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

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.

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
