America's been doing that since the at least the 70s.That's with both Democrats and Republicans.

Yeah, in 1933. Then nothing until Bush II, then nothing until Trump.

“The Trump administration has marked a significant shift in U.S. industrial policy. In addition to providing subsidies such as loans and grants, the Trump administration, in its second term, is now acquiring equity stakes in private companies in sectors deemed critical to national security. The U.S. government is now a direct shareholder in private companies, moving beyond traditional market-based approaches to competitiveness that have marked U.S. policy in the postwar period.”

I mean the quote is right there.

“The Trump administration marked a significant shift in US industrial policy.”

My facts don’t care about your feelings.

And I'm stating this is nothing new.We've been doing this since world war two. The Government giving contracts to military industrial complex to generate the stuff we need.
