And yet the labor union hierarchy are down with the program. Union workers should revolt on their own leadership, which is selling them down the (Rio Grande) river.

I bought my last new Ford (an ‘86 Mustang GT) in 1987. Prior to that I had ordered an EXP from overseas. Guess that streak will continue.

It used to be that cars were made in Flint, and you couldn’t drink the water in Mexico. Now cars and made in Mexico, and you can’t drink the water in Flint.—Donald Trump

I remember Perot saying we would become a nation of “chicken pluckers.” What’s odd is that good manufacturing jobs are moving there and the chicken pluckers we have here are from there.

Another Globalist dream! Jeb Bush must be smiling!

Soon, a nation of burger-flippers will have no one to flip burgers for because nobody else has a job.

Any cars they sell in the US will have a 35% tax added to the price if Trump is elected.

Not excusing their decision, but small cars made in America have little or no profit margins.

The philosophy has always been to attract customers with entry level cars, then hope they move up to the more expensive, profitable vehicles as their income increases.
