I am not a Ford fan, but I do trust his motives. He doesn't want the US to destroy us because he wants to continue enriching himself and his friends. Trade wars are bad for capitalism. He is a capitalist. Free trade is good at making people rich. Trade wars are not.

So no, I don't think Ford is pro-Trump. He's pro-profit and when Trump was all about business, he supported some of what Trump said, now that Trump has shown he is anti-business, Ford is against him.

There is no doubt in my mind.
