Yes you do... its an attempt to undermine and demean the brand, thus inflating their own brand in their minds, thus making themselves feel better.
These are all corporations whose stocks are sold in the stock market. Anyone can buy stock in any company and see any profit that is available. All these corporations pay taxes, salaries, import/export tariffs, etc. The US government collects an ABSURD amount of money from each manufacturer, no matter WHERE that company is headquartered. All this "American Company" talk is nonsense at this point. It just makes some people feel better about themselves...
