Not justifying it or waiving any kind of flag of approval, but that's not entirely surprising if true. Trump repeatedly mentioned Ford during his campaign and essentially used them as a poster for international greed and outsourcing jobs.. something that many companies do. But Ford was in the process of building out their big project (Mexico?), so they were an easy target that enough frustrated workers could appreciate.. and then flock to Trump.
There's a weird hunger to preserve ego and exert dominance among leadership in the Motor City, especially the auto industry.. and it's somewhat difficult to describe. Sure, you'll find that in any business, but it just feels "different" here. I'm sure the Fords felt personally attacked and they're not going to be quick to just forgive and forget.
