Opinionated summary:
- Despite Republican assurances, Trump called the CHIPS Act “horrible” and pushed for its scrapping, creating chaos for an industry already struggling with uncertainty.
- The Trump administration has already sabotaged the program by laying off key staff and considering changes to the projects, showing its disdain for U.S. industrial growth.
- Industry leaders, who have already committed billions to U.S. chip production, are now left in limbo, thanks to Trump’s shortsighted, destructive rhetoric.
I’d be shocked if they even bothered to hire any this time around lol
“Mr President, you’re the president. You don’t need other people telling you what to do, your own ideas are perfect. By the way, here’s The Hungry Hungry Liberal, A Project 2025 Picturebook for you to read while waiting for Biden to leave.”
That is the sad state of affairs at the white house right now
