And everyone knows King Donnie is pay-for-access and pay-for-play... Every relationship in his life is 100% transactional, "What's in it for ME?" like the low-rent wannabe mob boss that he is... So any corporation that isn't already in line to curry favor with our benevolent dictator will get left out in the cold.

And FoMoCo knows that Donnie isn't above getting his toadies in Congress to pass legislation specifically tailored to hurt Detroit automakers... Doesn't even matter how many strings they just pulled to make Michigan turn red for Donnie last month... So this should surprise nobody.
