Another day and another Drumpf tweet seeming to claim responsibility for something good he had no hand in.. (he doesn't mention this agreement was reached in 2015, two years before he was elected..)
Ford will invest $1.2 billion in three Michigan facilities, a move signaled overnight through a tweet from President Donald Trump — though Ford had originally planned to make the official announcement itself ahead of a Tuesday meeting with Michigan officials.
While Trump was quick to take credit for the investment, the plan is "consistent with what we announced previously," Joe Hinrichs, Ford's President of the Americas, told NBC News, noting that all three projects were in the works well before Trump took office — the largest, involving an $850 million assembly plant investment, approved as part of a deal with the United Auto Workers Union in 2015. http://www.nbcnews.com/business/autos/t ... it-n739476

A) Trump was already running for President by mid-2015 and most business people knew he'd easily win and were already planning to invest major capital and to bring jobs back, etc., to the US.
B) The article says, "...all three projects were in the works before Trump took office — the largest, involving an $850 million assembly plant investment, approved as part of a deal with the United Auto Workers Union in 2015." It doesn't say they were 100% certain that these projects would be established at that point in time. Every week there are THOUSANDS of businesses that plan new ideas/projects that NEVER see the light of day. But only now in 2017, all three are being realized...

Nice spin by the media Joe, you must have missed my post above.
Clearly the Ford executive stated in his interview that the 900 million investment was planned in 2015. Incrementally this investment has grown to 1.9 billion. He and Mark Fields both stated the pro business political environment created by the current administration were the reasons for the extra BILLION invested.
I guess adding a billion and more than doubling the overall investment is not good news. Just like the stock market record run ups.
You and your liberal loons will continue looking more and more like fools every day saying the sky is falling when clearly the things that really matter suggest the exact opposite.
Thank both of you Drumpftards for clarifying that Drumpf had nothing to do with this deal, but attempted to take credit for it with his tweet, which is what my post pointed to.....

You don't even have to defend the 850k planned and whether it would have gone through with or w/o Trump.
Ford has officially confirmed the initial plan and incrementally added over a billion more to the 2015 investment while crediting Trump and his agenda.
Just thank the loons for sharing a pro Trump story.

I would try them, but the pharmacist said some chartreuse loving Drumpftard bought the years supply he had on hand..

LMFAO, so he intended Trumpcare to fail. Good one.
According to three people who were present, Bush gave a brief assessment of Trump’s inaugural after leaving the dais: “That was some weird shit.” All three heard him say it.
I don't think there was ever any intention to repeal Obamacare. It was always a horrible compromise with the Republicans. They spent years creating political theater over it, because it helps poor people and that's a major dog-whistle, but I'm not convinced there was any sincere effort to repeal it. Trump may have thought so because he's a stupid fucking dipshit, but that's by and large a Republican statute.
But also part of me understands that the bill became very unpopular in Trump country once it was out that insurance companies could refuse to cover Oxycontin overdoses so that's a non-starter right there.

I get it, sky is falling if you read the opposition party's daily spun headlines. Then go to Facebook and listen to others reinforce the headlines.
Meanwhile, back on earth, people's 401k's are up, jobs/investments are coming back, business leaders are excited again!!
Oh and concentration camps aren't being built, we're not becoming Nazi Germany, still ZERO updates on real Trump/Russia ties. I'm sure Putin is ecstatic we're making efforts toward being energy independent considering energy is their biggest export.
Meanwhile the previous "good" administration appears to have spied in some capacity, has financial ties to Russia and pushed policy to stop energy production here.
Radiobed - I guess you're a Trump/GOP supporter but I'm curious as to why? It makes zero socio-economic sense. Why do you think you're better off if the ultra wealthy elite in this country (the top .2%) get a giant tax cut. Why do you think you're better off if the poor, the elderly and the handicapped have their insurance access restricted and then have to pay more for their insurance which would cover less? Why do you think America is better off if not all Americans are treated equally under the law?
as for your previous post - THE FBI HAS AN ACTIVE AND ONGOING INVESTIGATION SURROUNDING TRUMP AND HIS ASSOCIATES AS TO WHETHER THEY CONSPIRED WITH A NATION HOSTILE TOWARDS AMERICA (that being Russia) TO SUBVERT OUR SACRED DEMOCRATIC ELECTION PROCESS ALLOWING A "PUPPET REGIME" TO BE PUT INTO THE WHITE HOUSE. This is unprecedented in our nation's history and would be 1,000,000 times bigger than either Watergate or Iran/Contra (Google those as I suspect you're around 30 years old).
Regarding "markets soaring" Obama comes in the DOW is at 6,500, he leaves, the DOW is near 20,000.
Get back to me about Trump when the DOW hits 60,000
Of course "Business Leaders" are praising Trump, he and the GOP want to slash their tax rates and pay for it by fucking you over left and right.
The only legislation Trump passed via executive order so far allows mining companies to resume dumping their toxic waste into the local rivers and streams. Allows oil companies to make and receive bribes and not have to report them. Allows financial service providers to fuck over clients by no longer requiring them to "act in the their client's best interest"
Your support of this makes zero sense.
All non essential Federal Gov't business should be on hold until this investigation is completed. No legislation should be passed and most certainly, no nominee to a LIFETIME APPOINTMENT position, The Supreme Court, should even be considered (unless of course that person is Merrick Garland since he was nominated legally and property by President Obama).
I seriously don't think you grasp the gravity of this situation and the possible fallout of any findings of wrongdoing. We are talking about TREASON.
Or you're just being a douche and taking a contrarian position for the sake of argument.

You need to back this up with proof. Independent proof, like the confirmation statement from FoMoCo. Your word doesn't go far here.

His statement is about as accurate as Trump's wire tapping claims. #FAKENEWS

Since the beginning of the year, Ford has announced about $1.9 billion in new U.S. investments. With one exception, all those moves date back to well before the election of 2016, noted Hinrichs. The one exception was the decision to start producing electrified vehicles at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. That was locked into place in December http://www.nbcnews.com/business/autos/t ... it-n739476

Oh!! So I've got the credibility problem?? Not Joe who I've quoted numerous times to show how wrong his propoganda has been with the passage of a little time.
If you had watched the interview I've already posted with the Ford exec, you would've heard him say at the 1 minute mark:
"So if you keep track of it all, we've announced 1.9 billion in investments here in the state of Michigan in the first 3 months this year, and about a billion of that is incremental from where we started (in 2015)"

You try so hard with your Fake News Joe. If you just listen to the short interview with the Ford exec, you'll clearly here this is an inaccurate spin.
The Flat Rock is not the only new piece, they also added 350 million to the piece just announced 2 days ago. They added a data center and additional work. That's at about the 12 second mark of the video.
