Its time to start calling trump a communist [View all]

the fascists liek to throw out teh term communist or socialist or other names to denigrate dems over anything they can.

in june 12th trump signed off on teh merger of US steel with nippon steel of japan. one condition of the merger was giving the US a so called "golden share"
the power of the share will be held solely by trump during his term and then pass to the treasure and commerce dept after his term.
the golden share grants trump the following powers


Changing U.S. Steel’s name, moving its headquarters from Pittsburgh, and relocating the company outside the U.S.
Closing, idling, selling production locations through 2035, and U.S. Steel’s Granite City Works through 2027.
Cutting the base salary of employees through 2030.
Reducing, waiving or a delaying the timeline set out for $10.8 billion in capital investment.
Acquiring any business in the U.S. that competes with U.S. Steel or its suppliers.


government control of a private business??? smells like Communism to me. and the dems should exploit it . take out ads calling him a commie. call his supporters communist sympathizers.
