Trump presses GM, Ford over ventilators
President Trump on Friday lashed out at General Motors, pressing it and Ford in a tweet that they should be churning out ventilators to be used to treat patients with the coronavirus.Trump&nbs…

As we have said before, government is not the solution to this overblown pandemic -- the free markets are ultimately the solution, under Trump's guidance...which is why he rightfully ripped GM for putting greed over patriotism and trying to gouge the American people over the manufacturing of much needed ventilators...
"As usual with 'this' General Motors, things just never seem to work out. They said they were going to give us 40,000 much needed Ventilators, 'very quickly'. Now they are saying it will only be 6000, in late April, and they want top dollar. Always a mess with Mary B, Invoke P"
"Invoke P" means he is going to invoke the Defense Production Act to force greedy companies like GM to produce these ventilators for the benefit of Americans, not for the benefit of GM shareholders....he then went on to totally own this fake CEO chick at GM by saying....
"General Motors MUST immediately open their stupidly abandoned Lordstown plant in Ohio, or some other plant, and START MAKING VENTILATORS, NOW!!!!!! FORD, GET GOING ON VENTILATORS, FAST!!!!!!"
Now obviously Trump forgot that GM sold that plant to a truck manufacturing company last year -- I say he forgot that because he praised that deal last year when it happened....bottom line is, we need ventilators ASAP -- altho most of the states saying they need them really don't need them and are just overstating how much they need them so they can get extra free stuff on the government's dime -- Trump should ration out who gets what based on who has been nicer to him....if they don't like it, have them make their own
