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!

1. Lol he's so angry about this. That's his third tweet about them in an hour.

[demmiblue]

7. I know!

[BSdetect]

2. We need to get rid of this monster asap

[Docreed2003]

3. How is this megalomaniac allowed to continue with crap like this AGAIN AND AGAIN!??

Trump is threatening an American country for reacting to his own moron policies. We say it every day but this is not normal, yes, but for the president to come out and slam a country in this fashion is disgusting! How the hell has this been normalized??

[workinclasszero]

23. MSM: FOR GOD'S SAKE BE POLITE!!111!11!11

Don't wanna upset the baby stealing, toddler imprisoning fascist GOP/Trump as they rip apart this country now!

[Blue_Adept]

4. Burn it all to the ground

[bullwinkle428]

5. So he's gone from trying to destroy a restaurant, to trying to destroy

America's largest motorcycle manufacturer.

[janterry]

6. Can someone explain how Trump can use taxes vindictively

It this really his RIGHT as president?

HD can build their motorcycles wherever they damn well please. So can anyone else. I don't get how he can have this kind of power.

Does he??

(and the irony - the president who pays no taxes can do this........)

[Orsino]

25. He can't.

He just doesn't know whatever it is he thinks he's tweeting about.

Maybe a reference to tariffs that imported bikes would face?

[Historic NY]

8. Its your fault Donald and once again HD digs its own grave, your tariff wars just cover that grave.

Harley has once again succeeded in digging its own grave, they built bikes that are expensive and most young people don't prefer them. Smaller agile foreign bikes and small upstarts are pulling in the younger buyer. The appeasement of the mostly off road bikers with now street legal models defaults to the foreign market. H/D thinks building the bikes with American components in Thailand is the way to compete. Having EL Trumpo threaten isn't going to help them.

[Wellstone ruled]

27. You are going in the right direction.

Harley's Market is the Older White Guy with disposable Income or extra Savings in order to purchase their Product.

And,what is happening to that Demographic,guess what,they have lost their extra disposable edge,and the National Demographic is turning Browner by the day.

Think about this,just how many people want a 30k + toy sitting in their Garage in today's uncertainty. Not me,dump that toy almost two years ago. Cost of having that toy sit their convinced me to get rid of it.

[malaise]

9. Seriously - who the fuck

Does he think he is - a fucking emperor
This has to stop

[tanyev]

10. The Aura?

[HAB911]

11. Just issue an Executive Order and make them stay, LOL

[NurseJackie]

13. Ha!! :-D

Oh my sides!

[erpowers]

12. So, What About His Hotels, Ivanka's Clothing Line

If Harley-Davidsons should not be building in a foreign country what about his hotels? Many of his hotels are built in foreign countries. Many of the things that carry his name are built in foreign countries. What about Ivanka's clothing line? Should that be made in foreign countries? Will he tax his and Ivanka's companies "like never before"?


Trump bringing up Harley-Davidson building motorcycles in another country brings up a seemingly forgotten part of Trump's campaign. Throughout his campaign Trump bashed companies that built products in foreign countries, like China, even though he and his daughter had companies that built items in foreign countries. People need to, once again, start asking Trump about his and his family's companies that sell items made in foreign countries? They also need to resume asking him when he and his daughter will bring their companies back to the United States since he claimed that the reason he and Ivanka has companies overseas was because of high taxes. Those taxes have been reduced, so, when will they be bringing those jobs back to the United States of America?

[spinbaby]

14. Is he threatening them?

Sure sounds like it.

[C_U_L8R]

16. He's threatening everyone

[maxrandb]

15. He wouldn't know a Harley from a GS Scooter

This is what is so fucked up about this fucker. Every god damn White Middle Aged Male in the country KNOWS in their heart that he's a fucking phony.

He's a phony tough guy that would turn tail and run in a bar fight. Oh, he'd have no problem starting the fight, but sticking around to fight? Fuck No!

He's phony rich guy, who bluffs his way through bullshit. He'd fucking make his red-hat wearing fucktwits use their last fucking quarter to buy him a stick of gum. He's the kind of guy the Candle Fund folks keep an eye on to make sure the $1 he puts in the church candle box doesn't have fishing line attached to it so he can get it back.

His entire fucking family is like what you would find when Richy Rich would play with his Barbies and Kens.

He's a fucking fraud. His fat-ass has never straddled a ten-speed bike, let alone a motorcycle.

He's the kind of fucking guy you meet all the time, that you wish would just shut the fuck up about himself. The kind of person that makes you want to take a fucking shower when you meet them,

He's nothing but a self-promoting carnival barker, actually mirrored on the snake-oil salesman from the Wizard of Oz, who, if it weren't for the ignorant fucks who voted for this fucker, YOU WOULDN'T GIVE A 2ND THOUGHT TO

An insignificant little pissant that would cry like a fucking baby if you told him the Ice Cream was all gone.

AND THESE FUCKERS MADE HIM THE LEADER OF THE FUCKING FREE WORLD

Being civil to these ass-pickles would be like politely asking Jeffrey Dahmer to pass you the salt as he eats your fucking liver.

They don't need to be understood. We don't need to know what they're feeling in their fucked-up little minds. All that needs to be done is to kick their fucking asses all over this country, take back the Congress, and then don't give a single flying fuck about them, with the exception of hoping that they hurry up and die the fuck off!

[yonder]

30. heh, heh. nice rant

the photo of tRump and pence alongside the HD's makes me laugh. The two of them together and likely the senior staff wouldn't know the first thing about those American motorcycles. Ask trump about that famous long-stroke and he'd lie and make a lame joke about something he used to do when he was younger.

[MineralMan]

17. What do you know about manufacturing, Donwald?

Clearly, nothing. Here's some advice: Go to Craigs List and search for Harley Davidson. In any major market, you will find hundreds of low-mileage Harleys. Why? Because old men like you purchased them new, and then found out they're really scared of riding. Now, other old men are buying those used ones, instead of paying big bucks for new ones.

Harley Davidson's business model is failing. The company's only hope is to sell motorcycles outside of he US.

Trade Wars are hard, and it's easy to lose, you dolt!

[Baitball Blogger]

18. He is a cult leader.

19. Kiss Nov. elections goodbye: Wall Street Journal rips into Trump for driving Harley jobs to Europe

20. Please let it be so!

WSJ: “But the Harley harm is made in America—that is, the White House.”

Awaiting another tweet disparaging the WSJ...

[librechik]

21. Remove the tariffs, you moron. It's your fault!

This guy is deranged.

[ooky]

22. They are already built in other countries

for country's with high tariff on their U.S. imports.

He's an idiot.

[Orsino]

24. You can't "tax" them on what they can't afford to build.

An economy is a machine, one you can't fine-tune with a sledgehammer wielded by a rabid weasel.

[Renew Deal]

26. These are business decisions.

He might want to pretend that his Russian backed attempts to tank the economy have no effect, but he's wrong.

[klook]

28. Brilliant - encourage the Deplorables to buy

Suzuki, Yamaha, BMW, et al. instead. That's what real Americans do!

[Takket]

29. Would love to see HD's CEO go on a profanity laced tirade at this time

Something like

WTF does he want us to do? Just lose money to save face for him??? It is his dumbass tariff that is making us do this. What happened to the free market???

[CaseyinSeattle]

31. Trump makes a deal.. Drives Harley Davidson out of the USA. Jobs Lost.

Is there a list going of Trumps deals.
Making other countries richer and our country poorer
Soy bean farmers
Harley Davidson employees
