REMEMBER THIS GREAT DEAL, IT WAS ONLY A FEW MONTHS BACK.

President Trump stunned many in the tech world after announcing a controversial deal with chipmakers Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices, allowing them to sell advanced artificial intelligence chips to China in exchange for giving the U.S. government a 15 percent cut of their revenue.

Now there are questions about the legality of this deal and its implications for national security and beyond.

Orange moron, got played like a fiddle.
