UPDATE: Ford Motor Co. changes mind, won't insist Trump wear a mask during visit

UPDATE: 4:53 p.m. ET ― Officials for Ford Motor Co. have backpedaled on a decree that President Donald Trump wear a mask when he visits a plant in Ypsilanti, Michigan, on Thursday, Bloomberg reported.

However, the governor’s office has signaled it will not stand in the way of the visit, Whitmer spokesman Zack Pohl told Crain’s Detroit. “Our policy is that everyone wears PPE to prevent the spread of COVID-19,” a Ford spokesperson told The Detroit Bureau. “We shared all of Ford’s safety protocols, including our manufacturing playbook, employee pamphlet and self-assessment survey with the White House ahead of time and in preparation for this trip.”

PUNKASSES!!!

It would sure improve his looks, but ma be they have strong stomach.

PuestoLoco ⁉️FORD⁉️

****less wonders. And we trust you to be smart enough to care about your workers even though the President doesn't. Bend over to his every wish, no matter how dangerous that might be.

Why not? Hes not above the law! This is not North Korea! Leaders lead but this jack ass divides.

Sell the Ford stock

Fucking cowards

🖕 ford realDonaldTrump

He can visit the plant that just closed for several Covid19 infections...nomask

This FOOL CRIMINAL trump will fool around and be in the hospital just like he said virus was a HOAX perpetrated by the democrats and then went and played golf for 2 months before doing anything.

Shame on Ford. Inconsistency = risk. Make home wear a mask or visit elsewhere. The PR you get from a visit from likes of him is not worth it.

Aww damn Ford

Saw that coming.

Wussed out.

Just bow down and lick his shoes, why don’t you?

I would call in sick for the next week Ford workers, a potential mass spreader is coming into your place of work.

Abject and pathetic capitulation from Ford.

Trump wins again 🇺🇸. Tack on another loss for the media

Workers should block his entrance until he complies!

Ford pussies.

Ford please stand your ground for the safety of all!

What was Ford threatened with if they insisted on the mask? trump looks worse and worse every day. 😄

Shame on Ford for lowering their standards for a 'president' who has severely lowered the standards for the office. No more Fords for our family.

There always has to be an except for this detached deadbeat.

Trump probly told Ford motor company he wasn't about to wear one and they bowed down on their knees and said OK king trump

Brilliant decision Ford :

I can only imagine that Trump falls under CDC guideline that a person shouldn’t wear a mask if he can’t take it off himself. We’ve all seen his umbrella skills.

Would be ironic if Trump contracted the caronavirus COVID19 at (or near) the Ford plant due to his lack of precautions. Though the virus is smaller than the painter's masks (n95) filter, so won't matter.

Ford temporarily closes two plants after three workers test positive for coronavirus

Cowards...

Yet again, you are setting a poor example for the American people, realDonaldTrump. Wear the mask.

Time to ditch my Ford expedition, explorer

I won’t be buying a ford!

Uh DT is a walking Coronavirus. He's been Exposed several times, you might want to rethink this. 👇👇👇

🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓

When I was a kid ford stood for Found On Road Dead ... now they can say that about the employees !

Trump's refusal to wear a mask is same reason he doesn't wear a condom. Attitude that it's the other person's responsibility to wear protection to protect him. Like when screwing playboy models/porn stars THEY must be on the pill. News flash: condoms prevent STDs not just babies

Pussies

The mob thug...

ford, you absolute cowards.

Bad on you, Ford. Cowards.

Ford fvck you. BOYCOTT COMING.

Ford, you need to let science drive your decision making and science shows that masks are effective. No one should be allowed to enter the plant without one. This includes Trump, guess he’s never heard to lead by example!

So Ford, are you going to give your employees the 'At Ford Motor Company, your safety is our first priority' speech with a straight face? 🤪

If he does not wear a mask, he is not a smart man. Covid-19 is deadly and contagious. This is no hoax.

I'm gobsmacked.

Cowards

Shame on Ford for caving and shame on tRump for being DEAD wrong.

Boycott Ford!

God, he looks old and sickly in that photo. I mean, he looks pretty ugly in just about every photo, but this one kind of stands out.

Sorry they gave in to the bully.

That’s bullshit Ford!

Chicken Shit company. TrumpLiesAmericansDie

Why does anyone have to force him to wear a mask? Why can’t he just set a good example, since it’s what HIS administration recommends we all do?

Wrong! Trump does not walk on water!

Damn, those are some yuge bags under your eyes, Trump.

Remind me not to buy ford the next time I buy a car...

Cowards in Board and exec level at Ford. Just like most other corporations and GOP elected officials & Administration. All scared of Trump harming their power/business/money stealing.

Shame on you Ford.

Selling my stock tomorrow.

Who knew Ford tough folded so easily

Boycott ford for this

Cowards Ford

One more company to never buy from

Sounds like a plan FordTrucks No problems with Covid... you fucking chickens. Endangering Americans by having no back bone. Glad to have bought the Jeep i own

Ford is a bunch of cowards.

Fking LOADED up MORON ✔️💯

Ford just lost my future business, prioritizing realDonaldTrump over the safety of its employees. This isn’t the type of company I’ll support.

Dear Ford, realDonaldTrump should WearAMask😷, because FLOTUS says so. ProtectTheWorkers

PuestoLoco Because ....

Weak..

.Ford decided to take the political advantage of kowtowing to Trump's demands to not wear a mask over the safety of their own employees. How pitiful is that?

Being a President is taking its toll Trump is looking older due to the pressures most leaders do Obama gone white it is a stressful job

PuestoLoco Ford what a bunch of cowards.

Red Death Mask

Everyone rolls over for Daddy.

Ford Motor, which restarted its North American assembly plants this week, said on Wednesday that it stopped production temporarily at two plants in Chicago and Dearborn, Mich., after employees tested positive for the coronavirus.

He wasn’t going to wear one anyway.

Cowards.

Pussys

Hasn't Ford closed down plants for Coronavirus? Very disappointed in their stand down.

TravelingUS Shocking. I knew they would back down. For the life of me I just don’t know why they would let down their employees and sully their reputation for the likes of trump.

SHAME ON YOU UAWFORDDEPT ... Why would you allow workers to be in plant when Trump is there not wearing a mask!!!

Even the virus don't want to go near this moron.

Chicken💩s

JustSayNo to TyphoidTrump!

And they are having to shut down plants again because of the spike in cases!

Shame on FORD. Rules are for everyone else but him. Looks like the medication is working on him however.

Will never purchase another vehicle from this company. And we have traditionally bought your trucks. That’s over. Ford

Terrible example Ford

The employees should no call, no show then. Fuck Ford!

WOULD YOU NOT WEAR PANTS IF HE TOLD YOU TO?

Ford Tough? 🤣🤣🤣

Deny him, don't open the doors.

Selfish, teeny weenie ego dotard.

See if he’ll wear one of these masks ... and then go for a little ride.

Workers should have a mass cough-in. See how fast he whips out a mask.

How much did he pay them?

More rich assholes cowing to Trump, totally unconcerned with the health & safety of the employees involved.

No reason to wear masks during the visit. Science is unsettled on the efficacy of masks.

I’ll never buy another Ford. Done.

Of course, never will I drive a Ford car

That’s it. We’re a Chevy family now. Ford ... cowardly much?

Dear UAW ford please put your workers safety first! If workers are wearing mask, you should demand ANYONE who comes into the plants to follow the rules. What a crappy leader he is! FordMotorCompany TrumpIsTheWORSTPresidentEVER

Ford weak. Stand up for your workers.

Really? This is huat sad Ford

Was ford ever really any good? Ford kinda agreed with Nazis.

That’s why I don’t drive a Ford.

I knew Ford was going to cave. Exactly why Congress need to fight against any liability for employers. Pray for the workers, but hope any person sue if they contract COVID-19.

Turns out making Mark Fields the CEO was the second dumbest thing Ford has done recently.

.Ford You’re putting your own employees at risk in a pandemic For no good reason? Absolutely gutless and pathetic. Shame on you.

We all know why this girl won't wear a mask. Same reason he won't go out in the rain. His beautiful, fake, urine colored hair would get messed up.

Ford This is bullshit. Be better than this garbage.

Jennybing53 Of course they wont.

Everything is fine.

For Gods sake Ford do it for the principle of the matter. Weak!

Ford I’ve bought Fords literally my entire life. I never knew your company was so spineless. I was just going to trade my Edge for an Explorer. I think I’ll go Audi Q7 now. FordisSpineless

This is obviously something the White House pushed back on. His own CDC recommends PPE where other barriers aren’t available or feasible - and for some stupid reason, he thinks he’s above this. Setting an awful example. What a small, pathetic man

Wussies....

Weak.

ford Consider your LIABILITY!

Dear Leader can’t have his makeup smeared

Shocked....shocked I tell you.

Unreal

Ford when a bribe from realDonaldTrump can change everything !!

Ford - how pathetic and cowardly.

ford your management team will be meeting this guy. That’s a financial risk for your stockholders.

ford shame on you! You are putting you r employees at risk.

.Ford EMPLOYEES should refuse to go in. If wearing a mask is policy then .realDonaldTrump is NOT exempt and does not get to endanger my family.

Ford you don’t care about YOUR employees do you. Sad......

Plenty of other cars to buy. Won’t ever buy Ford again. Shame on them. boycottford

If Ford can't protect their employees, I don't want one of their vehicles.

Can one of the workers cough on him please?

I noted this would happen earlier. I knew they’d back down. Cowards. Hate that he’s coming to my state.

Dumb................

Weak ford

RiegerReport Buy Chevy!

very predictable. corporations have proven how gutless they are with trump. someone like lee iaocca - gee, Ford , I think he worked for you once - would have slapped a hood like trump down 5 years ago.

Breaking news...the news is broke... EMPhorror Cheeto wins again....

I'm driving a Ford now...but its the last one I buy.

Ford hope your cars are built stronger than your spineless cowardly CEO

I knew I should have put money on this. lol

So much for Ford Tough Ford

Ford doesn't care about their employees.

He is a walking talking menace

WHY, IS IT BECAUSE HE'S TAKING HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE?

Well ford so much for that BuiltFordTough. My F250 is very disappointed

I’m buying a new car this year but it won’t be a Ford. Trump is clear about one thing, he believes he is a God far above the people he works for.

GiveUsLiberty3 Cowards Ford. Pathetic!

I’ll never buy a ford again.

That's sad that businesses have to kiss the ring of this doofus.

Can everyone else not show up?

weak

It’s a loyalty test. Kiss the filthy ring, get the filthy lucre. Shameful behavior at Ford Motor Co.

Pussies

Why is everybody so afraid of confronting this lunatic?

FUCK Ford

Especially because Donald trump has been directly exposed to this I don't believe any doctor would give him the medication he's taking to prevent it Donald trump will be 74 years old and has heart disease I believe the president has covid doesn't care if anybody else gets it.

I knew it. He said 'we'll see about that' Which meant, I'll get them to change their policy for me. Such bs🙄

What a bunch of 🐈🐈 (not cats) Ford. Workers should turn their backs to this move. Ford company sets no example for their workers.

UAW do you stand strong for the health of your workers? Ford doesn't. Union members should protest Trump visit. If he doesn't wear a mask. Workers need to walk off. BoycottFord

I absolutely knew Ford would back down. We are living amongst absolute cowards.

They are instead allowing Trump to wear his traditional white hood.

I see Ford - there are rules for me, but not for thee. Don't be a coward, set a good example. You don't have to make a big deal, just say this is our policy and we expect everyone to follow it.

BevVincent Not so 'Ford Tough' after all... I wish they could have followed the courage of their convictions... someone should stand up to the bloated orange yam.

Of course they did.

Fuckin cowards.

Cowards.

They are a bunch of p**sy, and afraid to make him, then why make your employees, wear one. Who wants a hot breath in their face

ford what is wrong with you. Weak.😷😬

What would happen if any of the people running these plants or CEOs grew a pair? What would realDonaldTrump think if one of these people stood up to him?

I hope lots of people start coughing just for the hell of it.

RiegerReport If 60% of people wear masks that are at least 60% effective, the epidemic stops. WEARING MASKS mimics HERD IMMUNITY.

Trump doesn't do VIRTUE SIGNALING!!!!

Jfc

Shows me that Ford does not care about employee or public safety. I will never buy a car from this company.

Every hourly employee at that plant should call in sick the day that fat old man comes around

they are chicken to say anything... they shouldn't wear a mask around him either then

The mask takes off his makeup.

Not acceptable, he of anybody should be setting the example for proper protocol. He has a responsibility to the citizens of America to do what he can to stay healthy. Arrogant, self centered,idiot.

So those making decision concerning this topic are chicken sh*ts just like everyone else he surrounds himself with. Good to know.

We All knew that..Those Big company’s are afraid of Trump😱

Ford is a bunch of cowards. If I worked for you, I’d decide it was time to take vacation leave. For about 2 weeks

Why does every cave to him? That is the problem. We have a freaking dictator in charge of our American Democracy. The people that placate him are as guilty as he is.

cmarinucci boycottFord

AJDelgado13 So, 45's feelings are more important than worker safety. Not surprising. Ford certainly doesn't merit a bailout then, does it?

eff him

Lemme guess, he threatened them with sanctions.... 😒 🇺🇸

This is chickensh*t, Ford, and needlessly endangers your employees.

cmarinucci That’s disappointing and disgusting.

I knew it! I said that yesterday when the news came out. Cowards.

Lol! That’s what I thought! Liberal tears are coming! Lol winning trumpsyourdaddy

highbrow_nobrow What freeking joke!

Shame on you Ford

And he gets his way, again! Never seen anything like the constant pandering to this manchild! WHY

What a shocking update. Who didn’t see this coming

RiegerReport Above the law.

NotFordTough

highbrow_nobrow Ford proves again to let the American public down.

highbrow_nobrow Cool, the more potential exposure the better! 😃👍🏻

Wow. Then do t make anyone wear a mask, including the workers. Damn

RiegerReport Of course they did. Fearful of retaliation from the mob boss.

AJDelgado13 Ford , way to stick up for your workers,disgusting joke of a company.

If one of Ford’s workers were exposed to an infected family member, they’d be in a 2 week quarantine. But Trump gets a free pass cause he can give them tax cuts and regulatory relief.

Pasqualiba Well this says boycott all Ford cars etc.

RiegerReport I have never been so disappointed in Ford Mo Co as I am now. Ford have you no concern for the people who will be with him in the plant? 45 has been exposed to covid19 multiple times. He is likely a carrier. Him wearing a mask would protect others from him. Shame on Ford

UAW will you let your Union brothers and sisters die on the shop floor for this man? Solidarity!

He's the child no one ever said 'no' to.

And that's the problem in a nutshell. No one ever dares to stand up to him or say no. It made him the lovable character he is today😕

BREAKING NEWS: We already knew this would happen.

What's the deal with places like Ford and MayoClinic? They allow Trump to bully them into submission and ignore health and safety practices? For what? They must have a Trump board member pressuring them....

RiegerReport Fucking cowards.

Ford needs Trump’s visit that badly?

For more cartoons subscribe to

Lmao

With all the safe guards Ford has put into place to keep its people safe all this time its a damn shame they can’t stand up to this Punk we call a President.

Pendejos

He's such a role model. Not.

Of course Ford changed it's mind!

realDonaldTrump has a micropenis

What a bunch of wimps.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
