Trump’s $35 million investment in an Alaskan mining company sounds patriotic—but it’s crossing into dangerous territory. In this episode:
  • How the Trump administration took a 10% government stake in Trilogy Metals—and an option for more
  • Why “fighting China” shouldn’t mean becoming China with government-owned industries
  • The long history of public-private “partnerships” that enrich the elite while taxpayers take the risk
  • How socialism always benefits the wealthy—from Carnegie to “too big to fail” to today’s Big Club
  • Why government should permit business, not own it—and how this move blurs conservative lines
Even if the goal is national security, government equity in private companies is socialism in disguise—and it’s a bad look for an administration that promised to drain the swamp.
