Ford Says MKC Plant Was Never Moving To Mexico As Trump Said
 President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday evening tweeted that Ford Motor Co. would keep a Lincoln plant in Kentucky, and not move it to Mexico. But the automaker never intended to shutter its Louisville Assembly Plant, though it had planned to send production of the Lincoln MKC to Mexico by the end of 2019.
Ford said late 


Thursday that Chairman Bill Ford did tell Trump the Dearborn automaker would keep Lincoln MKC production in Kentucky.

Strangely, now when I hear someone say "Trump said...", I receive that as though they had said "I read in the National Enquirer..." :-(

Spies, please fix the headline. Ford states:

“We are happy to announce today that we are keeping the Lincoln MKC in Louisville Assembly Plant,” the statement said. “As you may have seen, our president-elect tweeted about this on Thursday evening after Bill Ford spoke with him and let him know of the change in plans. We want to confirm this change with you directly today.”

I'm a registered INDEPENDENT and sick of the blatant lies about Trump.

Read it again, all of it...Ford is still moving its small car production to Posoti Mexico as they said this summer...and direct quote "The initial Trump tweet said a Lincoln plant was staying in Kentucky. However, the automaker never intended to shutter Louisville Assembly, though it had planned to send production of the MKC to Mexico by the end of 2019.

Ford last year indicated moving the MKC out of Louisville was not expected to lead to any job losses."

Ok please have someone read it to you. They were not shutting that plant down, can you not comprehend English? Ford had no plans to shut down this plant nor reduce jobs.

Directly from the article:

>>>>>

“It is all about the spin, so everyone wins!” said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting with LMC Automotive.

Schuster said Trump can claim he saved a vehicle with production of about 40,000 vehicles a year from going to Mexico and preserved jobs, while Ford likely will continue with its plan for a new plant in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, that will produce more than 300,000 vehicles a year.

<<<<

A HUGE win for Trump (yay, 40K MKC units stay in Louisville), a BIGGER LOSS for the same people he claims to protect (a new plant in Mexico will quietly proceed).

This is exactly how big money plays to politicians. Let them bask in the limelight taking credits for small wins and get their bases excited so that they feel happy and forgive everything.

Not too different from a bribe don't you think ?

HenryN, your dry tampon queen lost. You need to accept that the rainbow-spitting-unicorn you hoped for just did a CRTL + ALT + FU on your butt. Your flailing is pathetic.

tsk tsk!! can't resist to get back to your normal self, can you MD? Carry a civilized conversation then you'll get a civilized reply. Keep doing this and you will get your balled kicked into your brain like you always do.

It must hurt when you have to take a side between Ford, your bread winner, and your idol Trump. Problem is, neither of them would care much about the guys in the middle like you. Keeping your butt up because you guys will get screwed over again and again.

Your subconscious seems to like the idea of getting screwed in the butt since you keep referring to it. Hey, San Francisco gay community is looking for fresh meat, why don't you move up there to join them?

No matter who you voted for, the point is that the president elect is taking credit for something he had absolutely nothing to do with, making it about himself rather than the jobs and is bending the truth.
