You've missed the point as much as Theresa May misses her inherited Parliamentry majority. Ford no longer fears the President and yet another of his claimed victories is no more. The Standard describes the situation quite succinctly: |
No it doesn't.
You and The Standard have their facts misconstrued in a totally gung-ho fashion.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) - Ford will shift production of the Focus compact car from the United States to China. And in a first for the automaker, it will ship many of these cars back to the U.S. to sell.

Sounds bad, BUT here is the
BUT.........

But the move is more bad news for Mexico than it is for the United States. While the Focus has been built at the Michigan Assembly plant in Wayne, Michigan for years, Ford had previously announced plans to shift its production to Mexico. [B]Ford wants to make room for larger, more profitable vehicles at the Michigan plant, which employs 3,600. The factory won't lose any jobs as a result of the move.
Ford will start building its new small pickup, the Ranger, in 2018, after the Focus moves to China. In 2020, it will build the new Bronco, the SUV model it is bringing back, at the Michigan plant.
Ford also said Tuesday that it will invest $900 million in its Kentucky truck plant to build the new versions of the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator, there. It said that investment would protect 1,000 jobs at that plant.

Cannot see anything in that announcement that is devastating news for the U.S Jobs market. It's interesting when you delve a little deeper, rather than believe stuff, at face value, a problem you and some others have.
Thus, I have not missed any point actually.
As for the other failures mentioned in The Standard.
No wall that is thousands of miles long, can be built in 6 months. Pointed this out to you before.
Obamacare, it's not concluded yet.
The Travel ban, is being taken down the SC route, so it's not quite failed, they could overrule 9th Circuit Judge(s) and invoke his Executive Order or they may not, to say it's failed, means it's final.
They would be colossal failures, if he had not done all he said he was, by the end of his term(s), not months in to his early presidency.
