Trump Says It's Actually A Good Thing' Ford Can't Hire Enough Workers: You're Gonna Have a Thing Called Robots'
"I know, but that's a good thing, Tony. That means it's vibrant. You could also have things where you have so many people and they can't get jobs. It's true, we are doing so well it's hard. Now what's going to happen is people are being trained rapidly and you're gonna have a thing called robots, and robots are gonna be a big factor."
"During his visit to the plant on Tuesday, Trump flipped off a Ford worker and said f*ck you after the employee called him a pedophile protector. In a statement to CBS News following the incident, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung defended Trump's response, saying, A lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage, and the President gave an appropriate and unambiguous response. Watch above via CBS News."
Ford reported 5,000 open mechanic jobs and difficulty finding willing and able workers. The tight labor market was described as a positive sign of a vibrant, strong economy. Companies and training programs are rapidly training people to fill open positions. A prediction was made that robots will become a significant factor and help address labor shortages.
