BREAKING: Howard Lutnick just suggested on CNBC that the Trump admin is in discussions about whether they should take stakes in defense companies like Lockheed Martin. I mean what could go wrong, right? The Government profiting from war and owning the means of production.
And think of just how it will help lower the price of eggs? #MAGA idiots
Gee, I wonder who will win the bids every time?
"Back in the USSR" comes to mind... Nutlick, Felon47 and the other numbnuts hates communism... Right...
This was one of the many orders he received from his boss, Putin, when they had their last date in Alaska.
#boycottIntel
This escalates multiple times a day when the fuck are we going to do something?
#ReleaseEpsteinTrumpFiles
JFC
Normally, you can tell the difference between Capitalism and Corporatism in how a government understands the importance of competition. This melding into Corporatocracy is beyond that. BTW, this isn't just the government owning production, this is Corporations becoming the government.
In the old days, didn't they used to just call that "Communism"?
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
WTF
What is it Joe Bidden Donald Trump has done: Excalty as Satan in the Bible: Tempte people to do wrong: Being in war with Everybody: Delivering 65/70% Weapons: Thon Shall not! Because it is wrong. and the Law says it also: And we remind you: It is Holy! pharao88.wordpress.com/the-law/

War is big business. Trump admin needs to wet their beak
Lutnick is a PEDOPHILE!
No, but we should do replicate testing for safety on these companies to shore up global confidence in brands like Boeing, Lockheed, and our automotive sector. One source of testing is not enough.
Instead of taking ownership in these companies (and I still wonder how tRuMp and fam will profit from all of this directly), why don't they tax these big corporations and make them PAY their fair share? Why do the Rs think this take-over is ok, but taxes aren't?
Reports are they are taking percentages of major corporations. Just like Putin. Lots of profit in war and killing.
LOL. Other countries weren't already worried about kill switches, this should totally help. 🤣
How is all of this even legal? I feel like I am in a horrible nightmare.
Hmmmm. Wonder how much Lockheed stock is in his hedge funds portfolio….
This must be some new kind of Capitalism, that no educated or intelligent person has ever heard of or conceived. Next time some MAGA person tells you they are a capitalist, laugh in their face. Nope.
I thought MLB buying Rawlings was a bad idea.
And the orange dumbass wants to rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War. See where this is going?
Who is going to stop them? They’re breaking law after law and violating the Constitution!
Holy shit, I read the comments. My friends, this is not communism. Communism is when the people control the means of production. When a fascist government nationalizes it, they do it to enrich themselves and their cronies. It's a form of fascism called 'state capitalism', same as in China.
Do it! Give us more reasons to boycott your absurd defence industry! The faster you do it, the faster we decouple from this Nazi bullshit.
Imagine what the right would say and do if Obama or Biden suggested something like this. I hate ALL these people!!!
They will blame Bill Obama Biden for this anyway.
The problem is they they do not understand the implications of this. Sad to say but I believe a lot of people get information from entertainment which is under no constraint to be factual, not that it needs to be. They dont see that republicans are trying to change america to a monoachry.
This is getting more and more out of control and no one can stop them!!!! They’re moving at lightening speed! No guardrails @housedemocrats.bsky.social @judiciarydems.senate.gov @senatedemocrats.bsky.social @judiciarydems.senate.gov
They'll be selling suitcase nukes if they're not stopped.
But isnt that literally the very communism they're always screaming about?
Don't forget the lining of 🍊💩's pockets.
These companies employ over 700 lobbyists annually and have spent more than $2.5 billion on lobbying over the past two decades, potentially influencing political decisions.
What I never understood is how do these companies who seem to rely heavily (some solely) on DOD contracts, use that money they receive for lobbyists?? It seems to be a misuse of funds... I would say Conflict of Interest, but that standard is just a suggestion for the Trump cabal..
In 2024, 73% of Lockheed Martin’s total revenue came from the U.S. government, with 65% of that amount coming specifically from the Department of Defense.
That's now the Dept of War.
With DOD changing to department of war, it kind of makes you wonder how long the shadow government will be able to ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ Trump’s corpse around our find a Elvis impersonator since the two look so similar. 😏
The draft will be coming back!
The dictator wants to rename the DOD to the Department of War. EPSTEIN FILES Why not make it a profit driven company while we're at it? EPSTEIN FILES Isn't he sposed to be "the Peace President"? EPSTEIN FILES
This treasonous convicted orange piece of shit talked so much crap about the investments of Nancy pelocy and Lockheed and now this clown is now going to invest in this company. Boycott all maga corporations and churches
Nostradumbass ALWAYS projects the future.
Insane and stupid as you should expect…
I thought GOP was not pro-socialism.
So… Trump is now full-on communism? I would think that maga would be in a complete meltdown over this.
Lutnick demonstrates his proclivity for socialism.
For those that haven't been following Intel. They are in ROUGH shape right now. What we just did was convert their loans under Chips and Science Act into a 10% ownership stake. We would have been better off just giving them that money. Now we may have to cough up a LOT more. This was 2 weeks ago
If this isn't a signal that they DO want more war, I don't know what is.
But if we raise their taxes they'll take their money and go home. It's a shame how stupid they think their base is.
Lutnick is a fascist. He hates America. He is a Trump regime fraudster. Another example of greed.
Just naked corruption. This is fascism, plain as day. The marriage of capital with state power, and for all the worst traits of the human condition
www.newsweek.com/howard-lutni...
Hmmm now what does this sound like… www.superbusinessmanager.com/how-business...
Yeah, sounds like NO NOBEL PEACE PRIZE FOR YOU!!!
What general warned about that?
Trump continues our slide into fascist-socialism. (not good kind socialism) Any news outlet not reporting it this way is both-sidesing us into Dictatorship.
A bunch if crooks
So lutnick is a socialist
Just think, one person could leak the Epstein files and end all this madness.
This slime Lutnick is one of the reasons Orange Caligula isn't doing it alone. Just like Hitler didn't do it alone. Remember the support monsters.
JFC! It should be obvious...we have a POS CONMAN RAPIST LIAR in charge, and his ONLY concern is making MORE money. Of course he'll profit from KILLING others.
If Trump pushes the U.S. government to invest in Lockheed Martin while secretly owning stock (through a shell company or ally), or if Lockheed gave him something in return (campaign support, personal financial benefit), that would look a lot like Teapot Dome 2.0 — and very likely impeachable.
This man is winning the contest for the most dumb" cabinet appointee
😂😂😂
Will they all have to report to the Department of War now?
Omg
This is insane
"Takes" as in steals.
Excellent qualifying criteria for the Peter-The-Great War Prize
People forget that the reason we have Prez at two terms is that FDR tried this in his third term...
State owned industries? Comrade Lutnick doesn't sound like he is for Capitalism.🙂
To be fair, the government used to own the means for production with Springfield Arsenal, etc, but Republicans shut them down and privatized the military industrial complex. Now, they want to be part owners to basically guarantee taxpayer subsidies for billionaire CEOs while lining their pockets.
Can we say socialism boys and girls? From the folks that have long hated that word.
Is this movie on a loop at the WHITE HOUSE movie night? Inquiring minds would like to know! Perhaps it plays after they watch the Handmaid’s Tale(it’s their ‘porn’)? 🍿
😡
Never thought I'd live to see the Republicans turn pro-Russia, so I guess it only makes sense that now they've turned into Actual Commies too. Goldwater and Reagan must be rolling in their graves.
Yep and… Goldwater and Reagan started this shit. They pushed the small stone down the mountain and now it’s gained momentum and is about to crush us all.
Howard Nutlick, who was neighbors and friends with Jeffrey Epstein? How come no one ever asks him, his relationship with Epstein?
Can someone slap that smirk off of Nitlickers face?
In 1998, Lutnick purchased a Manhattan property at 11 East 71st Street, behind the Henry Clay Frick House, from the Comet Trust. The townhouse was previously owned by an entity associated with businessman Les Wexner and Jeffrey Epstein, a financier and child sex offender.
Lutnick was Epstein’s neighbor for years.
Criminals inserted by a pedophile trying to stay out of prison.
Correction: Lockheed Martin makes 73% of its revenue from the US government. Why does the Trump admin always have to lie? Even when they don't need to they just lie.
So Trump is going to say that light, heat, power, water & service monopolies who provide over priced unreliable services to their consumers must make customers shareholders.
Now we're going to see every company or corporation that receives federal funding. Our tax dollars. Lockheed gets a boatload.
WAR WAR WAR

Communism propaganda socialism the Rethuglicans mantra make America communist again
Ffs
Many are discussing the “advantages” of running the government on a business model. “Less waste, less fraud, etc…”. Thoughts??
And this follows Trump’s Department of War comments.
Don Chipotle & his Sancho Ponzis
WHEN YOU ELECT CRIMINALS, YOU WILL GET CORRUPTION!!!
Is this Communism or Socialism?
Nationalize the defense industry! And the media! And big Pharma! And the Railroads! And the Tech bros! Privatize the schools and hospitals!
Evil minds that plot destruction Sorcerer of death's construction
How about they take over Space X while they’re at it?
Oh yeah, I bet.
Once again, these people are trying to take over the entire country businesses that have long been not government run. What the hell you who voted for Trump yeah this is the shit that we knew what happened she told you, but oh no no woman can be president in this fucking country
Nutlick and his fat boss think these shares are theirs. Besides that... Why does Nutlick always grin like a moron?
National Socialism resurfaces in America…
Wow, this is about the dumbest idea ever.
Trump obviously went to the Xi/Putin school of business. And they call Bernie and AOC socialists.
This is the definition of communism.
It really isn't
You’re right. More like a state capitalist China flavor of communism.
Isn’t this illegal? It sound like it!
every damn day that minute when... DEMs in congress should be grabbing the mic to explain why stakes in defense companies are maximally dangerous and CANNOT BE ALLOWED. Meanwhile Schumer & Jeffries refuse to embrace the single mayoral candidate TO CREATE EXCITEMENT.
It is amazing how quickly and easily MAGA sold their core beliefs because Trump said so.
Chairman Mao would be so proud.
SO, government control over private business? sounds a LOT like Communism, i thought that was bad to republicans?
And the extortion continues...
Defeat the communists--that's what they are now. State ownership of corporations? It's wild!
Doesn't communist China so the same thing?
Trump, Lutnik, and Bessent are thieves bent on controlling America's greatest companies.
Lutnick is another GREEDY REPUBLICAN who only cares about his personal gain. NO TRUST for his ideas.
Republican politicians corruption
The military machine currently owns the politicians and writes their armed policies.
Can they award contracts to companies they own stock in? That seems like a conflict of interest. I feel like it’s an attempt to circumvent the oversight of the contracting process. We can’t print more money so we give them more tax dollars at the expense of public programs. Wealthy cash grab.
Howard Lutnick is another pedophile associate of epstein
Setting up to invade Canada seen as Lougheed Martin has a huge stake in Canada.
That thrombosis better arrive soon. Or the Epstein evidence. Anything to stop this destruction.
The government having a financial interest in waging war…what could go wrong… oh wait, they already have a personal interest in the form of campaign donations.
People loosing their you know what over Mamdani suggesting government run grocery stores are pretty quiet about Trump WH forcing its way into private companies. 10% Gov stake in Intel is already done.
Lutnick was speared from the travesty of 9-11. He certainly has come full circle at 💩ing all over a second chance
Taking a cue from Nazi Germany 90 years ago.
These guys are all thieves and liars!
I’m old enough to remember when Republicans were anti communist.
Why the FUCK aren’t these moronic incompetent Democrats calling this what it is???? SOCIALISM!!! Or, more to the god damned point, NATIONAL SOCIALISM!!!
How can the government just take 10% of anything, for taxes? tariffs?hostile takeover?
Fuck this. These people are so stupid...magats are dumb. We should not be governed by these fools.
Lutnick is a nutlick
😳 Nooooooooooo 🫣
So nationalising industry.. sound a bit.. communist ??
Hmmm, thought this was what socialists do. And, while I'm at it, would the Government take a stake - or would it go to line the pockets of #47 and his minions. The whole thing seems very suspicious.
I’d pay someone to wipe that shitty grin permanently off his face
Oh FUCK no
This is out of control.
This is socialism, the very thing they keep freaking out about.
God damn, does Trump need to go already.
Some people on here said Queen Elizabeth had the same hand bruising and cankles shortly before she passed. Can we get some Karma please?
This is Trump demanding his cut from American corporations. Why are the shareholders not protesting?
Government owning the means of production leans towards communism
Please... Could someone please explain to me how the US government is allowed to own private businesses. Explain it like I am 5.
Since large DoD equipment is bid on and contracts awarded, wouldn't the government have to buy a stake in each one of them? Otherwise, it wouldn't be a fair bidding process. A free market needs all businesses to be separate from government rule!
📌
Government is not a business. It is service. Of the people, by the people and FOR the people. It is the ultimate non profit. Orange dick head just doesn’t get it. Plus he’s a shitty business man.
Every day more misery inflicted by these psychopaths.
How about these corporations just pay more of their fair share of taxes!!!
Unbelievable!
#MonstrousAngerOfTheGuns @shadowworldinv1.bsky.social
Hey wait, isn't that the communism they've been warning us about from Democrats?
Watch, trump will later sell the shares to himself at a low price and then sell them for a ludicrous profit.
This administration is out of control!
Down with socialism! Socialism is for pinko commies... Hello communism! Make America great again. Make it make sense.
This is even more relevant now. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
50501 is not a safe organization to protest with. It's better to organize your own local demonstrations.
Go away
It's like he thinks he owns these things? He doesn't understand that when he's gone Democrats may be in control or a completely different party or different leadership. He's not a wise president. He's a fool.
As opposed to individual politicians?
This is so out of bounds. Now private enterprises have to compete with government owned "private" enterprises - not really a level playing field for capitalism. Hopefully, when we get a Dem president in 2028 he/she just divests this shit.
It would not be that much different from the current ad hoc arrangement.
Sure smells.of communism.
On our way to being the western most region of Red China.
Communist. Huh
i'll take my $30 million bonus check NOW!
😱🤦♀️😳🤬
Haven't the Republicans been fear mongering about communism for decades? I guess communism is Republican chic now.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Isn’t that how the Communists did it: nationalize private companies? Comrade Trump had a good teacher in Vladimir Putin.
Nazi Germany.
Another step closer to communism.
It would certainly put a damper on interest in buying their products by overseas customers.
They do know this is Socialism, right?
Can't have an election if your at war...so says Don Oldrump
Ahhhhh The cult-think behind the renaming of DoD back to Dept of War becomes clearer & clearer. War is Peace when trumpy can fleece 🙄 Americans are waking up & it is glorious.
All American companies need to lawyer up, and DO NOT BEND THE KNEE.
The question remains...where do these assets go, and who controls them. Where is Congress. It looks like a defacto sovereign wealth fund (which we know Trump is enamored of), a private slush fund for the executive branch free of Congressional input.
I think the more likely outcome is that Lockheed Martin shifts to focus more on crazy spit-ball projects, becomes more bureaucratic and ineffective, and international competitors in Dassault and BAE Systems will benefit.
End communism now. Impeach Trump!
Election Truth Alliance just completed their analysis of North Carolina. More anomalies found similar to Pennsylvania. youtu.be/shB6QhkKEVA?...
He is following the Putin handbook to the letter! We are freaking Russia. I HATE THESE M-Fers!!
So now the republicans do communism now? Ok, got it.🤦♂️
we are stuck in upside-down world 🙃
TRUMP IS THE REAL CRIMINAL, IF WE COULD FIND FIVE HONEST REPUBLICANS WE COULD END THIS. BUT FIVE HONEST REPUBLICANS DO NOT EXIST IN THIS COUNTRY.
The day after Trump again suggests changing the Department of Defense to the Department of War and claiming we've been too defensive and should be more offensive. Coincidence? I think not!
Maybe it’s just me, but wouldn’t you think the MILITARY taking over Washington D.C. would get Congress back a few days early from their very LONG vacation? This is a true EMERGENCY 🆘!
This guy is the epitome of a scumbag
Uhm, Communism much? I mean like, isn't that how the USSR ran its industry? Under government ownership?
No, not communism. More like a kingdom
He needs to put down the pipe. Crack-a-lacka...cracker.
Just another reason for American allies to turn to Europe and Japan, South Korea for their new fighter planes and other military equipment. Maybe not be many orders left for poor Lockheed Martin.
Military-industrial complex much?
I can't stand to listen to that prick. He always laughs off concern about their ludicrous plans.
That's because they don't give a fig, this government has turned the country into their personal kingdom
Greedy Fuck! Not surprised they’re are trying to profit off our taxpayer dollars…. While given the other chunk to Genocidal Occupier states like IsRATel
Nutlick is the biggest bootlicking sycophant of all. The man is a moron.
Where in the hell is Congress and the courts? Major conflict of interest!!!
