They are quoting his twitter account though. Unable to access twitter right now, but someone here can check DT twitter to verify.
He posted two tweets in a row:
“Just got a call from my friend Bill Ford, Chairman of Ford, who advised me that he will be keeping the Lincoln plant in Kentucky - no Mexico”
“I worked hard with Bill Ford to keep the Lincoln plant in Kentucky. I owed it to the great State of Kentucky for their confidence in me!”
It looks to me like the networks are completely ignoring the fact that Trump actually spoke with the chairman of Ford.
