Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) is among Trump’s favorite AI picks and a stock he has taken a personal interest in. In just a matter of months, a beaten-down chip giant that Wall Street had largely written off became one of the market’s top performers, and Trump deserves a meaningful share of the credit. The U.S. government bought 433 million Intel shares at $20.47 each through a conversion of CHIPS Act grants into equity, giving Washington a 9.9% stake in Intel (NASDAQ:INTC). Trump also reportedly helped broker a preliminary deal between Intel and Apple, under which Intel’s 18A node would manufacture chips for iPad Pro and entry-level MacBook Air devices.
