The Trump Presidency : Year IV
Would this have happened under a Trump administration ?

https://www.breitbart.com/poli...from-ohio-to-mexico/

The Ford Motor Company, a multinational automaker, is reportedly planning to move a $900 million investment originally intended for an Avon Lake, Ohio plant to a site in Mexico, the United Auto Workers (UAW) union alleges.

In a letter to Ohio Assembly Plant (OHAP) employees in Avon Lake, where Ford employs about 1,740 workers manufacturing its F-650 and F-750 medium duty trucks, UAW official Gerald Kariem said Ford had committed to investing $900 million in the project in 2019.

The massive investment, Kariem wrote to workers, included a Ford commitment to bring a “next-generation product” to the Ohio Assembly Plant for production by 2023 and an “exciting vision for the complete revitalization” of the plant to secure “employment well into the foreseeable future.”

“These contractual commitments were an enormous win for the UAW, for the great state of Ohio, the community of Avon Lake, and most importantly the members of Local 2000,” Kariem wrote.

Now, though, the UAW official says Ford executives are backing out of the deal and plan to move the investment to Mexico

of Ford’s 36 assembly plants, just eight of them are in the U.S.

28 of the automaker’s assembly 36 assembly plants are in countries like China, Mexico, Germany, India, Brazil, and Vietnam. China, alone, has seven Ford assembly plants.

^^^ Although I agree, the incentives under the Trump administration made companies want to keep business here. Under (puppet) biden, there is no incentive. I don't entirely blame the company.

as unpatriotic as it seems for them to leave, it is a rational choice. this is exactly the difference between Trump, a businessman, and Pres BS who is a politician, all about taxing the rich

Tax away at your own peril, as it will kill the economy. taxes will be paid by the consumer in the end. Inflation will be a bitch

Indeed. Ford sees what's coming.

Additional companies will follow in Ford's steps.

Question is, will the media report it?

Actually more likely is, will the media blame Trump?

I don’t blame Ford and would be doing the same if it were my company. Elections have consequences!! We have the most anti-American administration led by the most corrupt politician to ever reside in the White House. These idiots have no idea why the policies they vote for hurt them the most.

The left promised higher taxes, removal of all incentives from Trump, closed pipeline, Job loss report today was 770K, over 70K more then predicted. They are raising corporate tax rates, eliminating tax breaks, I'd move my plants out immediately if the breaks I was promised led me to make deals with a Union that i'd have never made.

At this point Ford, and any company based in the US should never trust any government deals, because they can be yanked right out from under your nose...

At least in Mexico you know you have to grease palms, make payments, payoff officials and it's always the same...

Here, you get bent over by everyone.

Would this be the same UAW that supported Biden in the Presidential election? Looks like they're getting what they asked for, so I fail to see what they're bitching about. I certainly have no sympathy.

Union heads always have and always will back the Democrats. The only difference is the rank and file don't vote that way anymore. But that no longer matters because fraudulent votes have replaced their votes.

The Dems in Congress are coordinating with Twitter to expel Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) from Georgia. They are coordinating and working fully in the open now - no attempt to hide or obscure their agenda.

I would say any patriot still with a active Twitter or Face Book account is aiding and abetting these anti-American media sites. The only reason they wield so much power is the millions and millions of people who are either addicted or justify keeping it because their every thought is so important it must be posted in order to reach as many people as possible! It's the same as every single vote matters right? Well every single account with these assholes matter to them.

I thank God everyday for giving me the wisdom from the very start to never sign on to any of these cess pools.

Is this the same ‘inciting violence’ that they tried to pin on President Trump only to have it fall flat?

Perhaps the dems need a lesson in what a real riot is

I have a Facebook account. Mostly I use it for posting memes and comments on the corrupt Dems. I just posted two of the images above, about congressman Marjorie Greene.
