3. Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC)

At Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC), there are a lot of Republicans. Paul Otellini and Brian Krzanich are two of them. Intel’s former CEO, Paul Otellini, has been known to support Republicans, including John McCain and Mitt Romney. Otellini has contributed $19,000 in support of the Republicans. Although the majority of that was donated to the National Republican Congressional Committee and Intel’s Political Action Committee, Otellini also made contributions to the election campaigns of Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts, Representative Jeff Flake of Arizona, Speaker John Boehner, and Heather Wilson, who is seeking the Senate seat in New Mexico. Otellini, a manager at Trident Capital Cybersecurity, has tried to work closely with the Obama White House despite criticizing Obama’s lack of job creation skills.

On the other hand, Brian Krzanich, Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC)’s CEO since 2013, has chosen to work closely with Trump in the White House. Brian Krzanich was part of President Donald Trump’s American Manufacturing Council. However, the Chief Executive Officer of Intel announced later on that he would step down from his position on President Donald Trump’s American Manufacturing Council. Krzanich was the first leader in the technology industry to leave the group in the wake of the tragedy that occurred in Charlottesville, Virginia. Krzanich stated in a blog post that he was dedicated to promoting US industry but disagreed with the government’s response to the violent rallies in Charlottesville, which resulted in the death of a woman on Saturday. Krzanich attacked people who are more interested in attacking critics than they were in creating progress, although he did not name the president by name in his criticism.
