Trump says he hates socialism. So why is he acting like a socialist?

To support chipmaker Intel, the president used our money to buy 433 million shares of Intel stock. That's not a free market.

    TL;DR:

    They claim that since the US is buying stakes in private companies, the US must be going socialist.

    The article mentions that they don’t trust Mr. Trump with owning shares in Intel, but neither do they trust people on the left owning shares in Intel…

    This reads more like someone rambling on about the “big boogeyman” rather than a proper article.

    To be fair, I only skimmed the article, but that was the general impression I got.

    But he doesn’t: socialists use budget money to help people, Trump uses that money to help billionaires.
