Yes, I believe I had read something about a transmission plant too. This would then be a third issue.

The third issue, the one I’m linking you too is the one Trump has been addressing. It was a plan to move Ford production to Mexico. Here’s a link to a report of it.

No. Wrong. This plan was announced on July 9, 2015. Trump started talking about Ford in his campaign announcement speech in June. He could not have been talking about the move that was announced in July. And, in fact, this is what he said:

"Now, Ford announces a few weeks ago that Ford is going to build a $2.5 billion car and truck and parts manufacturing plant in Mexico. $2.5 billion, it’s going to be one of the largest in the world."

The $2.5 billion plant he was talking about was the one (two, actually) that Ford had already announced. The transmission plants. Not the production lines that they decided to move a month later, in July.

(by the way, doesn't the fact that Ford announced plans to move additional product lines to Mexico AFTER Trump was already criticizing Ford suggest that maybe Ford isn't so intimidated by Trump's talk?)
