That’s cause he’s giving them handouts!Don't count on it. Farmers are hardest hit by the tariffs and they still support Trump.

He was trying to do the same thing with coal producers but Republicans were hearing from their bases complaining about not getting a piece.That’s cause he’s giving them handouts!
So glad I didn't buy that Ford Fusion last March. Looks like things have gone to shit again for Murican auto industry.

There’s a thread every time from somebodyShow me a post where I claimed 25,000 was Obama''s economy. I said it was President Trumps economy but also been calling it a sugar high. Wall Street at the time knew that Trump would plow larger tax breaks an would seek more.
What they did not factor it did not include cuts in healthcare an other government areas. Wall Street wants budget cuts with tax breaks. They also want an end in this protracted tariff war.

Ford who seems to have a good read in the economy are adjusting ahead of a downturn.
There been a number of companies who have even under growth have been making adjustments.
When companies like Ford, Harley-Davidson, Carrier, Dow Chemical and others are making cuts an moving factories could be a sign of slowing growth.
Much of this according to the media is President Trump's trade war but I think differently. Companies use business models an historical data to determine where the economy is heading.
They no doubt make adjustments to their business to head off a much larger problem.
Ford as of late especially been making adjustments not unlike 2007 ahead of the 2008 recession.
They made cuts an borrowed money ahead of the banking breakdown. Of course people will say this is what companies do from time to time to eliminate deadwood.
This is true but Ford been signalling far deeper cuts ahead for the company. They plan on eliminating most of their car business an focus on truck sales and moving factory production to Mexico.
At the time 2006-2007 Ford was making these adjustments the economy seemed pretty stable but fuel costs are similar to today.
Usually fuel costs can factor in these issues but we are not there yet. I look at companies adjusting businesses as a sign of their feelings towards future growth.
At least this is my take on recent announcement by Ford on job cuts.

Monsanto was bought. But yes that should have been blocked. Too much consolidation is bad same with the dupont dow merger.Such bullshit.
The big 3 had plans to move manufacturing to Mexico and Canada already. They were going to do this regardless.
Dow chemical was bought by Baer. This was another example of how anti-trust laws are not being enforced.
It is a crying shame to blame Trump's trade paltform, for the long term outsourcing, and monopoly problems that infect our economy, that niether Trump nor Demcorats seem to have the balls to even identify.
Thing is ford isn't an shan't been doing well for half a decade now. Mulllaly was an amazing ceo and he saw what needed to be done. Since then Ford doesnt have a direction and has been dabbling and not leading. There also going to stop production of most their cars.
It's global but it does not help that 1 in 5 are now more then 3 months late in paying their car loans and that has increased since President Trump has taken office. There is over a trillion dollars of car loans and 1/3 to 1/5th of them are delinquent in payments. Deficit is growing rapidly and China as well as other Countries are selling off US bonds and yields are dropping. Many in Government as well as Wall Street have been warning about the car loans and compared it to the conditions that hit mortgages. This is just not a Ford issue as pointed out in the video trickle down economics is not working to drive manufacturing as reported by Goldman Sach stating that a record 880 billion in stock buybacks since the corporate tax break has driven up stock prices but done little to stimulate the economy and also ballooned the deficit. GM, Fiat Chrysler have been exploring partnerships or in the case of FCA being acquired by Nissan.
President Trump spends a lot of time in Michigan but US automakers are worried another big downturn could close the doors for good. So as President keeps on complaining there is little US automakers can do with they are close to bankruptcy.
