    Before he's even taken office, President-elect Donald Trump has proven to be quite the job creator.

    Ford Motor Company announced Tuesday it will cancel a $1.6 billion plant planned for Mexico and will instead invest $700 million in a Michigan assembly plant, directly tying the decision to “pro-growth policies” championed by President-elect Donald Trump.

    Trump had previously been critical of Ford’s plans to build in Mexico. After the announcement, Trump tweeted a link to a story about the Ford decision and then added in a subsequent message: "Instead of driving jobs and wealth away, AMERICA will become the world's great magnet for INNOVATION & JOB CREATION."

    CEO Mark Fields, speaking at an event at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant, said the policies that Trump “and the new Congress have indicated they will pursue” were vital to the company’s decision.

    “We believe these tax and regulatory reforms are necessary to boost U.S. compe iveness,” Fields said.

    Tuesday's announcement was the latest in a string of pre-inauguration successes for Trump in the manufacturing sector.

    In early December, air conditioner and furnace maker Carrier agreed to stay in Indiana after weeks of negotiations headed by Vice President-elect Mike Pence. The decision reportedly saved about 700 jobs that would have been shifted to Mexico.

    Later in the month, wireless provider Sprint and Internet company OneWeb announced they would be adding thousands of jobs in the U.S. Both companies are controlled by SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son, who had previously met with Trump.

    Earlier Tuesday morning, Trump took aim at another auto giant: General Motors.

    "General Motors is sending Mexican made model of Chevy Cruze to U.S. car dealers-tax free across border. Make in U.S.A. or pay big border tax!" Trump tweeted.

    GM, however, quickly pushed back on Trump's assertions.

    "GM builds the Chevrolet Cruze hatchback for global markets in Mexico, with a small number sold in the U.S." a statement said.

    The investment in the Flat Rock plant is set to create 700 jobs, according to Fields. The money, which was taken from the $1.6 billion earmarked for the Mexico plant, will be used to open a new factory that will build high-tech autonomous and electric vehicles as well as the Mustang and Lincoln Continental, the company said in a press release.

    "I am thrilled that we have been able to secure additional UAW-Ford jobs for American workers," UAW Vice President Jimmy Settles said in the release. "The men and women of Flat Rock Assembly have shown a great commitment to manufacturing quality products, and we look forward to their continued success with a new generation of high-tech vehicles."

    Que some sour grapes, Leftwing nutjob article from Boots about how Henry Ford was a Nazi and created the 40 hour work week to enslave people and that a good leader would let people make 40-hour-per-week-checks for not working at all.

    If this Ford move, which probably has a more accurate hidden story to come out later, was bad for Ford but pleasing to Trash, Ford wouldn't do it.

    I'll take Fields on his word here. Obama saving GM is one of the big reasons I voted for him in 2012, so if Trump can deliver jobs he'll get my 2020 vote too. I hope he does.

    maybe a war or two, defunding PP, IRS, SEC, Education, VA, kill CFPB, killing net neutrality, killing ACA and 100Ks Americans, appointing compromised rightwing extremists to 100+ of Federal judgeships, plus one two on SCOTUS, etc, etc, etc. approving every single mega-merger, causing 100Ks of job losses

    Just look at Repug platform and Trash's agenda.

    And that's not even considering the rampant cronyism, corruption throughout the Repug party, national, state, local.

    One big reason businesses in the US aren't profitable is because they are taxed and regulated into the ing ground. Another, especially up north, is union labor that strong arms companies into paying high prices for basically unskilled labor.

    Wasn't aware Obama bailed out anyone. I was aware GWB signed a bailout package for GM at the end of his last term.

    Half of those things arent bad at all. The other half isn't stuff we havent experienced with the last two devils who preceeded him. And the corruption he will bring in will be minimal compared to the Left reanimating the burnt ashes of Joe Goerbells to run their Propaganda Ministry, let alone being owned by Soros.
