COINCIDENCE? Ford Cancels U.S. Plant Move To Mexico After Trump Declares . . . (truncated)
U.S. Herald ^ | February 17, 2016 | Bob Amoroso

Can it be that “The Donald” is already affecting American policy, without even yet being the Republican nominee?

It sure looks that way, or perhaps it’s just coincidence. However more likely than not, Trump’s constant bashing of Ford moving to Mexico, has apparently been making ripples both within the news media and perhaps among the voting public.

How dare Trump use his millions of supporters to bully the freedom of an American business.

I am hoping that this is just the kind of action that his statements can cause. Carrier next?

Ford has all the freedom they need to move to Mexico. Nothing is stopping them.

Hope this is correct, but the story is two days old and you’d think it would be pretty big news. Haven’t heard it elsewhere.

Sure it had its affect. But the unions will still support Lady Mao.

I’ve already predicted that Carrier will back off on their move to Mexico as a result of shareholder pressure that will occur as a result of Trump’s commenting about them.

He’s already said he won’t buy any more Carrier a/c units for his projects which brings great applause from the audience.

Whatever you do, do NOT go to the website at the link. So much adware and pop ups nearly crashed my computer.

Sounds like a Ford problem. Fed government need not be involved in supplying customers to Ford, or supplying anything to Ford for that matter.

WOW!
this is a MAJOR story. That “run-away” factory was BIG, was gonna assemble 500,000 cars each year.

I’m neither a Trump campaigner nor an anti-all-trade person...... BUT we have a jobs depression in USA and now is certainly NOT a good time to be “exporting” massive numbers of additional jobs! Let’s give our American workers a chance for awhile?

Bogus story

as far as I can tell. Looks to be a website trying to generate ad traffic.

Well, two days ago I vowed that the two Fords my wife and I now drive will be the last, EVER! Now this pops up. If this announcement turns out to be TRUE, and not a perverted hoax, I will certainly reconsider. But one thing is for sure. I’m not buying or driving some POS junker made in Mexico.
