President Trump on Tuesday threatened the iconic motorcycle company Harley-Davidson with severe taxes and predicted a public revolt that he said would eventually put the 115-year-old firm out of business, blasting the Wisconsin company for a plan to move some operations outside the United States as a way to avoid getting caught in the middle of an escalating trade war.

Trump's a vindictive little shit, isn't he? It's okay, though, because he now knows the SCOTUS has his back.

(11,885 posts)Want now to manufacture in this country , when a bully abuses his power to hurt you when you won't bow down to his demands. They'll be many others seeing this a a clear sign they can't come here, or will move outside the country and not return. Remember both trump and his daughter still manufacture their products outside this country taking away jobs, and trump openly hires immigrants over Americans in this country. He wants control of businesses , complete control over everything they do , like putin did in russia to businesses there. He either corrupted them , or criminalized their owners and stole them. In russia only the most corrupt are allowed to prosper. Businesses now here are being forced to leave this country because of trump. Just look at new business development, its dropping like a rock now. They also can see what's being done to damage this economy , and we will be back into a recession from his damaging policies they've enacted , again. This economy is getting set up to fall dramatically from doing the same things W did only worse. W also told every one the economy was fine, when everyone knew he was lying. Just like trump's planing on doing too, lying.
