He’s going to share with other countries. Probably make a deal with them. Regardless, he said ‘give them to countries that need them’ - something like that.

First we bailed them out
Then they tried to overcharge POTUS on ventilators
Then he had to order them to do this.

Remember the financial crash of 2008. Yeah, the one that Obama used to steal GM from the stock and bond holders and give the corporation to the union. Yeah, that one. The American taxpayer took it in the shorts when that deal was done. Now GM has to be forced by the President to make ventilators. Ford got no help. Chrysler was given to Fiat. But GM was put on life support and now they are being forced to do today what they should have gracefully done yesterday.
GM—make the damn ventilators.

Not good advertisement for GM, but GREAT advertisement for the Defense Production Act, i.e., any other company thinking about screwing around should have second thoughts now ...

Back in the financial crisis, GM took Govt buyouts, Ford didn’t.
I bought Ford stock. Big loser. Karma is a joke!

Better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them. I can think of bigger wastes of government money.
