In another tweet posted on March 5, 2025, Stanton criticized Trump's position on the CHIPS Act. He questioned Trump's desire to "get rid of the CHIPS Act," describing it as an attack on Arizona’s semiconductor industry. Stanton emphasized that TSMC's significant investment was facilitated by this bipartisan bill.
