Are they still government owned? If so Trump needs to sell it off.
No longer, but the Government Motors name will last much longer than the period of government ownership, especially when you consider that Ford didn’t need a bailout.
GM is grateful for having been saved, but the government lost about $10 billion on the deal.

If GM, through their Cadillac division, is interested in acting as a propaganda arm of the government, that could be considered a payback of sorts, and a whiff of fascism.
As always, when something like this comes to light, the apology is not for doing it, it is for getting caught.
