Trump Inherited More Ventilators Than Have Been Distributed


?s=21

Two previous ways we knew Trump had inherited ventilators: 1) Journalists saw them on shelves during 2016 tours. 2) Experts could tell from the color of the boxes that ventilators being distributed during this pandemic were the ones purchased under Obama.

You know how Trump keeps saying he was left 0 ventilators? @factcheckdotorg got the first official numbers: there were 16,660 ventilators in the stockpile as of March, all left from previous administrations -- more than Trump has needed to deploy. https://www.factcheck.org/2020/06/trump-inherited-more-ventilators-than-have-been-distributed/?platform=hootsuite
