They didn't "invest". The Dems gave Intel free money to invest in fabs. The next President said the US public got ripped off by that and got a 10% stake "for free" to try and make up for it.

It was worth $8.9 billion when the US govt got it "for free". It's worth $23B today, even after the big drops recently. How is the US public worse off?
