President-elect Donald Trump is preparing to take office in less than two weeks, but is already proving that his economic intelligence is going to be huge for America jobs.
After facing criticism from the President-elect for moving operations to Mexico, Fiat Chrysler and Ford Motor Co. have announced plans to expand plants and create new jobs in the U.S., as the auto industry gathers for its annual show in Detroit.
Fiat Chrysler said Sunday it will invest $1 billion in two U.S. factories to build three new Jeep vehicles, including a pickup truck. The expansion will create 2,000 new jobs. Ford last week scrapped plans to build a $1.6 billion small-car factory in Mexico, and said $700 million would go toward expanding a Michigan plant to build new electric and autonomous vehicles.
Trump has criticized the industry’s strategy of building cars in Mexico and then shipping them to the U.S. He has threatened a 35 percent border tax and said the cars should be built in the U.S. by American workers.
On Monday, Trump tweeted “it’s finally happening,” and thanked Ford and Fiat Chrysler for the investments in the U.S.
At the show, executives from General Motors and Volkswagen said they have no plans to change production plans despite the Trump border tax threat.
Trump’s efforts to encourage manufacturing in America are clearly already having an effect on businesses and will likely continue to shape the economic landscape for years to come.

SMART!!! This is just the beginning. America FIRST!! DRAIN the swamp!!!
USA USA USA TRUMP! TRUMP ! TRUMP! making America Great Again!!!!!!!
Nothing to do with trump!
You would think the celebritys would be happy with all the jobs trump has created so more people can afford there over priced movies boycott Hollywood is what we should all do
right on ! all the trashy movies coming out of hollywood contribute to all the criminal activity in this once great nation
Yes, indeed. Hollywood is very much responsible for plunging the standard of morality in our nation. When I was a kid we weren’t even allowed to go to the shows there were at that time. Now those old movies look like a Sunday School class. Even what would be a fairly good movie, like “Father of the Bride” was spoiled by one dirty joke.
Dave
Right On!!!
Stop the trash it is bad for the young and stupid.
They don’t know the difference right and wrong because of their ignorance.
I’LL NEVER WATCH ANOTHER MOVIE,SHOW, LISTEN TO MUSIC THAT INVOLVES THE PPL WHO CALLED US ALL IGNORANT ETC. THESE PPL R WHAT THEY ACCUSE US OF BEING. DO THEY EVER LISTEN TO THEMSELVES? THESE SO CALLED COLLEGE EDUCATED PPL HAVE NO COMMON SENSE AT ALL. RICH ASS ELITES TRY TO RUN OUR LIFE. WHAT MADE ACTORS ,TALK SHOW HOST THINK THEIR SO SMART? THE VIEW HOST’S FULL OF STUPIDITY. THEY SAID THEY WOULD MOVE GUESS THEIR LIARS ALSO
True , America needs to truly understand the power of a boycott
Absolutely!! Don’t go to their movies!!!
Let’s boycott the actresses and actors who threatened to leave our country including Meryl Streep. Make their movies go bankrupt
I agree 100%
go mr trump go we are beting on you the best for amrican,
best yet to come.those lazy democrate s did,nt care what happen
to American jobs as long as they got a pay check, theyu have it coming.
just good ol boy,s te he
THEIR over priced whatever! THEIR as in belonging to them. The other ‘there’ is as in ‘over THERE”. Learn ONE way and you’ll know both.
POPCORN AND COKE,COST MORE THAN MOVIE.
Right on target! Boycott movies and especially Streep movies and all those who have shown their ignorance. Clueless! President Trump is merely protecting us from criminals coming into OUR country illegally. They are welcome to come in legally! What’s so hard to understand about that? Just sore losers.. In elections people, all people vote for the person they want to represent them. One side obviously has to lose. The losers are to suck it up and go on with the program and not whine at every given opportunity. We sucked it up for EIGHT LONG YEARS without the whining! It’s our time to win and enjoy all the wonderful times ahead! Grow UP! We are a democracy!
And the punk, DeNiro; don’t forget what he said about President Trump. Definitely boycott any trash he’s involved in.
And don’t forget Hugh Laurie and Jimmy Fallon!
Just before I switched channel I noticed a loud mouthed, idiotic, definitely stupid, arrogant and offensive talk show almost host shooting his mouth off and portraying his unbelievable ignorance of who MY PRESIDENT, THE DONALD, really is. Does that piece of [uh-oh, can’t say that word publically] sound like that same jimmy fallacy?
Well said
How stupid is Streep
She gets an award by the people and she spends half her time and talks about someone else.
What an ignorant idiot
I think you are right
Boycott ALL movies and TV shows. Watch anything that doesn’t have to do with the anti-Trump supporters. Don’t watch the Grammy’s…hit them where it hurts…their pocketbook. Shoot…don’t buy the CD’s of the same anti-Trump supporters…even Garth Brooks.
Amen to that!
I’ve been boycotting Hollywood liberal actors for a decade. Any actor who tells me how to vote and calls me names and mocks me for being a conservative woman, will NEVER get a penny from me. I keep a list of conservative actors, directors and producers. to whom I support with my money and time. Everyone else can go fly a kite. You would be surprised how many are out there, keeping their mouths shut for fear of being blacklisted.
I agree, who made movie stars experts on anything? Most of them are narcissistic perverts.
Celebrities are liberals and liberals stay loyal to the deplorable Dems. Streep’s comments are petty and ridiculous. What could be her chance for greatness she managed to mess up big time. Frankly, I’m still waiting for the celebrities who warned they would leave the country if Trump was elected President, to leave. Or is it too difficult to find the quality of the life you enjoyed in America in another country? Just remember, if you stay in this country, President Trump is YOUR President too. I suggest you become part of the Make America Great Again team and support your country!
Just remember the last time we exoated an import duty, the labor unions wanted a raise ,
Yes. Isn’t the unreasonable demands of the unions one of the reasons factories moved to other countries?
Dave
ABSOLUTELY! Greedy labor union bosses, getting fat on their agenda, which also serves to chase businesses out of America. I’ve never understood how rank and file union members think driving businesses away will somehow help them. These decisions are driven by the bottom line. It’s simple, really: If our costs rise beyond a certain point, then we can no longer remain in business; it’s a simple matter of the bottom line.
And Public Sector unions are even worse…MUCH worse, because there is no bottom line to be concerned about. The thinking is that: If we need more money, simple: We just raise taxes on the taxpayers…nobody’s accountable, and the politicians, unwilling to face the public outrage over their multi $Billion pension shortages, simply ‘Kick the can down the road’. There’s a good reason that Public Sector unions were never allowed, and THIS IS IT. There’s nobody at the bargaining table who’s job it is to defend the bottom line….just the unions, with their limitless greed, and the politician who are elected by the union’s bloc vote. NOBODY is looking out for the taxpayer…NOBODY.
SO YOU WOULD RATHER HAVE ANOTHER DEPRESSION?! MAKE UP YOUR DAMN MIND!!
I thought this article was about jobs being brought back to the USA. Trump wil most likely not be in a position to do this after the inauguration, best he does this now. Unions are not the sole problem, we have a very complex issue when fair pay is being discussed. There was rampant corruption 50 or more years ago in the unions. No one has to look very far to find corruption, union or not.
Absolutely correct. Public sector unions should be dissolved. The service a citizen receives when needing help from most government employees is disgraceful all because they can’t be fired
trump trump do it betting on you the best for American yet to come
you care about american
Just remember the last time we exoated an import duty, the labor unions wanted a raise ,
Amazing what can be done OFF the golf course, huh ? I heard that layoffs are expected at Hawaiian country clubs.
Does that mean that the Barack the MOSLEM HUSSAIN won’t find a golf course to play? That really breaks my heart.
I HOPE TRUMP,REFUSES TO LET THAT POS,PLAY ON HIS COURSES.
The swamp has needed drained for a long time. The last 8 years have really been bad for AMERICA and the Bitch would have killed it off for sure.
I wonder if he can do something about the A$$HOLES running SAN FAG FRISCO. Especially POLOSI.
President Elect Trump has done more before his term begins than Obozo the “Big Eared” Clown did in his eight (8) years. Glad to see El Presidente Ostupid-o will soon be a thing of the past.
Maybe the new ag will put a treason charge on the top 3 or 4 of the last administration.they sure tried to overthrow the gov.
How do you REALLY. Feel? I cant hardly tell! Lol!!
Regarding the article about Trump increasing jobs in American. Wasn’t it the American tax payer that bailed out GM back in 2008??? I remember their nickname Oboma auto company. This is another reason not to buy gm.
GM Govt Motors! Managed by unions?
GM STILL OWES THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS BILLIONS, AND THIS IS THE THANKS WE GET FOR OBUMBA BAILING THEM OUT, PUT A BORDER TAX ON THEM UNTIL THERE DEBT IS PAID, CUT THERE SALES OFF, UNTIL THE DEBT IS PAID. THEY SHOULD HAVE NEVER TAKEN THE BILLIONS THAT OBUMBA GAVE THEM, AN WENT TITS UP, JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER AMERICAN WOULD HAVE DONE, BIG OR SMALL BUSINESS.

I HOPE TRUMP TAXES THE BASTARDS
Auto makers and auto workers working together in Harmony ; Get Rid of Labor Unions .
Dear Rafael , I agree 100 %. All the unions due is drive the prices up on every thing!
I worked in the auto field for 30 years sad to see how the union has changed at first the made sure all employees where treated the seem over the years they now look out for the druggie the drunk and the person that missing a lot of time It’s time to get the unions out
That’s right the senior management will take care of us. They have a long history of looking out for our interest and treating us fairly
i voted for president trump in november and i’ll vote for president trump in the next election.
president trump is not even in office yet and he’s ‘already’ doing a better job to restore our country than any president has done in the last 50+ years.
thank you president trump.
don’t let those corrupt idiots get you down.
Let me See?! Bare Ass bought G M and they moved to Mexico to make cars? And ,Of course, they only sell a few of those cars in America! SO now they say they will continue to do as before and the Hell with Trump! they Dare him to Tax these cars! Remember the loss the taxpayers took on the Stock so G M “PAID OFF ” Its debt at a loss! ( TO US ) Buy O Bare Ass motors! Junk Made in America ! ( Central America ! )
Well what u said just flew over my head.?? Please explain!!!
WHAT THE HELL did you just say? Get someone to write your comments for you so people can understand them.
I was looking to purchase a new car.My list got shorter by two makers.
Didn’t the American taxpayer bail out Government Motors in 2009. I’m sure it was interest free as well! Yet how many Americans lost there homes? 6 million?
i voted for president trump in november and i’ll vote for president trump in the next election.

don’t let those corrupt idiots get you down.
Trump = good. Obama and Clinton = evil. It’s not complicated.
Correct
Thank you, President-elect Trump!!!! Looking forward to January 17, 2017, when you will officially be our next President. Despite what others may say or do, I will be celebrating on that day!!! All the best to you, sir!!!
P.S. Build the Wall and Enforce the Law!!!
….looking forward to Janurary 20, 2017…..
I’ve been looking at buying another truck,, GMC and Chevrolet has just been wiped off my list,, The New Ford although looks good, it just started looking better. It will be interesting to see the New Jeep P/U that Chrysler plans on making in their New Plant.
I have a feeling it will be a little over priced.
Go Trump,, You’re The Man,,
All trucks are over priced. I always like to buy American. Few years back I bought a Dodge truck. Dodge = American?? That is when the German company Mecedes owned Chrysler. The stamp on my Truck said made in Mexico. Oh well 🙂
The best thing that could have happened is President Trump. He truly cares for our country.
I hope General Motors and Volkswagen goes bankrupt with no dipshiit like ODumbo to bail them out again…
They’re obviously UNION-owned and controlled a55whipes
Sell your stock in GM and hurt them where it counts, and stop going to the movies, it’s time!
BOYCOTT. HOLLYWOOD MOVIES THAT HAVE TREASONOUS. ACTORS AN ACTRESSES. IN THEM THAT MEANS YOU MERYL STREEP. SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT ELECT!
Smart move for everybody.
Thank You Mr. (president) Trump: I do have a question about Russia. We are told how they interfered with our elections. What about the times Obama interfered with Isreal elections?? No one is talking about that.
The Hollywood types hide in their multi million dollar homes in Malibu and Beverly hills with high fences and bodyguards and have the Gaul to criticize the rest of the working population, they could care less about illegal crime, government welfare to support Obama care or the terrorists and murder rate, they are protected and have theirs, and the hell with everyone else. They are lying hypocrites and worshipers of tyrants like Stalin, Hillary and other idiots. Not all of them but the vast majority should be boycotted when their bigoted movies are released.
My wish would be that the ones that said they were leaving , WOULD, and leave their passports here…
The federal government bailed GM out. General Motors should return the favor by keeping jobs in America.
President Trump is already doing a good job to make his slogan of making America great again a reality. This contrasts with Obama who rode into office on hope and change. In short order he destroyed hope and left us longing for change in the form of getting him out of office.
TRUMP WILL MAKE AMERICA FIRST & CREATE JOBS FOR WE THE PEOPLE
GM never paid back 10 billion they owed the Tax payer and they can continue to make their cars in Mexico I believe that
our President Trump should just no longer say anything to these people because now they are making fun of him, The left think they are going to become apart of the people who deminize him and the Republicans he has put in this cabnet and shame on
Holly wood and shame on some of the people on the left for not standing up now and supporting the things he is trying to do..
Mr Trump You need to stop tweeting at these dumb people. They are doing again what they tried to do during your Campaign and if you continue to do and say the things you are You will be the one who is hurt in the end..
Hey Vic – please help me.
#1 – read what you wrote
#2 – put into English what the hell you are trying to say
#3 – learn to spell or how to use spellcheck
Thanks…..Ken
Ken Stekter – don’t be a pompous pseudo intellectual the likes of OracleGuy, another know it all “Moron”,
This is just the beginning – GM and Volkswagen are two of the most vile criminal auto makers. GM suckers the taxpayers to keep them from going under and fights their killer airbag judgements. Volkswagen’s criminal acts screw millions of Citizens that bought their vehicles – VW like Mercedes and BMW offer us high priced and high maintenance tin buckets of nuts and bolts.
What a bunch of FOOLS spewing lying garbage. Trump the draft dodging coward has NOTHING to do with the jobs that are staying. Have you Trump Chumps lost all gray cells in your brainless heads, evidently.
YO PETEY, Billy boy Clinton dodged the Draft by running to Canada……By the time Uncle Trump was old enough to go to war there was no more draft, it was all volunteer.
What did he say Moe?? Curly…… He said …. gkgkgnnghyuf,hcdtejdfnbnsvdnccm
Stooges
This is for you peter anton D/B
Hey ISUCKPETERS anton, why don’t you find some libtard page and leave us TRUMP SUPPORTERS ALONE. Oh I forgot soros pays people like you to be disruptors.
I earned my living in the US AUTO industry with GM and wowned up with a measerly pension because I was tricked into taking a lesser paying job in the company trying to hold on to my job and the company closed the facility and I was compensated with a unskilled workers pension and also lost medical coverage because of Obama taking over GM and gave them my contribution to medical and turned me over to Medicaid. Go ahead Mr Trump, I will support you and I’ll do it again and again.
A this time in this country, unions are the enemy of the GOOD worker and a friend to the BAD worker. Case in point, every one gets paid the same, good or bad and the bad worker has more power because he is usually the one that is most likely to complain and use union protection. We in this country no longer need union protection because the lawyers and the courts can right a wrong, should it be needed. and what does a union boss do these days except take money from the worker for doing absolutely “NOTHING”. GOOD GIG, DON’T YOU THINK. Trash the crooked unions, work for adecent wage, buy any product for a good price, and live a good life.
Dave I Totally agree, Worked in union aerospace Plant 35, years different union same lazy, crooked, incompetent union management, takes all your money and gives back nothing.
I’m sure marxist professors of economics in our colleges are cringing at Mr. Trumps daily victories….maybe they are in a safe room playing with playdoh and coloring books are now a daily program. hahhahhhahahahhhhhhhaaaaaahhahhhhahhhahhahahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaahhahhahahahahhhhhahahhhahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhahahahhahahhahahhhahhhhahhahaaaaaaaahhhhhahahahhahhahahhhaa
Are you talking draft dodging like slick Willie and his lying spouse that tried to enlist in the
The service,two of the biggest jokes we have ever had in our political system.
Thank God they are washed up and gone.
Lock up both of them.
Trump has done more for America as PE than Obama has done!
Just the beginning of a terrible fight we are going to have to stay active in your government if you want this to happen don’t forget that Trump can only suggest things the Congress has to agree and pass laws.

Hello,
Everyone who reads things on this site, please go out and buy something from LL Bean.
I was watching the news yesterday and because the CEO of LL Bean made a donation to the Trump campaign the Liberals are trying to start a boycott of LL Bean.
Please forward this email to all of your Friends and ask them to support LL Bean and to also forward this email to their Friends.
Also if you know of any other companies that the Liberals are trying to boycott please support them also.
Trump supporters need to start of a boycott of the celebrity Hillary supporters of companies like Old Navy and others who hire people like Amy Shumer to do TV commercials for their companies.
We the decent people need to take our country back.
