Harley-Davidson Profit Is Wiped Out by President Trump's Tariffs

I think they would have problems - on a slower timescale - anyway.  Us old people like them, but of the 18 -20 millenials and younger in family/friend circle, none have shown interest in a Harley beyond saying, "Cool.!!" when looking at or talking about mine... Only one of the kids (GenX?) has shown any interest in actually owning it.

They may be headed back to the point they were when I bought mine - building about 20,000 a year.  That would put them out of business today, I think.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Now if the country could get him to DO something decent instead of just talking/making noise....

By the end of the week he will have forgotten the entire speech.

Polls from CNN and CBS News conducted shortly after the big address found that viewers generally approved of what the president had to say. That makes sense, because generally, a greater proportion of people who watch the State of the Union address tend to be from the president's party. In other words, of course Republican viewers thought Trump did a good job.

I thought he did quite well, speaking in clear, coherent sentences while reading off a teleprompter. Refresh my memory, but didn't he criticize Obama for doing that very thing? No matter. After calling for cooperation and bipartisanshipfulness on Tuesday, by Thursday he's back to ranting on Twitter.

May you live in interesting times.

You mean like the Republicans used that power to "oversee Barack Obama's administration"?

Here's an 'implication'...

Middle class believed the Trump Minion lies and thought they were gonna get a tax cut...instead, 1984 reality ensues...  May not want to wait until April to do taxes this year - may get a nasty surprise!!

Watching tv and saw something that raised the question;  Are blackmail and extortion legal when the President wants them to be?   Or are Pecker and his Minions in for some kind of surprise??



Also,...so glad you found that walrus gif - that is fantastic!   Gonna be able to use that a lot, I bet!!

Maybe you didn't see it, but yeah, many more were than in the last 2 years.  We will see what happens in the next couple of years.  And the lower economic steps did better than this!   Plus we actually got the tax cut in 2009 that Trump promised and, of course, did not deliver.


Obama messed up in one HUGE way - he didn't let the Bush tax cuts expire when they should have.  Even so, he got us to the biggest reductions in deficit that we have ever seen in the history of the country.  Not a little thing at all.  And since Trump's vow to undo everything Obama did, those reductions are long gone in our near trillion dollar deficits.  Again.

Trump even has his doctors lying for him now....geez...!

He weighs only 239 lbs like I only weigh 155 lbs.  Or 45 lbs difference...   Lol, lol, lol...!!   


I get that he feels the need to not feel obese so Minions won't "fear for his health"...but really... 239 lbs??   Can't even get close to reality??
