Some 12 percent of Ford workers worldwide could be out of a job.

from what i recall, the first "A" in MAGA is "America". So when the Ford Focus Active, which is manufactured in China, isn't going to be manufactured for the US.....no wait....
... you are saying that "worldwide" labor force applies to "America" how again? Selling more affordable cars here in America and laying of employees not-in-America (a.k.a. worldwide)....is....wait...

"estimated that as many as 12 percent of the company’s 202,000 workers worldwide could be cut"..estimated? and could be?

Ok, ok....So what you are saying is that by Ford not making a car that won't be made or sold in America; and isn't going to be profitable; and may have 24k out of 202k foreign workers laid-off is bad for America?

Now, i get it...you guys are totally unfamiliar with actually winning.

Man, I wish America was winning right now, but that is as much a lie as Drumpf's business success or his tax returns.The only people winning are malcontents and asshole men who don't care about the rest of the country.

Traitors. Traitors are winning. If we want to make America great again, we have to get rid of the damned traitors like Drumpf.

Interesting word salad, there, but Ford will still make that car you mention and sell it worldwide - it’ll just not bring it to these shores as it planned to next year. That’s pretty typical.

Meanwhile, tariffs have eaten into the company’s profits, costs are up, they’re dropping all passenger cars aside from the Mustang, and are considering some very large layoff numbers.

So, yeah - you don’t understand either MAGA or #winning. But, feel free to spit out another word salad for us.

Apparently, winning is where you fail over and over as a businessman and have a rich daddy to bail you out.

It's like the banker stealing all the 500 dollar bills out of the Monopoly money tray and claiming a shrewd victory. Only an idiot admires a cheater.
