WASHINGTON—Saying there was no way the coronavirus could win with such amazing corporations on their side, President Donald Trump kicked off his plan to tackle the medical supply shortage Tuesday by awarding ExxonMobil an exclusive contract to drill for ventilators in the arctic. “Today, the heroic crews at ExxonMobil will travel to Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, where they will drill 6,000 feet below the earth in search of new, undiscovered mechanical breathing devices,” said Trump, signing the $86 billion deal that gave the oil company sole access to survey, drill, and extract from over 30,000 square miles of “vast, untapped reservoirs of respiratory ventilators.” “While this crisis is a challenge, I want to assure the American people that there are millions of medical devices lying just below the arctic surface, and all we need is ExxonMobil’s vast network of drilling rigs to find them. That’s why we’re also announcing the construction of a long-distance ventilator pipeline, as well as an exclusive, multi-billion-dollar contract with Shell to begin extracting ventilators on Native American reservations throughout South Dakota.” At press time, President Trump had reportedly once again downplayed the need for medical supplies after one of ExxonMobil’s largest offshore tankers exploded.

CanyonDentalCen Those are our ventilators!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦

Jabba the Hutt furious at Han Solo for ditching cargo of ventilators at the first sight of imperial cruisers

Drill here, drill now!

Fake news, he actually used defense production act to force Exxonmobil to drill for ventilators to speed up the process. Sources familiar with the situation say Exxon executives stalled by telling him drilling for ventilators wasn’t something that was possible.

we are so far down in the hole that we don’t even know anymore when it’s the Onion and when it’s not 😭

This would funnier if it didn’t sound exactly like a real thing he’d do

Greatest President Ever

This is too real. It's not funny.

Even better, he gave Jerry Falwell Jr. a $2B govt contract for thoughts and prayers.

He really is that stupid. No joke there.

no don't give him ideas

Hmmm is that supposed to be funny?

Think of the jobs! All the Postal Service employees will have a job when Cheetoh pushes this idea through Congress! Wow! Happy Easter!

Is there any other items they may find on their hunt for the elusive ventilator?.

You can now expect the onion reporters to be called out for treating him...not so nice. I'm amazed the Onion hasn't gone out of business, really.

Classic trump, just doesn’t care for the environment

JudsonK17 'THERE'S VENTILATORS IN THAR SNEW!!!!!!!!'

Is Ivanka still busy with her guitar lessons? Did she learn “Smoke On The Water” riff yet?

This would be funny if it were not so close to things that fucking idiot actually says.

The Onion has turned into 'The Garlic' now.

Too close to the reality.!

PROMISES KEPT! LIBS CUCKED! JOBS DONE!

Ok I’m not the most intelligent female but how can you drill for ventilators 😳

TwinklingTania Love the onions foresight and understating of this corrupt country. When satire is actually reality...

DonaldTrumpJr 'Each Polar Bear I blast with this machine gun from the safety of a helicopter, produces one face mask!'

Thats also why he was able to focus on covid and impeachment at the same time and knew to create a task force and shut down boarders. Meanwhile the left couldnt focus on anything but the impeachment hoax. While they were dropping the ball he was picking them up as usual.

You know, I looked at this and for a second I actually believed it was reaI!

Trump has been tackling that topic for a Month. Unlike the loony left some people can do more than one thing at a time. It a difficult concept for the simple minds that exist on the left but Trump of all people can juggle many many things at once. KAG DemocratsHateAmerica

Trump : 'Wait......can we?'

Is this a prediction?

I’m predicting an onion bamboozle

SarahLeeNY

Stop, it’s not funny anymore how much this resembles reality

Hey not sure if anyone has ever made this observation before I’m pretty sure I’m the first one ever: “Wow, remember when the Onion used to be satire?!”

Sometimes I really can't tell if this is The Onion or not.
