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.

“As always you’re being disingenuous. The CVO line is like comparing Porsche to VW. Yes, VW owns both, but they are not the same machines.”

It says “Harley-Davidson” on the side. Please. It is a Harley-Davidson.

It’s too bad that businesses are being politicized even when their management is just trying to do business. Some businesses deserve it like Amazon, Starbucks and Google, but they are the ones that did it to themselves. Yet they are not being bullied because they are liberals. Bikers for Trump should gather around the protesters at HD. Somehow I don’t see all these snowflake SJWs as big customers of HD.

“The CVO line is like comparing Porsche to VW. “

If I want to buy a Porsche I do not go to a VW store.

If I want to buy a CVO, I go to a ___________ store.

No wonder the government had to bail them out.
