If he keeps this kind of thing up, picking on individual companies like he does with political enemies, one thing that comes to mind is that he's gonna scare the shit out of "Wall St".:

Trump threatens Harley-Davidson with taxes ‘like never before’ and predicts its eventual collapse

By Damian Paletta, June 26 at 8:40 AM

President Trump on Tuesday threatened the iconic motorcycle company Harley-Davidson with severe taxes and predicted a public revolt that he said would eventually put the 115-year-old firm out of business, blasting the Wisconsin company for a plan to move some operations outside the United States as a way to avoid getting caught in the middle of an escalating trade war.

Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrump

A Harley-Davidson should never be built in another country-never! Their employees and customers are already very angry at them. If they move, watch, it will be the beginning of the end - they surrendered, they quit! The Aura will be gone and they will be taxed like never before!

scratch off dairy farmers and cheesemakers and Packer fans and Harley fans, and you've got very little of Wisconsin left!

No surprise that the infamous Gov. Scott Walker is suddenly too busy to talk about federal gummint issues?

Yeah, I saw this and thought of posting it myself just to help the story get more play. Because I'm originally from Milwaukee, Harley central, and in a misspent youth knew a lot of the Harley fan type of guys and gals. And a lot of them are types that would fall for Trump type shtick....
