Donald Trump: 700 New Ford Jobs ‘Just the Beginning’

President-elect Donald Trump is celebrating Ford Motor Company’s decision to keep 700 jobs in the United States instead of shipping them to Mexico.

“Thank you to Ford for scrapping a new plant in Mexico and creating 700 new jobs in the U.S,” he wrote on Twitter. “This is just the beginning – much more to follow.”

Since he was elected president, Trump has persuaded companies to stop moving jobs to Mexico and keeping them in the United States.

In November, Trump worked with his Vice President-elect Indiana Governor Mike Pence to cut a deal with Carrier, keeping about 1,000 jobs in the state.

Trump also praised Sprint’s plan to create 5,000 jobs in the United States and OneWeb’s decision to create 3,000 more jobs.

this is the hope we have needed for a long time. Too bad Obama was all talk and his crowning thing was Obama Care.

A restaurant opens and creates jobs - like busboys and wait staff.

Manufacturing jobs create other support jobs linked to them.

This is great news.

Who's going to be buying all these cars? If you look around while driving you'll see that most cars on the road are not American made cars.

He's not even President yet, and he's done more than Nobama did in any 2 months of his term! And, 5:11, I'm sure the 10,00 so far who will keep and get new jobs will need to upgrade their cars to get to work, as well as the next 100,000 next year new manufacturing employees will.

You go, Donald! Glad I paid $ into your campaign!
