Somehow I doubt the Trump supporters will laud this as much as they retweeted this tweet earlier this year:
Ford said last week that it will expand in Michigan and U.S. instead of building a BILLION dollar plant in Mexico. Thank you Ford & Fiat C!

Let’s look in on how the plans for that car manufacturing plant are doing:
Ford Motor Co. is moving production of its Focus model to China after production at its Michigan plant ends in 2019.
Oh. Well. They’re our friends now because they were so great in helping stop North Korea.. oh wait. Dammit.
The move, which Ford estimates will save it $500 million in production costs for the car, comes as the company has become a target of President Trump, who is pressuring manufacturers to keep jobs in the United States.
Ford initially planned to move production of the Focus to Mexico, but it is now scrapping that plan in favor of production in China, according to a report in Bloomberg.
Ahhhh.. that’s awkward.
So… what did Trump get for whatever concessions he might made to China and the Ford company? Oh heck who cares. #MAGA!!!
