Title: Trump Successfully Pressures Ford to Move Mexican Plant to Ohio

Donald Trump may not be the President yet, but his constant criticism of Ford outsourcing jobs to Mexico has caused the auto tycoon to change course and bring the $2,000,000,000 plant back to the United States.

From Prntly:

CNN Money reports that Ford is moving its facility, originally slated for Mexico, back to the United States, where it will employ 1,000 factory workers in struggling Youngstown, Ohio.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump recently said that if he’s elected he would take steps to make it more expensive for manufacturers to shift work to Mexico and then export the items back to the United States.

“How does that help us?” Trump said about the Ford investment in Mexico while campaigning in Michigan this week. “Mexico is becoming the new China.”

Ford has declined to comment, but many see this as a good sign, a welcome change after decades of outsourcing manufacturing plant overseas.

This is what I call ‘winning.’ Trump has given speech after speech about how Mexico is becoming the next China and is whipping our butts in manufacturing and production. Even before a possible Trump presidency, things are beginning to change for the better. I hope other companies follow suit and quickly. I see this as a very, very good sign. Trump is already having a major impact on our economy and he hasn’t even won yet. Imagine what would happen if he does win. This is epic.

He isn't even President yet and the Trump effect is already in action.

By ELLEN UCHIMIYA CBS NEWS October 26, 2015, 1:13 AM Did Trump convince Ford to move jobs out of Mexico?

U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally at the Richmond International Raceway in Richmond, Virginia October 14, 2015. REUTERS/Jay Paul REUTERS 2 Comments Shares 71 Tweets Stumble Email More + Donald Trump is taking credit for a decision by Ford Motors to shift work from a plant in Mexico to a plant in the U.S., tweeting on Sunday:

What is he talking about and how much credit can he claim?

Over the weekend a few blogs, crediting another site called Prntly, celebrated Trump's impact on Ford.

"Under pressure, Ford is moving back their Mexican plant (worth 2 billion) back to the states... Youngstown, Ohio to be exact. There will be 1,000 new jobs for factory workers there. I'm sure I'm not alone with an urge to weep in relief over that one development. Ford must believe that Trump will be the next president," the post on Prntly read.

It appears Trump was responding to these news items, sourced to Prntly.

But the news Prntly is so moved by is a couple of months old. It refers to Ford's August announcement that it had begun production of 2016 medium-duty trucks in Ohio. It is true, as the site mentioned, that 1,000 jobs would be shifted to Ohio, and according to Ford's press release, it was also true that the trucks had been "previously assembled in Mexico." But this is no $2 billion deal -- it's $168 million. And the jobs are in Avon Lake, not Youngstown.

As for the pressure from Trump, he mentioned in his Tweet that it must have been his "constant badgering" that changed the automaker's mind. He is referring here to threats he made on the day he announced his presidential candidacy in June. The billionaire said he'd slap a huge tariff on every Ford produced in Mexico and told the U.S. automaker so in his speech.

"Let me give you the bad news: every car, every truck and every part manufactured in this plant that comes across the border, we're going to charge you a 35 percent tax -- OK?" Trump said. It was a line he repeated several more times on the campaign trail.

But John Kasich heard about Trump's tweets and is probably justifiably irritated because, as it turns out, the credit for those Avon Lake Ford jobs appears to belong to him. In 2011, Cleveland.com reported, the Ohio governor negotiated with Ford for the jobs and secured $15 million in tax breaks for the automaker over 15 years, to entice Ford into keeping the jobs in Avon Lake.

Kasich took a swipe at the billionaire over his tweets, which Kasich called "empty, false rhetoric" in a statement Sunday. "We brought Ford production jobs back from Mexico to Ohio years ago," he went on to say.

Trump's original threats were actually in response to a different deal -- Ford's April announcement that it would invest $2.5 billion in new engine and transmission plants in Chihuahua and Guanajuato, creating 3,800 jobs.

The fear for U.S. auto workers is that those jobs are coming straight from Wayne, Michigan, where Ford workers were informed in July that the cars they produce -- the small, fuel-efficient C-Max and Focus -- would no longer be produced in the U.S. The Wayne plant employs 4,000 workers.

In any case, it seems that the answer to Trump's question below -- should really be "No."

Trump has more ability to woo working class union voters than any other GOP candidate. This only helps him with that demographic. He probably can't win an endorsement like UAW but he can peel some votes off from their usual monolithic voting bloc.

To try to bring Kasich into it is grasping at straws.

Trump won't let the facts interfere with his narrative. This deal happened in 2011 .

http://www.morningjournal.com/general-news/20111206/major-news-at-ford- announcement-could-call-for-retention-of-1400-jobs?viewmode=fullstory

...and all it's going to do is cost the taxpayers $15 million in incentives. I'm betting that is the unspoken part of the deal Trump would negotiate too.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
