Trump: "I chided" Harley-Davidson during WH visit, "won't sell to US without paying big tax!"

....When I had Harley-Davidson officials over to the White House, I chided them about tariffs in other countries, like India, being too high. Companies are now coming back to America. Harley must know that they won’t be able to sell back into U.S. without paying a big tax!

outside of the USA because many countries do like motorcycles. The company will create a lot of jobs outside of the USA too.

Oops.

MANY German tourists on motorcycles stopped there, and often. Harley is an iconic brand world-wide. They'll sell their product somewhere. It's unfortunate that Trump's White House Dog & Pony show had to happen. Not unexpected...just unfortunate.

Talked to a couple of German Tourist two weeks ago today. This was this was their last visit to the States. They talked about their personal hassles with Customs at McCarran. Because they both fit some cock-a-mamy profile. BTW,both are exec's for BMW and were headed to South Carolina for Company meetings in a couple of weeks.

And yes,we talked about the Tarriff's. This Gents said it was a day to day thing and they could not see anything good coming out of this mess for their Carolina operation. They mention using capacity in other European plants as worst case scenerio . Most of the SUV's built here are shipped to Eourpe and China.

Again our Tourism Market is now taking a mega hit.

It is grammatically correct. No misspelled words. I'd bet the farm that he has never used the word 'chide' in his life.

Any guesses?

If he damages their income intentionally. All businesses should take note how he'll do them , and should reject everything trump , and openly denounce him. In his putin like government only the most corrupt proper , and the rest lose out and are criminalized like putin did to business owners to steal their companies and control industries , and became very wealthy.
