Does Trump get his cut

Cost per vent to average American is 5000$ without insurance

The five largest cities would need 30k , 25k , 23k 22k and 21k . Around 120,000 if you take NYCs original estimate of 30K. Now the rest of the country ? Some people now expect this number to have been in stockpile BEFORE CCP virus. Exactly how ?

How much is President and his family, GOP making off this deal?

GM FINALLY has a contract with U.S. government to make ventilators! THINK ABOUT IT: Trump bragged about getting them to make ventilators, Trump insulted GM, Trump accused them of price gouging, HE accused them of delaying. YET THEY DIDN'T HAVE A CONTRACT UNTIL NOW. TRUMP LIED!

It is my hope that General Motors did the right thing and gave the United States the best possible price. But at about $16,670 each it doesn’t seem to be the case.

Made in the USA? Please. No more faulty made in CCP china

YOU DONALD TRUMP . Credit where credit is due

CoryGroshek Ventilators are useless. If you watch your TV for hours you can read this for yourself. Zoom in and know why ventilators are just causing more trouble and not helping in anyway since red blood cells can't store O² anymore.

你在开玩笑吗?溢价部分哪去了?每个人都清楚它的售价。我的天呐。原来是这样振兴经济?这叫振兴私人口袋!有招标吗?我的天呐!

This should’ve been done 2 months ago.
