Donald Trump wants to boycott Harley Davidson motorcycle manufacturer

in #politics6 years ago

President Donald Trump backed boycotting American motorcycle manufacturer Harley Davidson Inc (HOG.N) on Sunday, the latest salvo in a dispute between the company and Trump over tariffs on steel. The Wisconsin-based motorcycle manufacturer announced a plan earlier this year to move production of motorcycles for the European Union from the United States to its overseas facilities to avoid the tariffs.

My thoughts on this news

Remember how Trump was praising Harley Davidson at the beginning of his presidency. He was saying what a great American corporation they are and how they will create many jobs because of the tax cuts they will get. Well, that was all bullshit, and Trump seems to have changed his mind about Harley, now he is saying that he is supporting a boycott against the corporation. Because Harley has decided they will be moving their production out of the USA because of Trump's tariffs. Once again Trump's tariffs are turning out to be a failure and as usual this is typical corporate behavior. Corporations do not care about their employees, they do not care about their country, they have no loyalty. All they care about is revenue and profits, and they will move their production to wherever the most revenue can be generated for their corporations and its owners...
