Now, now, Ump. Just because the lunatic’s empty, imminent promises of the last two years never came true doesn’t mean the new empty, imminent promises won’t.
Oh, sorry...actually that’s EXACTLY what it means. My bad.

Oh, God. Now she’s back on the imaginary crime-train.
Honestly, I kind of feel sorry for her.

I bet when the workers got their dismissal notice, they went straight home and said to their family, “Honey, I have great news! I got laid off! Can you believe how lucky we are?”
The lunatic reaches new depths of dull-wittitude.

And just imagine what the American people are going to say, think, and feel when they find out that obama was corrupt inside and out?
I heard someone say on TV this morning, that when obama's crimes of spying on Trump, and millions of Americans, that you libs can forget about hearing anymore about getting rid of Trump.
He said it would be so explosive, it would knock every thing else off the news.
And sooner or later even the fake media will have to cover it.
You won't enjoy the next two years nearly as much as you did the last two.
And even after all of obama's crimes and attempts to undo Trump's election, Trump is still president, still winning, and on his way to reelection, and FOUR MORE YEARS KEEPING AMERICA GREAT.

And it's a real blessing for all these workers laid off that it didn't happen under obama's miserable economy.
Under obama's miserable economy, people were working two or three jobs, without insurance or other benefits just to eat. Because of obama's miserable economy, and even worse obama health care, employers were cutting hours to 30 for employees so they could avoid the high cost of just one more of obama's failures as a president.
Fortunately for all these thousands of workers, they will have no problem finding another job.
Currently there are 1.2 million more jobs available than there are people out of work. More RECORD BREAKING WINNING by Pres. Trump, since that has never happened in the history of this nation.
And just imagine how confident all those Trucking companies must feel to be wiling to spend 200,000 dollars for each of more than 42,000 new big rigs so they can take full advantage of Trump's economy.

In a Capitalist economy you will always have winners and you will always have losers just like a herd of buffalo the strong survive and the weak die. This makes the herd (the overall economy) stronger.
I know you Democrats think everyone should get a participation trophy but that's not going to happen.
What's important is Trump has accelerated the economy from the lackluster Obama economy:

You libs don't know what to look at to measure what a booming economy looks like. You're just clapping seals looking for anything you think will reflect negatively on Trump.
Ford is just one company with its own set of problems that have nothing to do with the rest of the country.
This is how you measure Trump's booming economy that effects every person in the nation. And these rigs cost far more than 60 thousand each. More like 200,000 each., And orders for these big rigs was the best quarter in history, and still booming.
North American Class 8 semi-truck orders hit 42,300 in September, up 92 percent from a year ago. The continued surge in big rig orders may be another signal of a booming U.S. economy as the freight market records its best quarter for sales in history. “The economy is surging right now, putting stress on shippers to find trucks to deliver goods on time,” Don Ake, FTR vice president of commercial vehicles, said in a statement. Truck fleets have been struggling with a shortage of trucks and drivers, while manufacturers are dealing with heavy backlogs. “The truck area is one part of the economy that you are seeing them having a hard time filling those jobs,” Lindsey Bell, an investment strategist for CFRA Research, said on FOX Business’ “Making Money with Charles Payne” on Thursday. “They’re probably going to have to increase the pay for some of those jobs.” Daimler AG, Navistar International Corp, Paccar Inc. and Volvo AB are the main truck makers in the U.S.

Right skeptic, ordinary working folks can't afford a new car, much less an over priced truck. Some businesses get big discounts.

All those trucks are $60,000 and over. Maybe that’s why they are not selling. When companies use robots to make and now to distribute then this will happen. Just like when they sent the jobs to China and Mexico. Sure you can sell a couch that used to be $2,000 for $1,000 now. But when nobody is working then the couch could be a $100 and it will still sit in the showroom floor because no one can afford to buy it. Robots and Chinese don’t buy American products on a American car lot or in an American store. Probably going to have to impose a tax on companies that use robotics and automation in the manufacturing and distribution of products for all the new folks going on welfare.

The last time I looked they had a lot of huge trucks for sale, they didn't seem to be selling very well, but perhaps they've all been sold by now.

Maybe but if you've been to Yadkin Valley recently you might think about the products and what is selling.

Yea Boy making America great alright....
Ford workers were informed by letter Monday that 500 salaried workers are getting laid off and will have to clean out their desks by the end of the week.
And that’s just the first of a wave of layoffs in the U.S. that is expected to hit 800 by the end of June and 7,000 worldwide by the end of August, Ford CEO Jim Hackett said in a letter to all employees.
Bearing the subject line “Smart Redesign Update,” Hackett wrote that the cuts will reduce the management ranks by 20 percent and result in annual savings to the company of $600 million. Ford’s move comes as the U.S. auto industry find itself united in opposition to President Donald Trump’s threats to impose tariffs on cars and car parts imported from the European Union and Japan.
Ford is not the only U.S. automaker to stage mass layoffs this year. General Motors in February announced it was laying off 4,000 white collar workers. And then in March, GM announced it was shuttering the sprawling Lordstown plant in Ohio and eliminating 1,700 hourly positions.
