mikegod20 Sad that he HAS to “require” it... Tr🇺🇸mp

kingtalktime Sure...

His ego is truly overridden ...i hope this won’t be a “medicine after” death plans ...

There is no shortage of vents! There are thousands and thousands for sale online! Do a simple search! This is just another scam!

Kudos to Mr President

Turns out Trump was never the facist, power grabbing authoritarian Democrats & their media have been shoving down our throats like obsessive maniacs 24/7 for 3+ yrs. Turns out it was all projection Is Donald Trump A Dictator? SideEffectsOfQuarantineLife

CNN and other fake news outlets must hate children. When the secretary of education started to talk about education and the wonderful things that are happening, every news outlet turned it off. What did they go to? Their silly opinions, not facts!☹️

Okay o

A buck shy and an hour late.

They were already making what they could. You don't just throw this equipment together, it's a matter of life & Death.

Should have took your money out of the stock market weeks ago too big brain genious

Trump again behind the 8 ball on using the Defense Production Act, just like he was with the coronavirus tests. Americans will pay the price for his inactions. There is no economy if there is no living.

And is there an act to invoke to get rid of a dangerous leader

took him long enough

About bloody time

Finally!!!

Enough with the fear propaganda BS cnn... as that greata slore would say... How dare you!$

Pretty drastic step for a hoax...

This Pandemic shows how unfit Trump is lead the nation. He wasted the whole of February in preparation for this outbreak,

GM may have the plant to assemble, but where should GM get all the parts and raw materials?

Is all the yelling at GM because the CEO is a woman? Would he have had that arrogance with a man? Is he demanding GM produce ventilators knowing it can’t retrofit its plants and produce for weeks? He’ll blame them for the failure later on. JoeBiden

I love all you Twitter people that just don't pay attention and let TDS get to you. GM balked at what they said they would do so the President then forced them. He was trying to let them do what was right. Not force the issue.

Freaking took him long enough!!!!

Make masks for all to keep the economy running. He wants us to work doesn’t he?

Too little too late old man trump DumpTrump2020

What was he waiting for?

Took him long enough

He always was the slow kid in class

John Dyson made a ventilator in 10 hours

Fina fuckin ly

He acts like he done this. Ford already agreed to make ventilators Trump said no but he acts like he make the decision to do this.

What the fuck took so long Mr. T? VoteBlueToSaveAmerica VoteBlueToSaveTheWorld

No body knows the virus than him.

Umm....he wanted them to open a plant they no longer own.

Late as ever...that's Dopey Don.

Looks like the Joe Biden update to me. Spare us his opinion. Let’s have updates be factual only. That’s what they are supposed to be

He is trying real hard to get re-elected

Hubris, he flipped. No coherent strategy to manage the crisis.

Finally, it’s about damn time

I thought we didn't need ventilators yesterday..... What changed ?

Late...as usual.

Too late they already are.

Is this Trump shilling for big corporations?

GM didn’t hesitate to take our tax dollars to bail themselves out a decade+ ago. Step up to the plate GM. Earn some of that free money we gave you.

While I understand the need, is there anyway that employees now being forced to work might hold the US govt liable should they become sick?

And it took this long because Oh I remember. COVID19 is a hoax. 🤦‍♂️ POTUS COVID19 shameful masks ventilators

I little tooo late I think

So can any body at CNN explain why they are running yesterday’s breaking news ticker under today’s breaking news

Title correction: 'After stalling for weeks, Impeached President Trump'....

K, guys. Shoulda been done before. We know. I am not a Trump person. But there are so many 'negative nancys' here. (No offense to any Nancys!) He had said and done bad things. He has made bad decisions. But it is okay the just say 'Thank God' once a while without the criticism.

Finally a week short....

And it's been how long now and how many people are affected and how many people have died before you decided to do it .

没有谁比特朗普更了解冠状病毒的了!

Trump was LYING when he said GMA is very SLOW in manufacturing ventilators. This is ONE OF TRUMP'S MODUS OPERANDI for reelection..! He even ASKED HELP FROM CHINA & KOREA to donate to us masks & ventilators. This is HIS & his CRONIES' TACTICS SO HE WILL GET A 'HI RATING'!!

Trump NEVER mentioned before that he was ordering GMA to manufacture ventilators undr the Defense Production Act. He LIED to us during his Press release that he will NOT use his power for d Defense Prod Act! Now all of a sudden he is ordering GMA TO MANUFACTURE VENTILATORS?

This is why we bailed our auto manufacturing! For times like this to be utilized!

I thought he said he did that two weeks ago?

And finish building his wall

They'll break just ike their crappy cars

It’s sad that this company was first in line for a bailout in 2009 but now has to be forced to actually act like a good US citizen. Please grow up GM!

Commander and Chief

Thanks for dragging your feet..Bigly Appreciated”...can’t make this %it up!

realDonaldTrump Is it just me or does it seem like a bad idea to have automobile manufacturers making ventilators? Why not ramp up production at vent manufacturers?

realDonaldTrump NYGovCuomo How many of those ventilators will go to NY mayor Cuomo’s stockpile of unused ventilators?

Does Ford has the specs and requirements? No! +2wks. Retrofit assembly from vehicles to medical equipment +2mth. Confirm design and configurations +1mth. Procurement cycle of parts +1.5mth. Confirm deliverables work and FDA certs +1mth. So if all goes to plan. 6 month rollout

Why wasn't this done weeks or months ago.

It’s about damn time. We need competent and compassionate leadership in this time.

Visit here everyone for digital marketing

A lil too late dumbfuck

Tf took so long

By the time automobile manufacturers start manufacturing medical grade ventilators it will be months it’s practically the same as asking them to build a Boeing 747

Good

Finally.

What about N95s for Docs and Nurses?

How quickly would realDonaldTrump have invoked the Defense Production Act if the shortage was hairspray and tanning oil? Just saying.

A few months too late

Day late and a dollar short is better than nothing. This is only for one company

Once again trump screws up and delayed what should have been done a month ago. Why on earth was this delayed?

So now you want an authoritarian! Got it.

This should have been done months ago!

These are the kind of things we need MBuhari for. It's not just about the money. Even if he can't do it, let someone else do it. The VP or whoever. Nigeria needs that leadership to beat this virus BashirAhmaad GarShehu

OMG, about damn time.

Y'all research the number of deaths before Obama did anything about H1N1.

Is he only mandating GM to do this? Why not every company that could possibly produce any required supplies that are in demand?

Ok. Maybe now IMPOTUS45 is actually taking this “hoax” seriously. Get to work!

Why the delay?

Finally. What an incompetent goof.

They were already doing it. Publicity grab!!

So he wants to win Michigan in november......

great we should get those out by may👎😷😤

Imagine if you did this fucking weeks ago
