Trump tweet attacks company moving plant to Mexico

President Trump tweeted Sunday evening about Indiana industrial company Rexnord, which is moving a plant and jobs to Mexico.

The tweet criticizing the company came shortly after a report on the industrial-bearings company aired on NBC’s “Nightly News.” 

Rexnord of Indiana made a deal during the Obama Administration to move to Mexico. Fired their employees. Tax product big that’s sold in U.S.

FYI Rexnord was just featured in a piece that aired on @NBCNightlyNews. https://t.co/vCCjkzEayg
