Trump chides Harley-Davidson in tariff row

"
Donald Trump criticises Harley-Davidson for decision over tariffs"

So, Trump is criticizing Harley-Davidson for moving production to Europe where it won't suffer from debilitating tariffs in the EU or China.

These are the Tariffs that Trump managed to get imposed.

So why is he blaming a company for trying to remain profitable? He'd do the same thing in similar circumstance. He'd make his company more profitable over the desires of a different president.

That it's HIS POLICY that caused the company to move, and yet he's blaming the company, shows just how arrogant the guy is.

‘Trump said Monday he was "surprised" by Harley-Davidson's announcement that it will move some of its production out of the U.S. to avoid European Union tariffs.

Trump again accused the EU of engaging in trade practices that "hurt" the American economy.’

What’s hurting the American economy is Trump’s reckless, irresponsible, and wrongheaded trade policies.

Trumps tax cuts saved HD 25 million
HD has long stated they want 50 pct of their business outside the USA and around the world
FW fell for the trap of blaming tariffs,when HD wanted the heat of unions of their backs for the move. And the tariff gave them the perfect cover

"A Harley-Davidson should never be built in another country-never! Their employees and customers are already very angry at them. If they move, watch, it will be the beginning of the end - they surrendered, they quit! The Aura will be gone and they will be taxed like never before!

Early this year Harley-Davidson said they would move much of their plant operations in Kansas City to Thailand. That was long before Tariffs were announced. Hence, they were just using Tariffs/Trade War as an excuse. Shows how unbalanced & unfair trade is, but we will fix it

We are getting other countries to reduce and eliminate tariffs and trade barriers that have been unfairly used for years against our farmers, workers and companies. We are opening up closed markets and expanding our footprint. They must play fair or they will pay tariffs!

When I had Harley-Davidson officials over to the White House, I chided them about tariffs in other countries, like India, being too high. Companies are now coming back to America. Harley must know that they won’t be able to sell back into U.S. without paying a big tax!

We are finishing our study of Tariffs on cars from the E.U. in that they have long taken advantage of the U.S. in the form of Trade Barriers and Tariffs. In the end it will all even out - and it won’t take very long!" - Trump

Harley Davidson is no great loss. Let them go where they will.

Trump is a mess. Bullshit in a china store

Ben Sasse didn't mess around

For lawmakers in Congress – they don’t seen this as ‘winning,’ as members in both parties bluntly said the President shouldn’t be surprised by the Harley-Davidson move, continuing to argue that Mr. Trump’s tariffs will only cause domestic economic collateral damage.

“The problem isn’t that Harley is unpatriotic – it’s that tariffs are stupid,” said Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE). “They’re tax increases on Americans, they don’t work, and apparently we’re going to see more of this.”

“Unfortunately, this confirms my concerns and is a far too predictable outcome of policies that give companies like Harley-Davidson incentive to make their products elsewhere,” said Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) of the Harley-Davidson decision.

Last week at a Senate hearing, lawmakers of both parties gave a tongue lashing to the Secretary of Commerce over the President’s tariffs, as the gulf grows between Congress and Mr. Trump over trade.

Asked directly about the loss of jobs in the state of Wisconsin because of the Harley-Davidson move, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders jabbed at European governments, but didn’t directly answer a question about it.​

Will Republicans grow a pair and put an end to this stupidity?
