How Communist of him. But the MAGA who don't even understand Communism will cheer him on in ignorant bliss.

He and his Broligarch owners like Thiel and his puppet Vance, intend to destroy the U.S. economy. Big Biz would have been better off paying taxes. They'll lose everything with Trump & the Broligarchs.

This is NOT Free Market. Any MAGA who still claims the GOP is capitalist is a liar or a moron.

Blatant extortion racket aside, this should be used as a precedent by the Left to do any nationalization necessary come time. Nothing intrinsically wrong with state controlled business – USPS a testament to that.

No, he isn’t. He’s testing the will of businesses and finding most of them are more than willing to cede their inherent power over government interference without so much as even the hint of resistance.
