LOL, Trump's just looking for another wedge issue to try and pitch to his little Trumpeteers. He doesn't care about the American worker, he cares about lining his pockets, that's it.

I'm giggling at the image of a rough, tough, 'Murrican motorcycle rider cruising around on a Vespa, though.

The funny thing is those biker gangs only ride Harley's and other American built bikes which are few. They don't ride foreign bikes even if they are made in the US.

If they help Harley go under, they will be hurting themselves.

It was great timing for Ivanka to have folded her entirely non-American made apparel line. Would been awkward for her father to have called for its boycott.

This is what happens when you have an unthinking idiot in the White House.

From Feb 2017.

I kind of feel sorry for the Harley execs and workers getting thrown around like this.

Imagine having a bar fight in the car park with a load of bikies, and their leathers have Indonesian patches, and they ride 50cc bikes?

Hey Trump,

Kawasaki thanks you.

Nice work, Trump, Let’s see if we can push Harley stock to under $40. Cha-Ching!

First praise Harley Davidson then support a boycott of the same company.

Hey Trump followers. Where are you? We are waiting to hear that this is actually the fault of President Hillary and her Liberals, and the deep state.

She has political aspirations. Her and Jared are trying to fill in cracks for their image and finances.

The sons are "too simple" with too much dirt on their hands. She is scheming like her mother.

She like many wealthy generational families start off as criminals who try find a way to legitimize the family in the public once they reach a certain threshold to allow them further access to bigger criminals.

If Trump impose domestic higher (luxury category) taxation for guns or any weapons of NRA, much more money will come than Harleydavidson owners or few bikers in USA.

Harley anyway makes pretty ordinary bikes.

I maintain that Trump has absolutely no idea how things are manufactured in the modern world. His entire life experience is that he has a lot of money, he gives people money, and things magically show up on his doorstep. If he could coherently explain modern supply chains and logistics I would be shocked.

Arrrgh - If you think Trump has absolutely no idea how things are manufactured in the modern world, how how knowledge of this do ya think Obama has?

Trump pretty much knows how buildings are built - his business empire certainly has built enough of them.

Trump pretty much knows how buildings are built

He's not doing so hot with the wall and looks like costs will run into the 100s of billions. And look at his total failures of burning his investors (unlike a real businessperson like Bill Gates). He has so many failures like Trump University and Trump steaks and this transitions to his failures in his presidency like the Muslim ban. But one point is the stock market so does it matter that he said the N-word? Trump followers should not care.

No other bikes like the Harley - made to be customized by the owner to be personal
