Ford did not move manufacturing to Ohio from Mexico because Donald Trump was elected president in November 2016.
Claim: After Donald Trump won the 2016 election, Ford decided to move production of their vehicles from Mexico to Ohio.
Mostly False
WHAT'S TRUE: CNNMoney reported that Ford had moved some manufacturing operations from Mexico to Avon Lake, Ohio, in August 2015.
WHAT'S FALSE: Ford's move antedated the election of Donald Trump by a full 15 months, and the two circumstances were entirely unrelated. A Ford spokesman affirmed the decision to move operations to Ohio occurred in 2011.
Although it was true Ford moved some of their manufacturing operations from Mexico to Avon Lake, Ohio, that change occurred in August 2015 and had nothing to do with the 8 November 2016 election of Donald Trump. Trump did not win the Republican nomination until July 2016, nearly one year after CNNMoney reported Ford's investment in their Avon Lake facility. An October 2015 article by the same outlet and writer reported that Ford had decided on the Ohio move back in 2011.
