"He's taking an extreme left-wing position which looks like state capitalism,"
"It is MAGA going Maoist. So it is taking away the discretion of individual managers-the control of the ownership of the business by its stakeholders, by its owners, the decision-making. And it is disrupting the wisdom of markets."
"He's come up with something new, which is the iron fist of an autocrat,"
"People live in homes, not corporations,"
Within 24 hours, President Donald Trump implemented three major state interventions across distinct markets, signaling a departure from traditional Republican free-market policy toward direct government control of private economic activity. The interventions included a presidential ban on large institutional investors purchasing single-family homes and a call for Congress to make the prohibition law. Critics characterize the approach as state capitalism and autocratic, arguing it replaces market-driven decision-making with executive discretion and undermines managerial and shareholder control. The rapid, broad measures illustrate a pattern of using the presidency to manage markets directly rather than relying on market mechanisms.
