Trump and Harley-Davidson

[TheOldSchool]

Obama attacked American business and you said nothing. Of course Obama was lying, because we have never had a more corporatist pro-Wall Street POTUS than he.

Obama did not try to destroy any American business.

Trump just complained that they were leaving; said they "should not" he didn't "turn on them"

You fruit loops really need to learn comprehension... the normal kind, not that socialist, Marxist, "everyone is out to get you" crap you were taught in school...

 

[Indeependent]

After working hard to destroy American businesses such as Amazon, the Red Hen, all news media, the NFL, etc., Trump has now turned on former ally Harley Davidson, threatening to abuse the Presidency to destroy them.

'Never!': Trump fumes at Harley-Davidson in tariff tweetstorm

So you disapprove of Comparative Advantage?

 

[Nosmo King]

Isn't it amazing to watch the Trumpians circle the wagons? They'll throw Harley Davidson under the bus to defend,Trump trade policies. They never EVER criticize Trump but gleefully disdain institutions and brands and companies they have worshiped for generations. I know people who have committed to a Harley Davidson tattoo and today are making excuses for the decision to move off shore.

Cry me a river.Amazon was destroyed by radical leftards. Red Hen destroyed itself by being ignorant and uneducated., Harley Davidson dosent give a shit about the american people.

Amazon is fine, and Red Hen got the best advertising in their entire history. HD is probably finished though. How stupid of them to trust a Trump.

Red Hen fucked up badly, and now they are facing the backlash. Losing half their customers can't help much either, and the protests must be terrible for business. Their Yelp reviews just plummeted to.

Not all publicity, is good publicity.

Red Hen will profit bigly from the Trump admin’s assault. It’s in Hillary country and the left’s new favorite restaurant.

President Trump warned Harley-Davidson on Tuesday that if the company follows through on moving production of motorcycles sold in Europe overseas, “it will be the beginning of the end” — while saying the American icon would not be able to “sell back into the U.S. without paying a big tax.”

Well if they don't do it fk uhmm hopefully them trying to be smartasses and prove their loyal devotions to being anti american pricks screw them too.

Yeah Trump’s threat to tax them like “never before” is probably bullshit, just like everything else about him.

I wouldn't exactly call it throwing them under the bus, if Harley is going to leave America, well... ~shrug~ It's one company. Let me know when it's hundreds, then I'll bitch at Trump that his bluff has been called and he needs to try a different tact.

 

[TNHarley]

Harley's are over priced and over hyped, but it's bad to see them offshoring.

Harleys have their own thing going on, so i dont think they are over hyped. But they are overpriced.
My wideglide is 18 years old and its still worth around 8 - 8500. If it wasnt custom, probably around 7 or so.
Thats expensive IMO. But at least they hold value! lol

It is hundreds. Off shoring is happening at the fastest pace in years. Under Trump, US jobs are moving overseas even faster than before – Quartz

 

[Mac1958]

Harley's American customers are aging Boomers who in a few years won't be able to even swing a leg over a hog, much less ride one. In the rest of the world, their ONLY advantage is being the American icon of motorcycles.

So let's see if I've got this right.

Because Harley Davidson's target market is largely a group of people for whom you personally clearly have little respect - aging Americans - that makes it okay for an American President to attack the company as it tries to protect itself financially?

And are you aware that the same group of people for whom you have so little respect - aging Americans - is also the target of the Regressive Left, as it celebrates their increasing deaths every year?

Do you really want to run with this spin, just to protect Trump?

Could be a head-fake to see what how the President responds but he sees it as a double-cross after he touted their bikes and had them into the White House last year. He ain't playing and maybe today they understand that. The EU's hand will fold by Christmas...they can't survive without selling into our market.

They are doing what every single car company in the world does. But I guess they could stay here, instead of trying to save their dying business. No business or person should ever trust Trump or any member of his cabal.

Harley Davidson aren't real Americans.

Donald Trump is the only real American in the whooooooooooole world!

He's not a Kenyan and we can prove it...

the whole point of moving SOME production to Europe is so that they can sell those bikes IN Europe.

Sportsters.

I don’t know what hurts them worse; Trump’s threat to destroy them, or them being a American icon in a time where Trump is destroying America’s reputation.
