This was going to happen whether Trump became president or not, because Trump isn't the problem causing this, it is a way simpler problem: greed.

Trump is the cause of it, just last term.

Very long story short- Trump crashing oil prices in 2016/2017 more or less 'killed' GlobalFoundries and which left TSMC as the only leading edge pureplay foundry. (Intel isn't pureplay, Samsung is no longer chasing leading edge)

Trump caused the chip shortage.
