I can't believe we elected this guy

Trump wants to kill $52.7 billion semiconductor chips subsidy law
"Your CHIPS Act is a horrible, horrible thing. We give hundreds of billions of dollars and it doesn't mean a thing. They take our money and they don't spend it," Trump said in a speech to Congress. "You should get rid of the CHIPS Act
Step 1: Get rid of CHIPS Act, eliminating alternative source of high tech microchips our military is entirely reliant upon
Step 2: Hand Taiwan (only source of these chips) to China, literally shutting down development and production most of our high tech military equipment
Step 3: Let China have Taiwan chip production facilities to create higher performing military equipment than we can, because our supply chain is gone
Step 4: Trump Tower Beijing and Shanghai
Why is explained in this article. It had also been going down for years so suddenly bouncing up a bit makes sense.
"Helland elaborated on those challenges by explaining that, for the first time since the metric has been tracked, most young people have never considered the option of serving in the military.
The reasons behind that are multifold, Helland said. Young Americans have fewer ties to friends or family members who have served in the military. There is a declining presence of veterans in our society. Approximately 77% of people between the ages of 17 and 24 require some type of waiver to serve due to any number of disqualifications.
To counter such challenges, Helland said the military has implemented a medical pilot program that allows recruits to join the military without a waiver for numerous health conditions — provided they meet certain requirements. Additionally, there are service member prep courses that prepare recruits to meet the strenuous requirements of military service. Moreover, DOD is seeking to reconnect with youth and their influencers by showing them the value of serving."
Recruitment Rises 12.5% Despite Ongoing Challenges
The Defense Department's armed services branches recruited 12.5% more people in fiscal year 2024 than in the year prior despite a challenging and disinterested recruiting market.

So, you can get into the army now even if you have bone-spurs!!!
Almost surreal, that the same folks that jammed out to CCR a few decades ago became Trumpers...
I believe a plant will be built in the US based off of what Trump said in his speech if we can believe that.
i believe this was one of Vivek's promises as presidential candidate and it was thoroughly criticized...
That is what the CHIPs Act was intended to do; and what the funding was for.
Eliminate the incentives, and we may NOT see the industry development stateside.
Trump has singlehandedly secured 100's of billions in new chip producing plants being built here in the USA. None of that happened under Biden nor would it have taken place during a Harris Administration.
Voting 3rd party is disengaging? I heard the same thing from Trump voters 4 years ago. Only a simpleton sees it that way. People compromising their convictions to support flawed candidates under the premise that there are only two choices is how we got into this mess.
100% FALSE
The chip manufacturing was in response to the CHIPs Act that the Biden admin championed and passed.
You're simply lying about this here.
Nope, it took place after those company heads met privately with Trump, Biden was somewhere eating jello when this took place.
Embrace reality Joe.
Again, flat out lies.
Development on the chip-manufacturing has been ongoing for years now, ever since Biden signed the legislation.
Two Years Later: Funding from CHIPS and Science Act Creating Quality Jobs, Growing Local Economies, and Bringing Semiconductor Manufacturing Back to America

Two years ago today, President Biden signed the historic and bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act into law investing nearly $53 billion in funding to bring semiconductor supply chains back to the U.S, create jobs, support American innovation, and protect our national security.
To date, the Commerce Department has announced over $30 billion in proposed CHIPS private sector investments spanning 23 projects in 15 states. These projects include 16 new semiconductor manufacturing facilities and are expected to create over 115,000 manufacturing and construction jobs across the country. Commerce is on track to allocate all remaining funds with CHIPS grantees by the end of 2024.
“As a result of the CHIPS and Science Act, we’ve made huge strides over the past two years in implementing the program and amassing private sector interest and enthusiasm,” said Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo. “Under the leadership of President Biden and Vice President Harris, we’re creating good-paying jobs and bringing semiconductor manufacturing back to the United States.”
With these CHIPS investments, America will be home to all five of the world’s leading-edge logic and DRAM semiconductor manufacturers. No other economy in the world has more than two. As a result, the U.S. is expected to manufacture nearly 30 percent of the world’s leading-edge chips by 2032 – up from zero percent when President Biden and Vice President Harris took office.
The biggest laugh line of Trump's speech last night was his declaration that Biden was the worst president in US history. This coming from Trump of all people was so laughable and yet so pathetic. Here he was giving his address in the Capitol, the same building that just 50 months ago he had sent his thugs who proceeded to beat up the Capitol police, sent congressmen scurrying for their lives, and in the process caused over $2 million in structural damage to the Capitol itself. And yet here he was, the twice impeached convicted felon, who was only saved from jail by the November election, basking in the accolades of his gullible Republican base. Sorry Donald, you've got the title of the worst president in US history and it isn't even close.
