That's a bit silly.
Take a look inside the chassis of a Jet City amp to educate yourself. The old ones are all designed by Mike Soldano and made to his specs; the newer ones are more designed in-house, but still made in the same factory and have the same build quality as the others. I've had a lot of Jet City amps over the last 6 or 7 years, and they've always been rock-solid...more to the point, I always get a "wow, I didn't expect it to be that well-made" comment from amp techs servicing them.
They're made in China.
It's also noticeable that the new Vietnamese-made Marshall DSLs are more reliable than the previous UK-made series. Likewise with Fender and the Hotrods which are now made in Mexico instead of the US, which may not please Trump .
It's nothing to do with where they're made - all to do with the design and quality management. You can have a great amp made anywhere in the world and a crap one likewise.

Country of origin wouldn't concern me in the least with an amp.

Funny, I saw the inside of an Engl thunder 50 head and it looked fairly flimsy and loads of wires all over the place.

Guitars however I would definitely care a lot more. A couple of low frets or a misshapened neck can make all the difference between a great guitar and a terrible one.
