The company announced on Sunday, Jan. 8 that its expansion would also create 2,000 U.S jobs. Its finally happening Fiat Chrysler just announced plans to invest $1BILLION in Michigan and Ohio plants, adding 2000 jobs, Trump wrote in a tweet on Monday morning.
The president-elect also referenced Fiat and Chryslers decision to expand while speaking with reporters at Trump Tower. You just saw what happened with Fiat where theyre going to build a massive plant in the United States in Michigan. And, were very happy, he said.
Jodi Tinson, a spokeswoman for FCA told ThinkProgress, This plan was in the works back in 2015. This announcement was just final confirmation. Tinson also confirmed that neither politics nor the presidential election was at all related to the companys expansion.

If you step back and think about this for a minute or two you would easily see why calling Trump out on these types of BS claims he making about himself and his ability to do all these wonderful things even before being sworn in is just plain common sense.
I would venture to say that in all the cases Trump has touted so far, each and every one of them would be have pretty similar circunstances.
