In most case, no. Especially when when reviews are posted on the original manufacturer’s websites. Most manufacturers will not allow negative reviews since they don’t want to hurt their marketing.
Case in point:
President Elect Donald Trump seems to think that he can use his office as President to help his businesses across the globe. Only 12 days after winning the election, he has already tried to ask for a favor from the British Prime minister and has had his daughter Ivanka in meetings with two world leaders without as much as a security clearance. The Hypocrisy is staggering after Trump and his goons hounded Hillary Clinton with a mythical “Pay to Play” conspiracy theory over her involvement with the Clinton foundation. The question once again has to be raised, does Trump want to be President? Is it possible that he will use his office to secure a few favors and then leave Mike Pence holding the bag.

Donald Trump, now our “president”, harassed President Obama for years about his US citizenship. Trumps money, erratic behavior and bullying of the press made this headlines for years. The press grabbed every opportunity to give as much free publicity to Trump as was possible. Headlines didn’t tell folks about the economy, recovering from recession, the fight for equal rights, etc., they just focused on the outlandish exploits of Donald Trump.

The rhetoric of Donald Trump says he wants to waterboard. The CIA front line just might revolt to such a dictatorial command from our chief “executive”.
Trump said at a Republican primary debate in February, that he would ‘bring back a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding.”
“I don’t give a damn what the president of the United States wants to do. We will not waterboard,” Senator John McCain(R-AZ) told an audience at the annual Halifax International Security Forum. “We will not torture people … It doesn’t work.”

As a child, George Takei, his siblings and parents, all United States citizens, were forced into an internment camp for Japanese-Americans, as a “security” measure during World War II. Seventy years later, Takei looks back at how the experience shaped his surprising, personal definition of patriotism and democracy.

Inclusion and Tolerance in the Workplace
11/10/2016
This year’s presidential election was undoubtedly divisive and left many of our employees feeling concerned. In response, I wrote a company-wide email that was intended to advocate for inclusion and tolerance — regardless of political affiliation — during this time of transition for our country.
Some of the statements in my email (please see full text below) have been misconstrued. I want to clarify that I did not ask for anyone to resign if they voted for Trump. I would never make such a demand. To the contrary, the message of the email is that we do not tolerate discriminatory activity or hateful commentary in the workplace, and that we will stand up for our employees.
Grubhub welcomes and accepts employees with all political beliefs, no matter who they voted for in this or any election. We do not discriminate on the basis of someone’s principles, or political or other beliefs.
I deeply respect the right of all citizens to vote for the candidate of their choice. In fact, I offered extra flexibility on Tuesday and encouraged all our employees to go vote. There is a place for all points of view at Grubhub. We value diverse perspectives and believe those perspectives help to create a better product and a better workplace culture.
Grubhub’s leadership team has worked for years to create a culture of support and inclusiveness. I firmly believe that we must bring together different perspectives to continue innovating. We are better, faster and stronger together, and so is America.

SUBJECT: So… that happened… what’s next?
I’m still trying to reconcile my own worldview with the overwhelming message that was delivered last night. Clearly there are a lot of people angry and scared as the antithesis of every modern presidential candidate won and will be our next president.
While demeaning, insulting and ridiculing minorities, immigrants and the physically/mentally disabled worked for Mr. Trump, I want to be clear that this behavior – and these views, have no place at Grubhub. Had he worked here, many of his comments would have resulted in his immediate termination.
We have worked for years cultivating a culture of support and inclusiveness. I firmly believe that we must bring together different perspectives to continue innovating – including all genders, races, ethnicities and sexual, cultural or ideological preferences. We are better, faster and stronger together.
Further I absolutely reject the nationalist, anti-immigrant and hateful politics of Donald Trump and will work to shield our community from this movement as best as I can. As we all try to understand what this vote means to us, I want to affirm to anyone on our team that is scared or feels personally exposed, that I and everyone else here at Grubhub will fight for your dignity and your right to make a better life for yourself and your family here in the United States.
If you do not agree with this statement then please reply to this email with your resignation because you have no place here. We do not tolerate hateful attitudes on our team. I want to repeat what Hillary said this morning, that the new administration deserves our open minds and a chance to lead, but never stop believing that the fight for what’s right is worth it.
Stay strong,
Matt
