Trump As President: He'd Fight Plan By Ford Motor To Move Production To Mexico
BIRCH RUN (WWJ) - The Republican front-runner in the 2016 Presidential campaign, Donald Trump, spent part of Tuesday evening in Michigan.
Trump told enthusiastic supporters at the Birch Run Expo Center that he wants to "make America great again," and spoke of marketing ideas such as re-branding. Only instead of a corporation, he's talking about 're-branding' the United States.
"They say I've done a good job with branding, someone said 'boy if you could do some branding for the United States because we have a country where the brand has been so badly hurt,'" Trump told the crowd.
Trump, who is leading in the GOP polls, says he wants to continue to run as a Republican.
"I can only go by the polls, you just look at the results, I guess Iowa just came out a little while ago - leading in Iowa, leading in New Hampshire, leading in North Carolina, leading in South Carolina, leading in Nevada, leading everywhere," said Trump.
One of 17 Republican candidates in the race, he also took on President Barack Obama in the speech, speaking again of the Iran nuclear deal calling it 'horrendous.'
He called Mexico the new China.
In part of his long speech where he covered many topics, Trump said as president he would fight Ford Motor Company's decision to move production south of the border.
"Ford is building a $2.5 billion plant in Mexico," he roared to a packed auditorium in Birch Run, Michigan, and 2,000 voices responded with lusty boos. "I'll actually give them a good idea. Why don't we just let the illegals drive the cars and trucks right into our country?"
