Why did he wait so long ?

I thought he already did that He moves slow.

Again he delayed this for weeks. Why

It’s sad how many people are applauding the government forcing a private company into the governments will. Communism.

WOW ! TRAITOR TRUMP USES THE DPA, AND IT'S ONLY DAY 95 OF THE DEADLIEST CRISIS THE COUNTRY HAS FACED IN 100 YEARS !! WHAT A HERO !!!

By the Grace of God, all the ventilators made go to American hospitals, in Christ Jesus. By the Grace of God, America gets godly leaders, in Christ Jesus.

You have absolutely no details in this article! Has the administration given no details? Is the president curtailing exports of the materials needed for manufacturing, or is his administration directing production? Get to work doing some journalism!

Thank god!!!!

Mmmkay now do the tests and treatment medications. We should not be held hostage by the insurance and pharmaceutical industries.

About time, asshole

k state, future home of bio defense and etc.. pending top security clearance, recently and perhaps too quickly dismissed a concerned parent's risk assessment of possible espionage by chinese national students in the computer engineering department

Why hasn’t realDonaldTrump resigned yet? No CEO would still have a job if they responded as slowly and badly as WhiteHouse has done under Trump.

4 months behind schedule. Nice!

HOW SLOW OF YOU

What's the survival rate for cases that go on ventilator? Serious question

About time.

What in hell took him so long

Trump hints at using federal programs to provide coverage after Obamacare decisionPresident Trump said he is considering using federal programs like Medicare and Medicaid to cover the rising ranks of the uninsured after his administration decided it would not reopen the Obamacare insurance markets to address the coronavirus crisis Socialist! Considering? What kind of 'now I'm going to say everything I can to keep myself in office so people don't catch on that I'M the one who put them all in harms way in the first place & yet still intend to continue to cut benefits as I planned' bullshit is this? Many low-income earners are uninsured because they don’t earn enough $ to buy healthinsurance through the AffordableCareAct /Marketplace/ Obamacare program but earn too much to qualify for even expanded Medicaid. Even $25 a year too much disqualifies.😡 Why can this happen?
