US deaths above 50,000, Ivanka Trump says 'enough ventilators to lend' and praises dad

Ivanka Trump praised her father and President of the United States of America Donald Trump and claimed that he is leading the fight against coronavirus, and has done so by mounting the largest industrialisation since World War 2. Accordingly, she said that the US has enough ventilators to lend to other countries. This comes even as the US death toll from Covid touched 50,000, accounting for one out of every four deaths globally.

Ivanka's claims of largest mobilisation since World War 2 are also rather single-eyed, seeing as many of the companies have participated willingly, and Trump actually had to compel GM to make ventilators, with the results still unclear. Contrast this with the Vietnam War, when bathtub maker Jacuzzi had helped the US make boats for meandering the nation's waters.
