Ford says Lincoln MKC production will stay in Kentucky, not move to Mexico. (Debunk the lie)

“DETROIT — Ford Motor Co. had considered moving production of the Lincoln MKC to Mexico, but instead the compact premium crossover will remain at the Louisville Assembly Plant, the automaker confirmed Thursday night.

Ford spokeswoman Christin Baker said the Cuautitlan plant was the “likely” new plant for the MKC when the automaker’s deal with the UAW expires in 2019.

But now the automaker plans to build the next generation of the MKC in Louisville, Kelli Felker, Ford’s global manufacturing and labor communications manager told Automotive News late Thursday.”

Trump has done more in a few weeks than Obama has done in almost 8 years to Keep and create jobs in the US.

When my wife’s Twin Turbo MKT was in the shop for a Service Bulletin, Lincoln gave her a Loaner MKC for a week.

When I asked her “How was it?”

She said “The C is for Crap”.

First concrete example of the excellent results we’re going to see from President-elect Trump’s MAGA policies!

Media trying to say the MKC production move to Mexico was never planned and that Trump lied.

The lie was repeated a few times and it was that Ford had never intended to move that line in the first place.

MSNBC or CNN was hyperventilating this morning that Ford was keeping the same number of employees in KY as per the union contract and going on the Trump was lying about keeping production in KY.

Those channels are completely unwatchable due to their bias and hate for Trump. If I were an advertiser on those channels, I would pull out completely. As it is, I’ll avoid products and service advertised on either ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN or MSNBC.

That is NOT TRUE.

Read the statement from the Ford spokesperson in the opening post.
