Ford CEO: Main reason for canceling Mexico plant was [lack of] market demand, not Trump

"The bottom line is we're not seeing the volume and the demand that we expected for that plant. And, therefore, we're looking at our capacity and saying, 'You know what, we can build that in an existing facility and use capacity that we already have,'" he said.

"Over the last couple of years we've seen small cars markedly decline. Every year we're looking at our capacity. We're looking at our forecast for demand. It became very clear that we didn't need this plant."

Ford isn't expecting to have great sales, and has therefore cancelled its plans to open a new manufacturing plant.

But I guess for conservatives:
American company making less sales than expected = "All Praise to God-Emperor Trump the miracle worker!"

Trump is to be praised both when the economy is bad and when the economy is good I guess, and before he gets into office at that.

Yes and he also said:

Fields also pointed out that the company could do well with a more positive U.S. manufacturing business environment under Trump. "We see the pro-growth policies that he's proposing. So, this is a vote of confidence in what we think the president-elect is going to pursue and it's right for our business," he said.

I'm shocked that Dimbulb would selectively quote only the parts of the article that fit his agenda. No, really.

of course. It only incentivizes them to come to Murika to get the jobs. Trump is encouraging illegals!!!

No, I think Starlight would be horrified to find himself living in America.

I think it is sour grapes. That's my story and I am sticking to it!

Glenn Beck has recently redefined what it means to "go off the deep end", but he said something many years ago that I still agree with: the reason people hate America is the same reason people hate the New York Yankees, because we just keep winning.

In the meantime though, he appoints yet another GS associate to head the SEC

Good news, I guess, is that the stock market might not collapse just yet so wallstreet will continue to bask in insane wealth, that things will continue as they have, including insane criminal activity, with undoubtedly much more federal reserve stimulus on the way.
