Food for thought...

Is at least *one angle* of the Trump Administration buying stocks to condition Americans for the future?

Stocks are tremendously overvalued, and a selloff (big or small) will occur at some point.

If the selloff is significant, the Trump Administration would almost certainly try to come in to stem the selling.

Of course, bailing out the stock market would only worsen the situation, but that never phases the government one bit.

The government takes every situation and find ways to make it worse.

But perhaps this early "taking equity positions" in private corporations is a foreshadowing of what the government plans on doing in the future ... on a much bigger scale.
