So much for America first

Its almost as if starting a trade war was a BAD idea.

question for europe: Why the hell are you buying harleys when you have BMWs and Hondas, triumphs and literally anything better?

that said, I don't see fox news jumping on trump for this anytime soon

Harley was already in trouble tbh. This just happened to be the final nail in the proverbial coffin.

HD bikes have always been iconic, even in Europe. My mom used to backpack on her HD back in the day and several of my coworkers prefer HD bikes over Yamaha and Suzuki bikes.

Trump is now attacking HD and threatening them with huge import tarrifs...

he really really really has no idea how economics works does he? they make bikes here still, they will just make bikes here to satisfy this market, but his tarrifs are forcing them to shift production of bikes for export (mainly growing markets) overseas, so the jobs here are now in danger of dropping off as HD's base here falls off

"He really really really has no idea how economics works, does he?"

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
