I do NOT want the federal government picking which businesses should succeed, much less which businesses that taxpayers should invest in. And I don't want the feds using BORROWED capital to "invest."
If this idea originated out of the Dems, there would be a tidal wave of backlash, and rightfully so.
Feel free to weigh in, but as a capitalist I find this repulsive.
Yes, not a good idea. Just imagine Trump sets it up, buys TikTok, and it generally does great for four years and the fund controls a trillion dollars of business in the US Economy... and then Gavin Newsom is elected and is in charge of it.
For the intentions you are thinking, I agree. It’s Trump, there are bigger things that this will tie back to. We’ll have to wait and see.
Here an idea
Instead of going into your daily knee jerk whine mode about anything Trump does, try finding out the details for once BEFORE you post
DeSantis lost, get over it finally
Lol it has nothing at all to do with being “A Capitalist”
Your “capitalist” business is supplied with water, sewer, roads bridges and other infrastructure by Government.
There zero principals involved here. This is just your daily whine at Trump because DeSantis lost the 2024 primary
We don’t need a government-run hedge fund. Trump must rein in his love of the deal, or at least channel it into politics and diplomacy.
Love everything he is doing. But US Government owned TikTok is a horrifying idea.
TIC TOK TRUMP ?
Feel free to weigh in, but as a capitalist I find this repulsive.

There is an economic model/state where the state doesn’t own the means of production, but it decides who the providers are going to be.
I dare not state its name on this forum.
The some total of your postings is finding something to whine at Trump about daily. Spare us the bombastic posturing about “principals”. You obviously have none beyond mindless Trump hate
Agreed. The less government is involved the better.
Critics say a lack of transparency can lead to conflicts and corruption if there are not strict governance rules.
........
I suspect some of these critics cheered Twitter and their govt partners deplatforming the current President.
Love how they use transparency and corruption and not strict governance as their concerns.
Almost like they have been in a coma for the last 9+ years
