Thought this plan was scrapped last month (as reported on Jan 3, 2017) but it looks like Ford had decided to move forward with their factories in Mexico.
While the nationalist side in me would love to retain all jobs in the US, the compassionate side of me can appreciate spreading jobs globally so people can have the same opportunities that we were simply lucky enough to be "born" with.
Funny how you thought this was a "ah ha" moment. These plants were already being built before Trump and have nothing to do with the Ford/Trump agreement haulting the new $1.7+billion dollar plant plans. Did you even read the entire article?

Actually, this wasn't an "ah ha" moment. I thought, and I think it was portrayed last month, that Ford scrapping plans in Mexico to a much greater extent than it really is. Nothing was mentioned last month that these plants will create 3,800 jobs in Mexico vs a plant which will create 700 jobs in Detroit -- which appeared to have been the plan all along.
Sounds to me like Ford got the best of both worlds in the fact that last months news was 10x more publicized than last weeks confirmation about their future production (3,800 jobs) in Mexico.

The above article states the Detroit plant was in the works all along.
^^^ I'm not certain if that is true or not.
The fact of the matter is that many businesses had plans to bring jobs back before Trump took office. All the fuss about Trump bringing jobs back is a farce.

So free trade is also a myth invented by Trump? the guy is openly trying to reverse the results of free trade and NAFTA... plus he is openy anti-TPP. This isnt made up stuff...

Were these decisions made based on Trump's pending election or well before? I'm seeing very few reports of growth and returning jobs to the US prior to elections.

Being born with only ten fingers and toes isn't Trumps fault. Or maybe it is..... Is there something about it on PMSNBC yet?

So theses multi-billion dollar businesses plan stuff based on Biff's Almanac? Do they take turns looking at it?

Can say that again...no wait, it was dumb the first time. We'll stop there McFly!
Lol I remember people were like, "Yep bringing back jobs in the US! WINNING!"
Now it's like, stupid NAFTA. Or, it was already being built! Can't be much done about that.
