Trump cancels Harley Davidson factory visit over planned protests: report
The Hill ^

Posted on 01/31/2017 4:04:18 PM PST by Historix

President Trump's scheduled trip to a Harley-Davidson factory in Milwaukee on Thursday has been canceled over the likelihood of protests, CNN reported Tuesday.

An administration official told the news network that the plans were scrapped after the motorcycle giant became uncomfortable with the threat of demonstrations.

Over the weekend, massive protests broke out at airports across the country after Trump signed an executive order on Friday banning citizens of certain Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S. Other large protests were planned for the president's Milwaukee visit, according to CNN. Trump was originally supposed to head to the factory for a tour on Thursday, where he was set to sign executive orders pertaining to manufacturing.

Yep, excerpt says just that:

Massive is a lie and the term “broke out”.. As if they weren’t organized and planned. Who in the hell has material to make a sign lying around their house to throw together in order to spontaneously protest at an airport?

The Harley Davidson parts are made in China, then shipped to different parts of America to be ‘assembled’ at the plants...I visited the one in PA while I lived there and witnessed this myself...

Sure glad I’m not an owner of a Harley right now, think I would sell it if I was...

Imagine the remarkable response had President Trump advised he sought to visit the Harley-Davidson factory and subsequently wished to meet with as many Bikers for Trump as could reach Milwaukee?

If he’s going to cancel things due to protests then he’ll never leave the White House. Tour the factory and to hell with the protesters.

Here in Michigan, fifty uncouth and loud anti-Trump protesters showed up for a congressional event in my adopted Northern home of Shepherd. The staffer in charge made a simple call to the Chief of Police; moments later, an officer showed up, and the noise abated. Why was I there? My Science superstar daughter asked me to drop a report off to the congressional coordinator there. The officer gave me a quick look, followed by a wink! I was the only other male in the room with 1. a fresh shave. 2. pressed pants. 3. Navy officer haircut! The point is you must stand up to these scum!

I don't understand the point of this photo. Do you have any info on it and how it relates to the inauguration?

Disagree. Trump should have shown up with a battalion of National Guard fully armed and start throwing them into police vehicles the moment they threaten the President. Let a few hundred get arrested, the visit continues, and the need was accomplished. Oh, and set bail at more money than they have ever seen. The real world criminals will love them, literally.

Yes, I read it.

It’s a shame they had to cave too. Letting these people think they can control everyone, is a very dangerous precedent.
