Trump continues to act like a scorned lover over Harley suggesting it will move some of its production overseas to get around the retaliatory tariffs from Trump’s trade war with Europe:
Now that Harley-Davidson is moving part of its operation out of the U.S., my Administration is working with other Motor Cycle companies who want to move into the U.S. Harley customers are not happy with their move - sales are down 7% in 2017. The U.S. is where the Action is!

Trump is intentionally trying to hurt the sales of Harley by fomenting outrage against them for simply trying to succeed. He’s making it sound like they are betraying America. What a puke.
And who cares if they are moving overseas, it’s their business and they can run it out how they see fit. As president he has no say in how they run their company and it should turn everyone’s stomach that he’s trying to bully them. If he wants them to stay then he needs to stop this trade war.
Also I know Trump is claiming that they are using this as an excuse. Even if that’s true, Trump gave them this excuse when he started this trade war. So it’s still on him.
