This is F**E NEWS, again designed to try and make trumpy and his trade policies look bad and put the blame on falling sales on something other than over priced pieces of s**t. Ford has been struggling for years. Back in January 2006 Ford announced restructuring plans that including laying off 30,000 workers and close 14 plants.

Now, it's contract time and all of a sudden Ford is broke...LOL "Many of those layoffs could come from Ford’s European and South American businesses, which are currently costing the automaker billions of dollars annually. Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford said in May that investors ought to anticipate some “fairly large” changes in those markets as the automaker attempts to cut its losses and improve its financial fitness."

Just recently Ford announced the discontinuation of all car models except the Mustang and Focus due to poor sales numbers.

But the t***h doesn't matter to moonbats. They will lie and say anything if they think it will make trumpy look bad. If you want trumpy to look bad, then look at his TAX Cuts and Jobs Act gift to the wealthy and mega-corporations.

really how about the billions he wants to give farmers who lost their markets because of his tariffs and its congress job to impose tariffs not trumps but they let him get away with it.

Poor sales have hurt all the car companies. Also, gov sponsored and funded car companies like Tesla have undercut all American car manufacturers. How does tariffs effect car sales?? Think about that and take all the time you need.

Well wolfbreath, it depends on which piece of propaganda one reads and believes.

Perhaps what you believe is just more cover for more big corporate farm welfare.

Just like when there was a tariff on imported wool. An American made wool sweater costs $10 and an imported wool sweater costs $12. When the tariff was eliminated it devastated the US sheep industry. Tariffs are not always bad.

Farmers love the tariffs because it got them an new trade agreement with Canada and Mexico. LOL!

The US is the most agriculturally productive nation on earth. Other countries eventually depend on US agricultural products when theirs fails.

It is a little more complicated than that.

That's why bi-lateral trade agreements are so important. We will now be able to sell many more of out autos in Japan, Korea, Germany, and China, stay tuned. Trillions are heading our way. Which is why the banksters and the Federal Reserve is making waves. Plus, I've always been a Chevy/GMC kinda guy.
