Harley-Davidson to Shift Production Overseas to Offset EU Tariffs
Looks like Trump's trade war is working as expected...there goes U.S. job overseas due to ignorant moves by the president-in-training.
MAGA!
Sad part is, most of Trump's base will not connect the dots and see the folly of their glorious leader.

No surprise reading about this. It's only the beginning of more companies moving overseas or huge layoffs with the possibility of going out of business.
A nail manufacturing company, I think it's in Missouri, their sales have dropped by 50% because of the steel tariffs. The owner voted for Trump and is now asking Dem Claire McCaskill for help to save his business.

I saw this on the news this morning, crazy isn't it, but Drifter's right, no surprise considering the craziness of Trumpworld policies. Speaking of moving overseas, I was looking in what I needed to do to move over the boarder, but, sadly, I don't think Canada would have me long term. I'm too damn old and worn out to be much of a contributor to be placed high on the list for citizenship. Oh well guess I better stick around and see what I can to help in my own small ways to make the US fight for it's humanity.

I gotta say, I've never really heard any kind of coherent explanation for conducting trade wars & imposing tariffs. I guess Trump thought that sounded really 'macho' or something. Maybe if Trump tuned out FOX & Friends and turned off the TV, stayed off Twitter for a minute and grabbed a copy of the Wall
St. Journal perhaps he'd pick up a few useful tips on how the economy works, and what is currently happening in the Real World.

Yeah - they were always bragging about being the essential American motorcycle. What a laugh! The Harley riders looked down their nose at those of us who rode "Jap" bikes. I always rode a Honda because they were quality bikes and were super reliable. Harley had quite a problem with both for a while.

For the life of me, I simply do not understand why the Trump supporters can't see what damage Trump is doing.

My guess is it has to do with empathy. If you think empathy is some kind for gimmick for the Dems. to get votes, You do not have it?

The stock market has gone down every day except one for the last 10 days.....I am worried about my savings with this trade war that the loon has started.
