Trump just stopped Ford from moving a Kentucky Lincoln plant to Mexico.

Guess I was wrong!

PBGC agreed to cover part of the pension payments, the union agreed to cover some, the rest is covered by whatever was left of the company fund. IIRC the total came to about 80% of the full monthly amount.

Other than mentioning the loss of pension and obligatory blaming of the president at a rally while in the area, the process had NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with Trump.

Trump is an opportunist credit grabber and nothing more. The problem is that people are eating it up. I was also recently informed that "The DOW has jumped up over 18,000 since Trump won........".

Looks like we're in for the long haul with this idiocy, John.

What, from your perspective, is wrong with Flynn? He's a life long Democrat, if that counts for anything.

Contrast this with the reporting on election night that stock futures were cratering once it became clear that Trump would be the president elect.

I'm suprized the market recovered that quickly, and relieved. The market likes stability, and allies of influence in politics.
