Remember How Trump Threatened Ford? Well Look at the HUGE Announcement They Just Made
Conservative Tribune ^ | 03/24/2006 | NA

When the Ford Motor Co. decided to move jobs south to Mexico so that it could pay its workers less, billionaire businessman Donald Trump was furious. He made trade inequalities and Ford’s betrayal of American workers a central issue of his campaign.

And, without his even being in the Oval Office, it worked.

In an interview with CNBC, Ford CEO Mark Fields said that the automaker would be “here to stay.” He also said he had outlined his company’s plans in a letter to Trump.

Dan Coats tried pleading with Carrier, but they flat out say their mind is made up. They’re outta here.

“While he didn’t offer specifics about whether Ford would be rolling back it’s $2.5 billion expansion of the company’s operations in Mexico, it was clear that Fields was committed to addressing Trump’s complaints directly.”

So, nothing really changed except that they wrote Trump a letter.

So you think it’s good for the President to be making the decisions on how to run a company like Ford?

This is not 1980, when the country was still much more conservative.

And there’s no Iran crisis to give a 20 point lift.

I support Trump over Ted.

The fact is he is down anywhere from 6 to 18 points in the polls against Hillary.

Because the media is much worse than 1980, when gay marriage and transgenderism and other insanity were still taboo and the generations since are pathetic, in the majority.

And Sanders does even better against him.

20 plus million vote in the republican primaries.

the generals are 100 plus million and someone better dig up a strategy to fight the media.

I am frankly disgusted with the whole country, voting for Obama twice and leaving Hillary even in contention, no less giving sanders a lead.

leaves me lost

And when Trump is in the WH, Ford will likely bring their current Mexico production back to the USA.

Uh, read the link. The Ford CEO said we are here to stay but no specifics regarding US jobs. Of course reading the link was very un FR of me.

It's not about "running the company", it's about saving American JOBS, "Brilliant".

That’s not really an announcement of anything. Nobody tied to Ford ever said they were leaving America, they were just expanding non-American facilities. Which they’re still doing.

Time for some truth...if Trump didn’t get in

I’d say we’d be getting ready to hold our noses for Jeb

getting ready for unconditional amnesty

and watching jobs like this being shipped overseas
