When you're not doing well, make shit up I guess.

I don't own one never planned to but ride with guys that do.  Spin away.  They are getting the hell out of Dodge for some reason sir.  May you opine and educate old DD on why that is.  I surely don't want to make shit up.

Meanwhile back at the Border. :D

The narrative is simple.  Their overseas market is growing and they want to shift parts of their production to that region and trump is shitting on himself. 

Or not.

Unemployment down to record lows an most improved amongst minorities.

Strong GDP growth.

Manufacturing actually growing.

 

Nice projection though. The Hysterical Middle School Girl Posse is soiling themsleves on a daily basis for all to see.

Because HD is struggling (long before the tariffs), the US economy and manufacturing sector is going down the toilet?

The unemployment and GDP growth rates didn't get your memo.

This is why I will never respect the GOP.  Now they expect CEOs to wreck their business model all to make the fuhrer look good.  Unbelievable!

Harley-Davidson stock rocked as EU tariffs hit where it hurts, and so does Trump

They are overpriced anyway.  I surely don't give a rat's ass they are moving overseas.  Are you defending this and if so why?  This is Americana after all (Harley) Serious question. 

I have never been unemployed in my life and been a minority for 55 years.  I promise you never one day since I was 15.  40 years running.

I’m talking Harley.  And unemployment has been decreasing for several years now, well before trump took office.

Yeah it's Freaking ridiculously stupid if it wasn't so stupidly ridiculous.  As long as unemployment is low is now the go to line.  You know that thing that has been trending down for damn near 7 years.

I'm not the one who even brought HD up.

The Hysterical Middle School Girl Posse can't point to the strong big picture so they trot out individual cases of woe and try to pass it off as indicative of the country as a whole. It's laughably transparent.

Congrats on your employment streak. Didn't see a question though.

Look on the bright side sir. These fools will be spinning it that Harley's are now affordable for Minorities since the people in Thailand will be the only ones with access to them in the near future.  :D

The unemployment rate was pretty stagnant for about 18 months prior to Trump. From Jan '16 to Jan '17 it dropped 0.1%.

Under Trump it dropped 7x that.

How's that for honesty?

Unemployment dropped under Obama. He inherited the worst economy since the Great Depression. It was at a healthy level and slowly declining when Trump took office.

You can't take an already stacked deck and claim credit for it.You just look like an idiot.

I just provided the chart to show the 10 year trend.  I don’t need to deny anything.

 We were damn near 10% in 2010 and before Obama left office he brought it to under 5%, but yet I’m to cream myself like those on the right bc trump took the baton n brought it to 3.8%?   Get real!

Trump inherited an economy on the up swing. He was built on it.

Don't sit here and act like it is all his doing.

He was handed an economy pot of gold, to which you were soiling yourself over for the past 8 years prior.
