All Hail President Trump, Job-Saver Extraordinaire! (Well, Maybe Not.)

A pair of Trump tweets:
Just got a call from my friend Bill Ford, Chairman of Ford, who advised me that he will be keeping the Lincoln plant in Kentucky - no Mexico
And:
I worked hard with Bill Ford to keep the Lincoln plant in Kentucky. I owed it to the great State of Kentucky for their confidence in me!
Well done, Donald! Great news! You salvaged a bunch of Kentucky jobs that nefarious Ford had been planning to send to Mexico!

Well, not quite.

There was never any plan or intention to send Lincoln production to Mexico. They are planning to move small vehicle production to Mexico; that plan remains unchanged.
