Trump keeps saying Obama left him 'no ventilators.' The number is 16,660.

“We had a ventilator problem that was caused by the fact that we weren’t left ventilators by a previous administration. The cupboards were bare, as I say often.”
— President Trump, remarks at the White House, April 30, 2020

“You know, if you remember where we started, we had no ventilators.”
— Trump, remarks at the White House, May 15

“He took a ventilator job where the country basically had no ventilators.”
— Trump, remarks at the White House, May 18

“We had none, essentially. We had very few, and they were obsolete. They were broken.”
— Trump, remarks at the White House, May 19

“When we came here, you had very few ventilators in this country. … The cupboard was empty, and we filled up the cupboards.”
— Trump, remarks at the White House, June 18
