Excerpt from this article:
After taking heavy fire from Donald Trump during the
presidential campaign for potentially shipping American jobs to Mexico,
Ford has now announced that it will not be moving its Lincoln assembly
operations from Louisville, Kentucky to Mexico.
"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 — not
Mexico," Trump wrote on Twitter

Michael Moore Perfectly Explains Why Trump Will Win [Video]
------------------------------------
This is a great video. Well, a good video. It would have been great if Mr. Moore could have expressed himself without dropping F-bombs all over the place. But here is the take away that makes this worth watching:
"I know a lot of people in Michigan that are planning on voting for Trump...They're not racists and rednecks, they're actually pretty decent people...Donald Trump came to the Detroit Economic Club and stood there in front of the Ford Motor executives, and said, If you close these factories as you've planning to do in Detroit, and build them in Mexico, I'm going to put a 35% tarriff on those cars and no one is going to buy them....No politician, Republican or Democrat, had ever said anything like that to these executives and it was music to the ears of people in Michigan and Ohio and Pensylvania and Wisconson..." (my emphasis)
You can watch Donald Trump's speech here.
It has been said that elections have consequences. Maybe more people should have voted for Patrick Buchanan in 2000! Here is an except from Patrick Buchanan's great book, The Great Betrayal: How American Sovereignty and Social Are Being Sacrificed to the Gods of the Global Economy:
"No site better captures yesterday's America than Detroit, forge and furnace of America's democracy. Detroit is the burned out case of American cities. The Empire of the Sun has its revenge. Japanese imports helped kill the city that built the weapons that destroyed the empire. Now grandsons of the soldiers of the imperial army work at high paying manufacturing jobs once held by the fathers of ten-dollar-an-hour retail clerks in Macomb County.
"But why blame the Japanese? We did it to ourselves. We Americans created a post war trading regime, in which, over 25 years, Japan bought 400,000 American cars while selling us 40 million Japanese cars, a ratio of 100:1. One president after another sat still while a third of America's greatest industry was shipped off to Japan...
"Americans no longer make their own cameras, shoes, radios, TVs, toys. A fifth of our steal, a third of our autos, half our machine tools, and two-thirds of our textiles are made abroad...
"The decline and fall of Middle America was neither preordained nor inevitable. It was engineered in Washington D.C. Wages have fallen and the standard of living of American families has stagnated because of a basic law: the law of supply and demand. The price of labor has been dropping because the supply of labor has exploded...
"Having declared free trade and open borders to be American policy, why are we surprised that corporate executives padlocked their plants in the Rust Belt and moved over seas? Why keep your plants here when you can manufacture at a fraction of the cost abroad, ship your goods back, and pocket the windfall profits that come from firing $20 an hour Americans and hiring fifty-cent-an-hour Asians? A pair of Nikes that sells for $150 in the United States costs $5 in wages to make in Indonesia. Any wonder that Nike president Philip Knight is the fifth richest man in America, with $5.2 billion, while his Indonesian workers make 31 cents an hour?" (Emphasis mine)
