Well, there are two possibilities. One is that both the President of Ford Motor Company and head of the auto workers union conspired to purposefully undermine the President-elect for no reason (because neither had anything to gain by doing so). The other is that a man who has shown a consistent disregard for the truth in the past, particularly when it comes to his own "achievements," again exaggerated about what he did. People can draw their own conclusions as to which of the two is more likely.

This is why "fact checking" helped lose you the election. Your quibble with his tweet, which, at best, has a teeny bit of bravado about it, is the equivalent of pointing out a spelling error.

I wasn't running for office, so nothing "lost" me anything. It's sad that you identify things like a candidate running for office on such a personal level that you would feel like people "win" or "lose" other than the candidates. I didn't vote for him, but I hope he is a great President.

But it might be even more sad that you'd attack someone for pointing out a falsehood claimed by the President elect and then further your argument by disregarding the fact and equating an obviously untrue embellishment to a spelling errror when the two are not the same. What Mr. Trump claimed wasnt true and, when it was pointed out to you, you argued that his opponents were being misleading when, in fact, it was Trump being misleading. Now you try to justify it by arguing that claiming that a plant relocation was avoided when no plant relocation was ever contemplated is a de minimum typo? Pathetic.

Philippine co-worker here on a H1 visa has kids with US citizenship. Did the same thing couple years ago.
It's referred to as either 'Birthright Tourism' or 'Birth Tourism' and is HUGE in California.
