GM and "P"

Earlier today GM announced that they will build ventilators in their Kokomo plant. They are already getting the line set up and labor force in place.

Then later in the day the orange menace uses the “P” to force GM to do so.

Will people fall for his shit?

President Donald Trump Friday afternoon announced he has invoked the Defense Production Act to require GM to produce vitally-needed life-saving ventilators. But it’s not the first time has and his administration have claimed the DPA was being used to require the production of critical equipment, nor is it being used as it should be.

In announcing he had finally invoked it, to force GM to make ventilators they already have announced they will produce, Trump immediately backtracked, nonsensically saying he might not need to fully use the law.
