So Trump is going after an iconic American Brand like Harley Davidson






Trump threatens Harley-Davidson: If it moves operations overseas, 'they will be taxed like never before!'
President Donald Trump says Tuesday that Harley-Davidson will be "taxed like never before" if they move production overseas.
"A Harley-Davidson should never be built in another country-never!" Trump says in a tweet.
On Monday, Harley says it is moving some production overseas due to increased costs from the EU's retaliatory tariffs against the Trump administration's duties on steel and aluminum from the bloc.

Most things including cars and motorcycles with American brand names are built overseas or contain parts manufactured overseas. They could make Harley Davidsons in China and they would still be uniquely Americana. Motown was purchased by Universal but Motown will forever be associated with Detroit and not Los Angeles where they are now.

I am closer on trade to Ricardo, Adam Smith and Milton Friedman on trade than Peter Navarrro, Steve Bannon and Donald Trump.
