Trump's Auto Bailout Inconsistency Could Leave Michigan Cold
All eyes will be on Donald Trump Monday as he tries to pivot his campaign following a week of bad press. The GOP nominee will seek to seize the mantle of "blue collar billionaire" during a major speech on the economy in Detroit.
However, the real estate mogul's history of vacillating over whether or not the U.S. government should have come to the aid of the American auto industry amid the Great Recession could provide a distraction from his newfound populist and protectionist message, which is being aimed squarely at Midwestern swing voters.

In an interview with The Detroit News that same month, Trump floated the idea of shifting auto production to states outside of Michigan to drive down the salaries of workers and suggested that the state would "
lose) a couple of plants" but "all of sudden you'll make good deals in your own area."
In that same interview, Trump mentioned a letter he'd received from Ford CEO Mark Fields regarding the company's plans to invest in Mexico, which the eventual GOP nominee criticized this June and promised to single-handedly stop earlier in the year. Trump called it a "very, very nice letter" that nevertheless failed to justify Ford's initiative south of the border.
But according The Detroit News, a Ford spokesperson said the letter actually detailed the "$6.2 billion we have invested in our U.S. plants since 2011 and our hiring of nearly 25,000 U.S. employees."
