Trump and Harley-Davidson

There's nothing like the sound of a Harley Davidson that says made in America. But Harley Davidson is very concerned about the blowback of the Trump trade war, and has decided it will be shipping some manufacuring overseas to avoid the incoming missle of Trump's trade war.

Sorry, but the problem is they already shipped them overseas.
If it weren't for that, they would be unaffected by tariffs.
Do you need me to explain how tariffs work???

The Great Depression Lesson About ‘Trade Wars’

Verify your claim with a credibile trusted link. I don't believe Harley Davidson has ever put out a product that wasn't American made.


Tariffs have never created a single job in this country but they are very well noted for job loss's. We have experience with this during the Great depression. The only thing tariffs do is drive up the cost to the consumer, they cut back on their spending and then you see job LOSS'S throughout every sector of the economy.

Canada has just hit American products with their own tariffs. 13 BILLION worth of tariffs on American products.

Well, obviously you are misinformed.



"The original Milwaukee factory on Juneau Street is currently the company's corporate offices as well as the Harley-Davidson museum.

Technically speaking, Harley-Davidson motorcycles sold in the United States are not actually made here, but assembled here. Harley contracts manufacturing of parts to plants located all over the world, including Germany, Italy, Taiwan, Japan, and Mexico. Those parts are then shipped to Harley factories here. And these are not just accessories, but components for engines, chassis, and wheels. Exactly what percentage of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle is American made, is not exactly known, as each model and model year is different." Where are Harley-Davidson Motorcycles Made?
 
Trump chides Harley-Davidson in tariff row

"
Donald Trump criticises Harley-Davidson for decision over tariffs"

So, Trump is criticizing Harley-Davidson for moving production to Europe where it won't suffer from debilitating tariffs in the EU or China.

These are the Tariffs that Trump managed to get imposed.

So why is he blaming a company for trying to remain profitable? He'd do the same thing in similar circumstance. He'd make his company more profitable over the desires of a different president.

That it's HIS POLICY that caused the company to move, and yet he's blaming the company, shows just how arrogant the guy is.




Well what can we expect from someone who inherited his fortune from his father and was able to BUY THE BRAINS needed to expand it? Donald J. Trump

He banrupted 4 casino's leaving banks holding the bag on 900 million in loss's. Then he decided to hire brains. The laws of basic economics mean nothing to him.

Harley is an American bike, they should build them in America. they shouldn't play cute!
 
"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!" - President Trump

Trump says that a company's sales dropped in 2017 because its customers were unhappy with a move it announced in 2018.

When researching this myself about 9 years ago I believe about 70% of HD was American made components. I went with the Victory at the time because they were at about 73% of American made components. And their motors were more reliable than the twin cam HDs.

I have noticed that Trump is truly stuck in the 1950's. The way he treats women, minorities, business (bullying tactics), foreign policy. And I assume back then that a trade war was thought of as okay.

You would think Trump would know this from reading about Smoot-Hawley and the disaster that brought.
But - as we know - Trump reads VERY little.

But today...we know better. Well...most of us do.
I think many/most cons realize it too. But are too terrified to stand up to Trump OR they blindly believe whatever he says.
 
"Many @harleydavidson owners plan to boycott the company if manufacturing moves overseas. Great! Most other companies are coming in our direction, including Harley competitors. A really bad move! U.S. will soon have a level playing field, or better." - President Trump just now
