Speaking at women’s event in Washington, President Donald Trump pointed to this good news as proof of his policies.
"We’re making incredible progress," he said Jan. 16. "Toyota is now moving back. Mexico — it’s very interesting — Chrysler is leaving Mexico and moving back to Michigan. You haven’t heard that one in a while."
In this fact-check, Polifact looked at whether Chrysler is leaving Mexico and returning to Michigan.
Chrysler is shifting truck production to the United States, but not at the expense of jobs or plants in Mexico. So the claim is half truth at best. Words matter mr. President...
The Mexican plant will start making another kind of vehicle, and the company expects no change in the number of workers.
There is no question though that the company’s billion dollar investment will add many new jobs in Michigan where Chrysler has long had a presence.

Trump said that Chrysler is leaving Mexico and moving back to Michigan. The company does plan to spend $1 billion to shift production of Ram trucks from Saltillo, Mexico, to Warren, Mich. However, this is no zero-sum game where a U.S. gain is Mexico’s loss.
The Mexican plant will start making another kind of vehicle, and the company expects no change in the number of workers.

We rate this claim Half True.
Polifact gave Trump half credit for intent, which in this case is more than fair.
I am still at a loss why there is no basic fact checking for Trump's speeches and Twitter messages. It's easy enough to make sure such nuances are cleared, avoiding embarrassing corrections.

2,500 Americans got new jobs, which (provided they are qualified enough) they would be able to get domestically in any case. Hundreds millions Americans lost the ability to buy cheaper trucks because their production cost increased, competition weakened and the supply/demand balance shifted. Did Americans win as a result? Obviously not.
