I'm not a fan of Trump but I don't think this is a bad idea, especially given the taxpayer $ bailouts the government has given them. Most bailouts/incentives have some pretty stringent strings attached, or at least they should, so I don't think this is too much to ask given the emergency, dire need and how this company has been bailed out with taxpayer dollars in the past.
Let's see under Bush the government took ownership of banks and car manufacturers
Under Trump it's taking ownership of airlines and ordering car manufacturers what to build

They’re not even going to have the ability to produce them for at least a month. You can’t just switch from cars to ventilators without major engineering considerations.
