I have been convinced for weeks Trump was talking about fans. Now it suddenly all makes a lot more sense...

To be fair, he kept calling them "generators" at one point.
I wouldn't expect to find much sense in what he says.

You are talking about a device that is essentially inflating and deflating your lungs directly...I'd rather leave that to professionals.

The tricky part isn't the mechanics of it, it's regulating the composition of air you're delivering and also making sure that air remains as clean as possible. Hypothetically, you could just plug a set of bellows into a breathing tube, shove that down your throat, and use that as a ventilator, but you'd risk mold growth and dust accumulation in the air you're pumping in there, and you'd be limited to the 20-22% oxygen found in regular air. Shove a filter in the intake and run the breathing tube through a strong UV light, and maybe you'd be getting somewhere.

I would assume it requires fairly precise control over how much air you are pushing into someone's lungs.

Eh, as long as you limit the bellows to blowing ~1L of air (average tidal volume for a healthy adult is half that, but there's quite a bit of extra inflation room beyond that), you're probably fine. Heck, if you make the person pump it themselves to save on manpower costs, you don't even need that, since they can just stop blowing when they feel full enough. It's fiiiiiiine*.

*Disclaimer: it's not actually fine please never do this and if you do I'm not responsible for what happens

An iron lung is a totally different kind of machine than a ventilator. The body is encased in a large chamber with the head sticking out. The pressure is lowered in the chamber, which causes the lungs to expand. By repeatedly increasing then decreasing the pressure, the patient is made to breathe.

That's also an option. Just duct tape yourself into one of those big vacuum storage bags with a couple hula hoops around you and stick the vacuum cleaner nozzle onto its valve in time with your desired breathing rate. It's basically the same thing.
