The German Army rode into the Battle of the Bulge on FORD TRUCKS.....

Is it time for Trump's supporters to boycott the purchase of their low quality vehicles?

They need to be heavily taxed if they come into the U.S.

Won’t need to boycott them. If they want to pay the import tax it’s up to them. They have to figure out a way to remain competitive

That’s fine if they want to sell cars in Mexico.

Boycotting unnecessary.

Extra taxes will stifle such behavior, and put more money in the government coffers while the behavior continues.

So it’s short term corporate gain by locating plants outside the U.S. (with whatever quality that happens to go with them) and long term American loss, or long-term corporate gain by locating plants domestically and long-term American gain from extra jobs, pay, and the relatively lower tax rate but more taxpayers.

I wonder if that was the deal they made with Trump, they build engines and parts there, but assemble them here?

A fake news story trying to undermine TRUMP.

They even admit it in the first paragraph:

“...despite an announcement last month that it had scrapped plans for a plant in the central state of San Luis Potosi.”

Trump didn’t say NO FORD PLANTS were in Mexico.

Apple is working on getting into the car manufacturing business. They have the free cash to make it happen but they don’t have the character to make it happen.

American wildcat conservatives across the country have the know-how and character to make it happen but they lack the cash. That can be solved.

NEVER FORGET that, Ford, Rockefeller, Carnegie, KENNEDY and many more were Close Friends and Financially Supported Adolf Hitler right up until he attacked Mother Russia.

Look at the VIN. If the first number is a three then it was Hecho En Mexico.

Would you like to know where your vehicle was made? Here are some of the most common country codes. You’ll find these letters or numbers in the first position of the VIN:

    U.S.: 1, 4 or 5
    Canada: 2
    Mexico: 3
    Japan: J
    Korea: K
    England: S
    Germany W

From the article, "US car maker Ford is sticking with a plan to open two auto-parts plants in Mexico this year, despite earlier announcing it had scrapped plans for a separate factory there. Ford without warning last month canceled plans to build a $1.6 billion project in San Luis Potosi, an auto-making area in central Mexico."

This is more MSM spin to get us to do exactly what some are doing, which is to ignore Trump's success in keeping jobs here.

I'm not taking the bait, and in spite of Ford's missteps, American made Fords are still on my list the next time I'm ready to buy.
