Holy shit libs... ford to stay in US. Apple to move back to US
 

Billy Ford called the mr. Trump and said he will keep his plant in Kentucky instead of moving to mexico.

Apple ceo called mr. Trump and said they intend to make phones in the US again instead of china.

How about that pussy grab? No good libs??

You have a link to some source?

#Trumppower

And be careful. Libs have now labeled it racist to call them libs.

Next thing you know they're labeling coffee, insurances, light bulbs and sidewalks racist.

Get this... I heard it on fox news. But also get this... MSM will reluctantly pick it up in a day or 2. Then I can post a link.

time to buy samsung shares LOL

One link... and please do read the hypocrisy of the article writer trying to save face...

They never said they were going to close the plant.
They are thinking of moving production of the Lincoln MKC small SUV out of the Louisville Assembly Plant so it could make more Ford Escapes there.

Trump claims he's saved Kentucky Ford plant from being moved to Mexico | Daily Mail Online

They were going to move faster then a beaten step child and that has come to a screaching halt. The writer can spin the insignificance of the Billy Ford call all he wants but kentucky just saved 1000's of jobs..

...period

Enjoy paying $2,800 for your iphones.

In other words, Apple is going through the motions knowing full well it can't manifacture phones here. And Trump wont do shit to fine Apple products because the backlach isn't worth it.
The absolute most it can do is build a factory here that is run by robots. China loses jobs. The US gains almost none. Its a lose/lose/lose move

It's ok, I've been saying Republitards for over 15 years. :thumbsup

Traitor... you should be deported to Canada. I'm actually not joking... you think US is so incompetent that we cannot assemble a phone. Stupid ass apple phone already costs $650... why?

right...because apple makes moves where nobody wins. your the same dipstick that says hilarys emails- whats the big deal?

nice brain you've got there, chap. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

i never said it was racist. just that you use it in the same manner that someone would use racial slurs. the amount of times in a day you say lib or libby or whatever other pet names you have is strange to me. as is your obsession with trump and taking such an abnormal interest in what political affiliation people have.

and grapesoda ... lol

It's funny how you guys use this word. Actually Trump is a pure liberal in contrast to socialist Obama. Trumps is going to lower taxes, reduce the role of the State in business, re-focus the external policy to the internal one etc. Everything that is called... LIBERALISM :upsidedow

The small cars are still going to Mexico. This is not news or Ford is playing Trump as obviously Trump is confused as to what factory is what.

Samsung...we bring explosions to your phone and your home. Dependable, always exploding...time-bombs you can trust! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

not without union workers making 25 an hour no, no chance.

Plenty of whipper snappers out there that can do it for 8 an hour

Seems this has nothing to do with Trump.

Apple is Foxconn's biggest customer but Chairman Terry Gou is worried about the rising production costs of such a move, the Nikkei reported, citing a source saying that costs will double. It's important to note that the discussions began in June, five months before Trump won the election.
(source)

This was started five months before Trump took office, and it will most likely double the cost of an iPhone. Think about this for just a moment..... the cost of iPhones would DOUBLE.

Then there is Ford.... Ford is saying it never had plans to move it's plant from Kentucky to Mexico. In fact, it invested $700 million into a the Kentucky plant in a controact with the United Auto Workers union. The plant is going to remain open and Trump had nothing to do with this. (source)

Trump likes to take credit for stuff that has nothing to do with him.

Rochard,;serious question. When apple brings their operation back to the US, what are you going to say?

Hillary kindness during campaign trail inspired apple?

And his supporters eat up the bullshit.

Doubling the price of a popular consumer good must be good for the economy, right? RIGHT!? :error

35% to 15% business tax ain't peanuts. What is apples revenue and profit margin again?

Apple doesn't produce its phones, so I'm unsure why that's relevant. :winkwink:

That's a serious break down of brain thought... I'll let someone else explain why.

But ... but ... that's anti-globalization.

So Trump is making MERICA great again by bringing back 1960s wages...

"costs will double" sounds like complete bullshit, they can't possibly double if manufacturing cost is only 2%.... they probably meant "manufacturing costs" will double, which would equate to $15 increase in costs for an iphone, which is fuck all, they'll make at least double that from free positive press/positive PR/etc:

certainly beats sitting on one's ass whole day bitching how there are no jobs available while collecting government benefits... :2 cents:

Funny you guys bitched and whined when there was $10-12 jobs gained from Obama, but bow and praises when it's Trump and $8 jobs..

someone pulled that $8/hr number out of their ass, just like you did with the $10-$12/hr number, it could end up $15/hr or $20/hr for all we know...

and still, what does it matter what the pay is? job is a job, beats doing nothing while sucking on government tit, which many claim is their only option in life because "there are no jobs available"...

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Sounds like all the Trump supporters on my FB working 30k / yr average as fuck jobs.

Foxconn does it. If their profit margins decrease substantially, then Apple will pay for it (and thus the consumer).

Apple making a lot of profit on one flagship product doesn't mean a whole lot. That subsidizes R&D for new products / current, smaller product lines, etc., as well.

They're not going to lose 10% profit margin (and thus stock price) just for shits and giggles.

Also, their effective tax rate is already far below 15%. Like I said, that's irrelevant.

How is effective tax rate well below 15%? Source please and that would have to be overseas operations then because US corporate tax rate is 35%.

That's exactly right. Trump is taking credit for a non-event.

Is anyone really surprised?


No Plaster, he didn't. Ford is on record saying that Trump was full of shit during his speeches. Trump did absolutely nothing here. But hey, bullshit is now the way of the land. Enjoy it.

Am I going to have to Internet bitch slap you again? It is well known, and documented, ford was structuring their us labor force strategy in case of a trump win.

Want me to provide you a couple links or do you want to find a CNN article that downplays this?

No, they didn't!

Apple is EXPLORING the idea, and have been doing so since June.

Apple iPhone Production: Is It Shifting to the U.S.?

Of course if they do this it might be pretty cool, but then again as the article says, it might be very expensive and may double their costs.

Yea... slave jobs for everybody!!

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...4e206b1fa5.jpg

And why were they discussing this whenever that article was written... that's right... bracing for an unexpected trump win

Stop lying and trying to cause conflict Dutch citizen living in the Netherlands.

Oh, so you are racist to??

Ive always had a lot of respect for you. You have done work for me in the past.

I thought you were a lot smarter than that :(

there is nothing racist about that pic... it just demonstrates typical attitude of many left leaning voters... news was announced that apple could bring some jobs to the US... and instead of being pleased with the news, you guys call it "slave jobs" or find something amusing about working for $30k/year...

I dont know anyone like that and I voted Democrat this election. You watch, and believe, too much Trump propaganda.

I think having "made in America" on every iphone would be an awesome kick in the teeth to the thieving Chinese government :thumbsup

We should take every factory out of China & Mexico and bring them to the U.S. China knocks off everything we pay their people to make there and legally sell it at half the price in their country fuck them!

They even knockoff ikea and McDonalds there

Thats ok plaster, believe what you want. You voted for Trump, and now you get to live with him as your president for the next 4 years, or until he's thrown out. I'm done. Have fun and good luck!

they did not move to china over 2% that is for sure...you are also forgetting that most of the r&d is in china...it is not cost effective to do it in the USA...most of the major components come from china as well...also you touch a penny of the investors profit and they will find somewhere else to invest...and the Iphone aint doing to well either...same old shit phone year after year...crapple is on the decline...

its the difference between nike and american apparel...one has money and attracts hella investors and the other one does not and produces in the USA...

Americans don't want jobs. They want EBT and disability. So they can play x-box and smoke weed all day.

Why send jobs to US where workers are always suing their employers? Who will work at these jobs?

More fake news....

Ford corrects Donald Trump on Louisville, Kentucky plans

This news... I swear. Headline says ford corrects trump then goes on to show ford agreed with Trump. The writer is so obviously vague about talking points the reader has absolutely no more knowledge about anything after reading it.

Typical

It's not apple's move if Trump administration is forcing them.

Trump did the same thing that he crucified Hillary for:
Donald Trump’s Companies Destroyed Emails in Defiance of Court Orders

Oh hey, so did the same Republicans who crucified Hillary:
The George W. Bush White House ‘Lost’ 22 Million Emails

But they're guys so it's ok. Since she's female she's not allowed to make a mistake.

I said at least Hillary showed up in court and explained herself, unlike Trump and Republitards who delayed hearings to let the clock run out.
