A nothing constructive, biased, anti-Trump, incomplete comparison of past administrations, leading viewer to believe total failure is at hand and calling for him to resign....
And I am disgusted with his pettiness, yet loathe this type of negativity with no positive direction.

Last week: Trump said he invoked the DPA, minutes later he said he didn't invoke it
Two days ago: Trump said he didn't need the DPA
Yesterday: He said we may have too many ventilators
Today:
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
· 1h
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!!!!!! @GeneralMotors @Ford
If you were a company leader, responsible to your shareholders, how would you interpret this?
The reason we have the DPA is not to be able to force companies to do something against their will and foolishly, but to assure them that they will be compensated so that they willingly use their resources to accomplish the goal.

You trying to put lipstick on a pig? The DPA does enable the government to force companies to produce designated products. And it does guarantee compensation. I don't think the company's "will" is taken into consideration, nor needs to be. Obviously, the company needs to be capable of doing it. Can't, practically, force a dairy farm to produce ventilators.
GM and Ford offered to make ventilators. |

How come GM got ridiculed and Ford got off scott free? Isn’t the government supposed to treat everyone equally? Those GM workers in Ohio must be raring to go after Trumps pep tweets.
