How dare does Levin have the audacity to tell people that Ford is moving production of the Focus from Wayne Assembly in order to make way for the production of the new Ranger?

If, before the election, Ford announces they’ve decided not to move to Mexico...y’all will have nailed it. Trump could very well be working on Ford right now.

What a coup(e).

It looks like LEVIN is part of the GOP-e. All talk and no walk. He’s a disappointment.

Ford CEO is an A-Hole.


This is the first time the Ford CEO publicly commented so obviously Trump’s attacks hit the mark.

Union extortion has had its day. Companies like Ford are finally being taxed, waged and regulated OUT OF AMERICA. The stage is set. Time will tell.


No, I think the corportists would leave the US anyway if they could make 5 cents more profit building a plant in Me-he-co. The Ford CEO was asked directly on TV if Ford was a US company and he REFUSED to say it was. These corporate bean counters no longer have an ounce of patriotism in them. It’s globalism all the way.

Mark Levin says that nobody is losing their jobs over this because they are going to be building other things there. For how long I ask. For how long?

His hatred for Trump blinds hm to the realization that it cold have meant 2800 additional jobs for Americans out of work. He has lost his friggin mind!


Levin is being willfully dishonest. Like always. Who is building that plant in Mexico? Americans? Obviously not. So American jobs ARE being lost by Ford building this plant in Mexico.

Actually, Ford’s CEO (figuratively) gave Trump the middle finger a few months ago, over his threat to tax F-150’s built in Mexico 35%.

Yea, I know. I was on the way home later than normal and he was coming on. It took me a millisecond to switch to some music channel when I heard that. What stupid short sighted logic.

It certainly makes you think. Either that or they foolishly thought that announcing now would somehow get them a pass if Trump wins. But I`m more inclined to suspect the former. These are generally not stupid people. Anyone with the ability to see two moves ahead would have been able to see that this announcement would help Trump.

As a retired member of Ford Management I am ashamed of this recent announcement.

Keep all ford jobs here - not in Mexico. The profit margins are small on small cars and big on pickups and other large vehicles. Has Ford forgotten that even a small margin vehicle contributes to fixed costs.

I know the Fusion in my garage is built in Mexico. The vehicle that replaces it next year won’t be built outside of the USA.

When President Trump imposses a 35% tariff next year on imports Ford will lose not gain.

I pray that Ford Management will reverse this move decision.

The Trump quote that will rocket to the top of all-time greats:

It used to be that cars were built in Flint and you couldn't drink the water in Mexico. Now cars are built in Mexico and you can't drink the water in Flint.

But the union isn’t “in” the voting booth. And the union member voting for Trump can come out and say he voted for Hillary.

I recognize a CEO’s responsibility.

I wish I was a CEO if I had the talent and political skills.

My point is he’s trying to defend the decision as no one lost a job while he created 1000’s of new jobs in Mexico which also hurts our GVDP.

I think the Ford move is driven by a whole lot more than a desire to avoid paying wages.
