Totally made up story.'
"Ford, however, said it neither planned to close the Louisville, Ky., plant nor reduce jobs there".
But that is far from the claim that "they rescinded closure of a plant because Trump told him to". They were going to start building Escapes (higher demand vehicle) at the Kentucky plant but decided to stick with the Lincoln model instead. That plant was not going to close - at least not in the near future.
Ok. Let's deconstruct his Tweet then, shall we?
-Trump's claim that "he just got a call" TRUE
-Trump's claim that Bill Ford is his "friend" FALSE
-Trump's claim that Bill Ford is chairman of Ford TRUE
-Trump's claim that Bill Ford advised him of something TRUE
-Trump's claim that the Lincoln plant is staying in Kentucky TRUE
-Trump's claim that the Lincoln won't be produced in Mexico TRUE
You're right. Bill Ford and Trump are not friends, so that is a "totally made up story". Props for pointing that out peppy!
Seriously though.. What the statement from Ford seems to be hinting at is that Trump's plan to dramatically lower corporate taxes would make things competitive enough for Ford to allow them to keep more production in the USA. You have to learn to read corporate speak and read between the lines.
"Today, we confirmed with the President-elect that our small Lincoln utility vehicle made at the Louisville Assembly Plant will stay in Kentucky. We are encouraged that President-elect Trump and the new Congress will pursue policies that will improve U.S. competitiveness and make it possible to keep production of this vehicle here in the United States."

They'd like it to be...

And now the impossible comes into focus...
Apple could make iPhones in US in future: sources
TAIPEI -- iPhones might one day soon carry "Made in America" labels.
Key Apple assembler Hon Hai Precision Industry, also known as Foxconn Technology Group, has been studying the possibility of moving iPhone production to the U.S., sources told the Nikkei Asian Review.
"Apple asked both Foxconn and Pegatron, the two iPhone assemblers, in June to look into making iPhones in the U.S.," a source said. "Foxconn complied, while Pegatron declined to formulate such a plan due to cost concerns."

So why on earth would Mr. Ford himself call Donald Trump to tell him? Just to kiss his ass? I doubt it, you think that call would have happened to Hillary? I think not. The bigger point here is the clear change in attitude and planning on the strategic corporate level. A Hillary presidency would have been business as usual and continued decline.

How much you wanna bet the crossover production was slated to move out of country but now stays here? As I said the strategic planning is now being influenced by the new reality. This is only one example and one board room. More where that came from, and thats good...no great.
The auto maker confirmed in a statement that production of the Lincoln MKC crossover will remain at its assembly plant in Louisville, Ky. Ford had initially planned to move output of the Lincoln model to another plant to boost production of the Escape, which is built at the same factory. The company didn?t say where it had planned to move production of the Lincoln crossover.
