   Which means they are missing the "Red States" that actually decided the   
   election... PA, NC, OH, MI, WI.  KY has very few electoral votes in   
   comparison to most of those.  We could go red, blue, or some other wild   
   color and we make no difference.   
      
   IMHO, they are targeting the little red states to posture that they are   
   doing something "vengeful" but are too afraid to target the states that   
   actually have many people living in them... the ones that actually decided   
   the election... that could actually retaliate back.

   I don't see it as a charity.  Maybe Trump does.  I suspect it more likely   
   made some sort of business sense, as you also do.  Businesses are generally   
   going to do what makes them money and less of what fits their political   
   ideology... that is, if they want to stay in business!  ;)

   I would not have any qualms about buying an "American" car built in Canada.   
    For that matter, I'd not have any qualms about buying a Canadian one but,   
   to my knowledge, there have been no Canadian specific makes/models since   
   the last years of Studebaker production.  ;)
