    Piggy lashes out at the Red Hen for asking Huckleberry to leave.

    I don't recall any other President attacking a privately owned company.

    (2015)...U.S. President Barack Obama singled out office supply company Staples Inc as undercutting his healthcare reform law and said large corporations should not use the health insurance issue as an excuse for cutting wages......

    "when I hear large corporations that make billions of dollars in profits trying to blame our interest in providing health insurance as an excuse for cutting back workers’ wages, shame on them,”

    Harley’s U.S. sales have been sinking in recent years as Baby Boomers decide they are becoming too old to continue riding and fewer younger people step up to take their place....

    As a result, Harley said it was forced to cut excess factory capacity...cut factory capacity why again ?  Because of low sales..

    16% of Harley's sales come from Europe. They were paying a 6% tariff which now goes to 31%. 

    As far as Thailand, Harley moved production there as a result of Piggy's decision to leave the TTP. Tariffs on steel & aluminum hurt as well.

    Jobs left the country along with this manufacturing plant.

    BTW..the Asian Pacific region is a very small player in Harley's world.

    Of course Harley took Piggy's tax cut. What corporation didn't?

    Piggy's oinking about Maxine Waters calling for violence. I remember Piggy saying..

    "I want to punch him in the face."

    "Maybe he should be roughed up."

    "Try not to hurt him. But if you do I'll defend you in court. Don't worry about it."

    Pathetic draft dodging cry baby. 

    Piglets...stand up to the bully.

    The NT Times shelved this story that had POS Steven Miller on the record re: Piggy's border policy.

    Here's Piggy attacking Jeff Bezos owner of the owner of the Washington Post.

    “Washington Post employees want to go on strike because Bezos isn’t paying them enough. I think a really long strike would be a great idea,” Trump tweeted, referencing Jeff Bezos, the Post's owner and CEO of Amazon. “Employees would get more money and we would get rid of Fake News for an extended period of time!”

    When has a President encouraged workers to go on strike?

    What a jerk!

    1. On Friday, in a tweet, . Trump’s tweet sent shares of BMW, Volkswagen, Fiat Chrysler and Mercedes-maker Daimler all lower.
    2. Piggy has no idea how American car manufacturers could be hurt. He's not smart enough to realize his twit storms have real life consequences.

    Trump is wrong in claiming other nations have been taking unfair advantage of US as a piggy bank.  He has a fundamental misunderstanding that the balance of trade is a profit and loss account.  That is, a nation lost money in a trade deficit. 

    This is false because a trade account is more like a bank account.  It reflects the difference between what a nation saves and spends.  US overspends beyond its means because the dollar is favored as the world's reserve currency.  Actually, the world is the piggy bank paying for US borrowing of money at low interest rates.

    Unfair that US buys more than what it earns and that some industries are heavily subsidized such as agriculture and hi tech.  Since tariffs are taxes that reduce demand, US gets a smaller trade deficit in exchange for higher prices and lower standard of living.  In worst scenario, tariffs trigger a worldwide recession and other nations stop lending to the US.

    That's chicken feed ..President Obama has “the worst record of any president when it comes to putting America deeper in debt....Barack Obama added $9.3 trillion to the national debt..

    When Obama took office on Jan. 20, 2009, the outstanding public debt totaled $10,626,877,048,913.

    When Obama left office, outstanding public debt totaled $19,944,429,217,106......that's around 1.13 trillion a year,..where as President Trump has only increased the debt by 1.15 trillion in  over a 17 month period..
