The Detroit Free Press and Fox News reported that day that Ford was moving all its small car production down to Mexico, giving him the perfect lead-in.

Trump made his remarks at a Flint water plant, and was later a black pastor cut him short when he began attacking his Democratic rival, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
