Yes and the seeds have already been planted by the current US administration taking various financial stakes in public companies as a condition of corporate welfare.

Huge difference between taking an equity stake in a failing company and nationalizing a successful company. Either way, those seeds were planted well before this admin, though this admin can be seen to have watered/tended them.

The current administration didn’t start that, see the bailouts of the 07-08 financial crisis.
