AMERICA FIRST IN ACTION: Trump Tours Ford Factory with Top Economic Team

President Donald Trump is doing what he does best β€” standing shoulder-to-shoulder with American industry and the workers who make this country run.

The 47th President touched down at Ford's legendary River Rouge plant in Michigan on Tuesday, flanked by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Ford's top brass, including Executive Chairman Bill Ford and CEO Jim Farley. This isn't a photo op, folks β€” this is a Commander-in-Chief who understands that America's economic future is built on factory floors, not in Washington bureaucracies.

The Billionaire Builder Returns to the Heartland

While the Biden administration spent four years lecturing automakers about electric vehicle mandates and pushing green fantasies that would have gutted the American auto industry, President Trump is taking a different approach. He's listening. He's touring. He's working directly with the people who actually build things in this country.

The River Rouge plant isn't just any factory β€” it's a symbol of American industrial might, a facility that helped build the Arsenal of Democracy during World War II. And now it's hosting a president who actually believes in American manufacturing.

A Team Ready to Deliver

Having Secretary Bessent on hand speaks volumes about this administration's priorities. This isn't just a feel-good tour β€” it's economic policy in action. With Plant Manager Corey Williams also joining the walkthrough, Trump is getting the ground-level perspective that Washington elites so often ignore.

After years of watching the previous administration wage war on traditional energy and burden manufacturers with impossible regulations, American workers finally have a president in their corner again. The question now is: how quickly can this administration undo the damage and unleash American industry?

Stay tuned, Patriots. This is just the beginning.

Love seeing Trump with his economic team at Ford. Does anyone know if they discussed the new trade deals during the tour? I'm curious about how this will impact parts sourcing from overseas suppliers.

From what I read, they focused mainly on domestic production targets, but I'm sure trade policy came up in private discussions.

This is what real leadership looks like - getting out there and talking to the people who actually build America.

Finally! A president who actually understands manufacturing and puts American workers first. My brother works at a Ford plant in Michigan and says the difference in morale since Trump's policies is night and day.

Same here in Ohio! Our plant has been hiring again after years of layoffs.
