Ford Motor CEO Says Trump Is Lying AGAIN! Company Is NOT Moving U.S. Operations To Mexico

[HipChick]

Earlier this week, as part of an interview he gave to Fox News, Donald Trump announced he had just learned that Ford Motor Company was about to “fire all their employees in the United States and…move to Mexico.” Trump went on to add that when he becomes President, Ford would have to pay a 35 percent tax on any car they send back to the United States for sale.

Wow! That’s big news! It’s also, like 99.9 percent of what Donald Trump says, a gigantic lie, according to Ford CEO Mark Fields, who told CNN:

“It’s really unfortunate when politics get in the way of the facts.”

CNN host Poppy Harlow then asked Fields, would Ford cut any American jobs as part of its plans to build a new manufacturing plant in Mexico? To that, Fields replied:

“Absolutely not. Zero. Not one job will be lost. Most of our investment is here in the US. And that’s the way it will continue to be.”

1. Uhhmmm...

Who's a bigger liar, mega-corporation or Donald Trump? That's a real toss up. Although I would have to doubt that Ford would move lock stock and barrel to Mexico, that sounds like typical Trumpian exaggeration.

2. Ford is publicly traded so their books are accessible

Fords claims can easily be checked. Trump, on the other hand, all talk, never evidence.

3. "Well that's because he's a stupid loser!"

"See, OK, I don't own any vehicles made by Ford Motor Company because they build in Mexico, OK? That's the country that I want to build a giant wall around. Only the best cars are manufactured in America. If we want to make America great again, we should only be buying American and building American. Wait, what? Most car parts come from Mexico and China? Shit!"

4. Along with my clothing line

[sorefeet]

5. Ford has been in Mexico for many

years, as well as lots of other countries too.

[doc03]

8. My Ford Fusion was assembled in Mexico (great car) also many Chevy Silverados

the second best selling truck are assembled there.

[doc03]

6. I heard about Ford moving all their small car production to Mexico

last week and had no idea that was started by Trump. Mitt Romney did that same stunt in Toledo last
election saying Jeep was moving to Mexico these Republicans never let truth get in their way.

9. small cars are low margin, trucks and SUV's are higher margin.

The high margin vehicles like trucks will stay in the US as far as I know.

[doc03]

10. Many Chevy Silvarado pickups are already made in Mexico

that is the full size Chevy truck.

14. GM moving to Mexico was the inspiration for "Roger And Me."

[doc03]

15. yep n/t

7. 35% Trump tax on foreign vehicles ==> Run with the headline

35% Trump tax on foreign vehicles

Don said it first

11. FORD operated in Germany during WWII

Did US/German corporate business in neutral Switzerland.

[Taitertots]

12. Ford was an open anti-Semite and public supporter of Hitler (before the war)

I've been in the sex worker/illegal alcohol tunnels he had built into his house.

Henry Ford was an absolute piece of shit.

[rickford66]

13. I guess Trump should have mixed feelings about this development then.

[doc03]

16. Henry Ford has been dead for decades and besides that it is a public traded company today

not a family business. The Kennedys made their money boat-legging whiskey
during prohibition you going to hold that against them today. I assume maybe you are a
GM fan.

[Taitertots]

17. Look at the context. We're talking about WWII era FMC.

I don't hold it against the Kennedys today, but I don't ignore the past.

[doc03]

18. What on earth does what Henry Ford did 70 or 80 years ago have to do with the Ford

company in 2016? In those days Henry Ford owned the company, today it is a publicly traded company.
Donald Trump made the claim Ford was moving all its small car production to Mexico and the CEO of Ford
said it wasn't so. Why would you attack the Ford company for denying a false claim made by that psychopath
Trump?
