Harley-Davidson sales plunge after Trump said he would back boycott
Harley-Davidson's sales plunged by 13 percent last quarter after President Trump said he would support a boycott against the company.
The 13-percent drop between July and September is the steepest quarterly slide the company has seen in eight years, Bloomberg reported.
The plunge followed after President Trump tweeted his support in June for a boycott against Harley-Davidson after the company announced it would move some of its production overseas to avoid new tariffs imposed by the European Union.

From 2008:
>The political class is shifting left. We’re likely to get Obama and Nancy and Harry running the most advanced economy in the world next year. The investor class doesn’t like what it sees coming. That’s why it is scaling back. Capital is going on strike, and we won’t come back to the table until we see that we have a chance to a fair deal.
U.S. GDP Report Expected to Give Trump a Win Ahead of Midterms
The U.S. economy is poised for its best back-to-back quarters of growth since 2014, handing President Donald Trump a $20 trillion talking point just in time for the midterm congressional elections.
The report due Friday, the last data before the Nov. 6 vote, will show gross domestic product expanded at a 3.4 percent annualized pace in the July-September period after a 4.2 percent gain in the prior quarter, according to the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg. Consumer spending and business investment probably drove growth, and inventory accumulation also contributed.
