More than a year ago, Ford Motor Company announced it would no longer be producing the Ford Focus in Mexico. Instead, it would shift production to China.
Now, that plan, too, has changed. Ford canceled the production plans for China, citing the tariff war, according to Bloomberg.
President Trump took to Twitter to express his excitement over the move. Not over a canceled deal, per se, but what it could mean for American workers:
He added an explanation regarding how auto tariffs between China and the U.S. have worked up until now. Trump made a case for fairness in trade with his tweet:

However, his excitement for American workers may have been premature. The Washington Times reported that in a statement, Ford said production of the Focus would not shift to America.
“It would not be profitable to build the Focus Active in the U.S. given an expected annual sales volume of fewer than 50,000 units and its competitive segment. Ford is proud to employ more U.S. hourly workers and build more vehicles in the U.S. than any other automaker.”
WKTV noted that President of Ford North America, Kumar Galhotra, elaborated further during a Detroit press conference Friday. “Basically, this boils down to how we deploy our resources.”
Should President Trump keep pressure on China to give in on tariffs?

“Any program that we’re working on requires resources — engineering resources, capital resources. Our resources could be better deployed at this stage.”
It is unknown at this time what Ford plans to do with their Ford Focus production. Perhaps as part of his “This is just the beginning” promise, Trump can figure out a way to help them with their ‘resource deployment’ problem.
If so, those jobs could come to the U.S.A. anyway, despite expected lower sales.

Between that and no tariffs, the bottom line may benefit for the company.
Regardless, China just lost out, again. And in that battle, it means Trump just won again.

And now China has one more reason, in a growing list of them, to play ball with Trump on tariffs. Whether the country will or not, however, is yet to be seen.
Currently, the agricultural industry and Joann Fabrics are among those keeping a close eye on the tariff war with China. Both have expressed concerns over lost jobs and revenue if the situation does not get resolved favorably.
For its part, China has worked on a PR campaign to potentially influence voters to side with Democrats who would be against tariffs. They even made an animated ad featuring a talking almond.
They’ve also hit Trump and his tariffs on their CGTN YouTube channel. Although it was not animated, another almond video also hits the tariffs and appeals to the plight of American farmers impacted by the battle.

‘Brazilian Trump’ Stabbed by Left-Wing Terrorist During Rally
‘Brazilian Trump’ Stabbed by Left-Wing Terrorist During Rally
Election frontrunner seriously injured after attack
left-wing terrorist during a campaign rally yesterday just a month
before Brazil’s election.
Video footage of the incident shows election frontrunner Jair
Bolsonaro being led through a crowd on the shoulders of supporters in
Juiz de Fora city before a man stabs him in the front.

Police have charged 40-year-old Adelio Bispo de Oliveira in
connection with the attack. The culprit is a socialist whose Facebook
page featured anti-Bolsonaro posts, according to police. Bispo de
Oliveira claims he was on ‘a mission from God’.
Although it was originally thought that Bolsonaro had escaped serious
injury, his son later said that Bolsonaro arrived at hospital “almost
dead” and lost a lot of blood.
The hospital said Mr Bolsonaro suffered a perforated intestine,
describing his condition as “stable.” He will spend a week in hospital
and take at least a month to recover.
News outlets like CNN
reacted to the stabbing by smearing Bolsonaro’s character, accusing him
of “making racist, sexist and homophobic remarks” and all but saying he
deserved it.
Bolsonaro is a populist who has vowed to fix the country’s crumbling economy and address Brazil’s rampant corruption.
Jair Bolsonaro, frontrunner for the presidency in Brazil, was stabbed in the stomach while being carried on the shoulders of a crowd of supporters at a campaign rally in Juiz de Fora.

BuzzFeed Writer Admits Lobbying Twitter to Ban Alex Jones
BuzzFeed Writer Admits Lobbying Twitter to Ban Alex Jones: Charlie Warzel flagged 'offensive' video and Twitter terminated Jones' account
BuzzFeed senior technology writer Charlie Warzel admitted
that he lobbied Twitter to ban Alex Jones and got his wish shortly
after.
Jones was permanently banned by Twitter yesterday for being mean to
CNN’s senior media reporter Oliver Darcy during a confrontation in
Washington, DC.
“I reached out to twitter — independently of anyone — to inquire
about one of yesterday’s tweets from AJ,” tweeted Warzel, adding that he
“eventually got a response.”
This could only have been the video in which Jones confronts Darcy, the video that got him banned.
Twitter then informed Warzel they were going to ban Jones and made him agree to an embargo before reporting the news.
In other words, Warzel abused his platform to pressure Twitter into terminating Jones’ account and they duly complied.
This is yet another example of a mainstream media corporation lobbying Big Tech to have its competition shut down.
Warzel is another journalist who has a creepy obsession with Alex Jones and has been following him around for over a year.
His behavior mirrors that of Oliver Darcy, who relentlessly lobbied
YouTube, Facebook and Twitter to ban Jones for over 6 months before it
happened.

know
this won’t be met w/ good faith but there are some out there who might
just be confused. tweets like one below suggest something nefarious.
here was my process. i reached out to twitter — independently of anyone —
to inquire about one of yesterday’s tweets from AJ. pic.twitter.com/0Z1qYqGAev
eventually
got a response but had to agree to an embargo (an incredibly standard
journalistic practice for a national news story with lots of interest)
most journos accept begrudgingly bc its better to have the info than
not.
