Anybody who believes Ford did this because of Trump is an idiot. This decision would have been made long ago.

In politics, reality is irrelevant. Perception is the only thing that matters, and Trump will have created the perception that he caused this.

You of course have facts to back up your statement, right?

Of course he didn't cause it but he is the only one that directly spoke of it Before it happened.

He will make that point and there isn't anything any other candidate can say.

LOL. The TDS burns.

Of course Ford was thinking about it. But let’s face facts: they decided based on several factors, and not wanting to be a political punching bag was certainly one of them.

Interesting....for all the Trump haters and deniers: Notice, Ford isn’t saying it was decided long ago, or that it has nothing to do with Trump.

Why? Because they see which way the tide is going and they’re going to stay on Trump’good side as much as possible.

Just good business sense.

Sure, sure keep telling yourself and you might start believing your ignorant drivel. He spotlighted that plant in Mexico and watch Trump stop them from building it before he is President.

Pray America is waking

I believe Trump and the CEO of Ford are friends so its not a stretch to believe that Trump had some inside info and slipped it into a speech. If so it was brilliant timing.

Nice try. The opposite is true, unless you're so dense you can't understand how bad the Trump exposure of Ford's plan made them look.

But maybe you're right. No one really cares about manufacturing leaving the country.< /sarcasm >

Your ignorance is showing through your snarky hatred.

Since this is part of an ongoing negotiation with the UAW, it was most likely a card that Ford was holding back. They would not have put this on the table because the wouldn't want to show their hand.

The decision to put it on the table would have coincided with Ford's decision to announce it to the public and the UAW.

In other words, the decision was made yesterday or today.

You are correct in that plants are planned over long periods of time.

But negotiations are real time.

I think John Kasich will take a bow on this one. Spike the football, etc.
