Trump invokes Defense Production Act to compel GM to manufacture respirators for coronavirus

31. Trump forced GM to comply under the Defense Production Act

because he is scared out of his mind. He stalled for weeks hoping to convince businesses to help build up medical equipment and supplies, but Trump is a weak leader and he held no sway over corporate greed where there is no room for public philanthropy.

Trump had to pull the trigger today because his failed presidency is disintegrating around him as the human death count continues to grow. His chances of reelection are fading as the cacophony of unrelenting complaints and criticism keep pointing to his incompetence and failure to act.

His usual bluster and blame tactics aren't working and the attention on his negligence in handling the corona virus is unrelenting. He's afraid and he invoked the Defense Production Act, not to help sick people, but to try to save his ass.
