Trump’s Secret Hobby: Becoming a Part-Owner of Private Companies
It turns out Donald Trump has been playing venture capitalist with your tax dollars while preaching small-government rhetoric.
So, the guy who made an entire political brand out of hating socialism and government interference has been quietly grabbing equity in over three dozen private companies. It's almost like the Trump administration decided that the best way to handle the free market was to just buy a seat at the table.
Nobody seems to be talking about this much, but it’s a weird look for a self-proclaimed champion of the private sector. Instead of letting the market do its thing, the government basically became a shareholder in a pile of random businesses. Nothing says 'get the government out of my business' quite like the government literally owning a chunk of your business.
Hypocrisy is apparently a growth industry.
