That was Trump’s point. This is what he would have done to stop it. He also says he will bring manufacturing back to the U.S..
To: z taxman
Trump’s 35% tax would be if Ford kept the manufacturing and the jobs in Mexico, not if they had the manufacturing and jobs in the U.S..

FWIW how does a pickup made mostly in Mexico and Canada have a list price of over $55,000?

and rent is too damn high!

Pickup and SUVs have to have high profit margins to make up for high mpg small cars that earn no or little profit.

The rule of thumb is it takes 30 man hours of labor to build a car in a modern factory. So using slaves/robots can only save so much of the retail price per vehicle.

Ford’s Fusion is built in Mexico for the US market, or at least it was until this year.

Hell I would sell my land if they wanted to build right on my property. I guess you never see what goes on in less populated rural areas. Kids grow up and the smart ones go away to college, never to return. The less gifted have very little to do. Most leave. Some actual eek out a living. A lot turn to drugs and welfare. The bottom line is you never see you kids as adults and grand children are just photographs. Then we call the younger generation lazy on top of it. Sad.
So factories may be ugly but they are the wealth creation engines that hold communities to together. So not everyone is as myopic as some gloBULLists.

What’s stopping you from building one on your back yard?

Can you loan me 10 million?

Had a 2000 Focus, European specs, when I lived in Spain. Damn thing was a rocket ship and held the road better the faster I went ... and I routinely drove 100 mph plus on the highways.
Sure wish I could have brought it back here.

Lower ATM fees.
That and Student Loan Forgiveness WILL elect the next Democrat POTUS

I rented more than a few of them from Hertz. Loved ‘em. The 2015 has been “softened up,” sad to say. (Although I drive on Michigan roads, so I shouldn’t complain very much).

Donald Trump Wants [sic] Americans to Pay a 35% Tax on New Cars For the VERY SHORT ATTENTION SPAN idiot journalist - he said he'd charge a 35% tax on new cars built at the proposed plant in MEXICO, because Ford is building it there, rather than Tennessee.

Could you repay it if I could?

Do you have 10 Million to invest? Come on down and we will discuss it. I am sure we could think of something.

I wouldn't call Trump a RINO either, but he does have his own agenda. As long as a large part of that overlaps with mine, I'd welcome him in the debates and maybe we can get onto substantial issues and meanigful (non-gobbledegook) answers.
I'd rather have a firm, definitive answer I don't agree with at all than one I don't understand or is ambivalent.

Love him or hate him , he will say things that many think but in this era of just get the vote won’t ever utter.
His positions will be normal negotiations. Toughest as the starter, and then work the real deal...
One thing for sure he won’t be $$$$ beholden to anyone.

Well stated. The exact opposite of O.....
