This is so true .....and so rational that it will probably be disregarded by many on this forum. Literally hundreds of AMERICAN families in my small city have been able to go to work and make a living because Chrysler is now hiring again. Or small city had lost every single factory except 1 and people were losing their homes and many ended up homeless. Now they have hope again and you can not believe the difference it has made here and in other small communities in this area. Why you want them put out of a job and back on unemployment or welfare just so you can make some stupid political point is unforgivable.
My Toyota was built in California. Never had any problems to this day, knock on wood. Those cars are built to last. If I'm going to spend thousands of dollars for something, the first thing on my mind is quality and the furthest thing on my mind is politics.
Deciding not to purchase a particular make and model of automobile is a perfectly rational decision, but to boycott a company which employs thousands of American workers whose profits are necessary to repay the American taxpayer for some overwrought figment of an immature political imagination is not.
Deciding not to buy an inferior vehicle is a rational choice, regardless of the harm it may cause to the financial condition of the manufacturer. Americans had been doing that for a decade or two, and the government interfered by saving a company twice from its own poor performance.
Chrysler shouldn't have been rescued the first time. Then carmakers would have learned once and for all that the car business is a survival business.
It was bad business, and bad government, to rescue Chrysler (and of course GM).

That's not the rational the OP gave for not buying it. Deciding not to buy a vehicle because you don't like the politics of the current POTUS seems foolish to me.
