Can Donald Trump Really Block Ford Motor Company From Expanding Into Mexico?
BIDNESS ETC ^ | Jun 20, 2015 at 9:28 am EST | By: George Zack

Posted on 06/20/2015 7:03:02 AM PDT by Cringing Negativism Network

American business magnate, Donald Trump said in his announcement to run for President on Tuesday, that he will levy punitive taxes on America’s second largest automaker, Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) if the company continues with its $2.5 billion expansion plans in Mexico, which he said will cause thousands to lose their jobs in the US.

Referring to “Ford’s head” – likely the company CEO Mark Fields – as someone he knows, Mr. Trump said he will call him to share the “bad news”.

They’re not American owned companies.

I don’t recall Trump calling out General Motors for spending a billion bailout dollars in Mexico a few years ago.

I agree.

I don’t know yet, what it will mean, but it’s definately here.

I’ll bail from the GOP in a split second if Trump splits out at some point in this race, though I know a lot of people feel this party is their place. Period. End of discussion.

We shall see. There’s still another six months until things start to get critical.

Apparently you didn’t hear his speech. Further, Trump was explaining a concept with an example and merely used Ford as an example.

THAT’S why you’re a one trick pony.

Just saying.

Apparently this is not a joke.

No, but Trump is.

I don’t know about the “assault weapons ban” point.

Yes you do. You know all about it. You've just chosen to ignore it.

I will repeat.

15 years ago, Donald Trump did state he was for restrictions on some “assault weapons”.

Granted. I am handing you that. What I am saying is he seems strong on the second amendment now.

What I am saying is if someone has more recent information of Donald Trump on the issue of gun control which raises additional warning flags, please send them this way.

I didn’t see that in your post. I am still waiting.

If you have to lie to yourself and to others to defend your lame, liberal candidate, he can't be much of a candidate.

Show me where he ever said "some" assault weapons. He didn't and you know it.

You get more pathetic every day.

Companies are free to do what they want. But what we, as a country, must do is have FAIR TRADE with every country.

How is it a fair trade when we have huge trade deficits with almost all major trading partners? The professional politicians have sold us down the river. They have voted on trade deals after trade deals.

How many Mexico factories have moved to USA?
I will show you 10 US factories which have moved to Mexico for every 1 you can show me. Is there any better proof of how inept the professional politicians are for making trade deals?

Trump by himself has done more successful trades with foreigners than ALL THE DC politicians COMBINED. Reality is a beyotch for Trump haters. Trump is now 4th on my list in primaries, based on what he is saying.

Look I was saying he said what he said, 15 years ago.

You may be right on what he said, I don’t know. What I am saying is he seems strongly for the 2nd Amendment now.

If you can find something more recent than 15 years ago, please send it to me.

Otherwise I am through talking about this with you, right now.

Put up or shut up, please.

You may be right on what he said, I don’t know.

But you do know and you are LYING again when you say you don't. I have provided you with the verbatim quote in the past. Here it is again, since you seem confused. Note nowhere in the quote does the word "some" exist.

The Republicans walk the NRA line and refuse even limited restrictions. I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I also support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun.

Donald Trump said he supports the ban in assault weapons. Deny it all you want but you only make yourself look foolish. And when you say you don't know he does, you are a liar.

For crying out loud.

You’re impossible.

I say I don’t know (I don’t, because I haven’t stressed about something he said 15 years ago) and asked you to provide something more current.

Provide something more current.

You have just made my point. Trump said he supports the assault weapons ban; we have that in his own words.

Provide something more current wherein he says he does not. Understand, just because he said recently that he is 100% pro-Second Amendment means squat. He said that back when he said he supported the ban. Actually, he said he "generally opposes gun control".

So provide something more current and I'll consider it. Until and unless you do, you have nothing but your opinion that he does not. I have the man's own words that he does, words that you continue to lamely deny.

Ok then.

Let’s agree on this.

We have concerns about what he said 15 years ago. However I am comfortable with him, because he is now strongly for the 2nd Amendment, and I haven’t heard him repeat what he said about banning them, more recently than 15 years ago.

You are not comfortable because 15 years ago he said things about the assault weapons which you strongly believe mean he supports a ban on those.

Neither of us has more current information, at the moment.

So as it stands now, we are not equally concerned. You are, I am not so much.

How’s that?

I would word it quite differently.

The man has was fooled into supporting the myth of the "assault weapon". Remember, there is no such thing; it is a creation of the left so they could ban guns based on cosmetic appearances. My 12 gauge does not currently meet their lame definition of "assault weapon". But should I put a pistol grip on it it would. Your boy was so lame he fell for that, supported the ban and to date has never renounced said support. He also said he supports longer waiting periods which is incredibly lame also as waiting periods have never kept a criminal from getting a gun. They have, however, kept battered women from obtaining a gun for defense before their abusive husbands ultimately killed them.

If I were to be given the opportunity to ask your liberal candidate one question it would be this: In your book "The America We Deserve" you said you supported the Democrats' "assault weapons" ban. Do you still believe there is such a thing as an "assault weapon" and do you still support such a ban? I would hope somewhere along the course of this campaign someone asks him about it. After all, he is pretending to be a conservative so it is a valid question.

I completely agree with you.

I also hope someone asks him about that.

OK for now.
