President Trump's reverse Midas touch when it comes to American manufacturing jobs has struck again.

Harley-Davidson, the iconic American motorcycle company, has begun laying off workers from its Midwestern plants and will open a facility in Thailand.

In February, Trump called out Harley-Davidson as "a great example of American manufacturing" while promising to increase manufacturing jobs nationwide. The president and CEO Mike Levatich posed for a photo op with Harley bikes parked on the White House's south lawn.

Last Tuesday, Harley announced it would reduce its workforce, laying off 180 workers between its Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Kansas City, Missouri plants. In April, 118 jobs were cut at the company's York, Pennsylvania facility.

2. I wonder what percentage of their employees voted for the liar in chief?

Every worker and ill person who voted for the ass deserves what they voted for. I don't want to hear their BS excuses when/if they realize they backed the wrong candidate. Their votes have caused me to live my few remaining years in severe pain and bankruptcy. I did NOT vote for this future. They voted for theirs.

4. Harley exploited Trump the way Trump usually exploits others.

They got the publicity shot at the White House and then did the opposite of what they promised. Karma.
