhetoric.
There is already enough data for level-headed people to notice that Trump is acting against the interests of his country.
The fact we have to rely on lifelong grifters to notice is the really terrifying part.
