    Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump will not head to Milwaukee for a previously scheduled visit of a Harley-Davidson factory after the company decided it wasn't comfortable hosting him amid planned protests, an administration official said Tuesday.

    Trump had been scheduled to tour the factory Thursday where he also planned to sign executive orders related to American manufacturing.

    The visit had not been publicly announced, but White House staffers were already on the ground in Milwaukee setting up for Trump's planned visit to the factory on Thursday.

    In all seriousness...I hope companies don't start to cave en-mass to the bullies on the Left. That would be letting the terrorists win.

    Harley will stay. No factories planned for China. Trump doesn't need his ego stroked now.

    Bikers scared of planned protests? Well, that's interesting.... Of course the white collar guys there probably are a little too soft for the vitriol that the protesters spew. Bummer.

    Moving to China would be a disaster, no one would want a Ha-ree Davidson.

    How pathetic does it look that people will protest good jobs in the US?

    That's a rhetorical question, the answer is obvious. VERY pathetic.

    I think they were concerned over protests about Trump.

    There are plenty of other venues to protest Trump.

    If the anarchists show up at Harley Davidson, they're protesting jobs.

    Why would people in Wisconsin protest a venue when they can protest Trump himself if given the opportunity?

    And not all protesters are anarchists.

    If they're protesting jobs, they're anarchists.

    They should camp out near the White House if they want to protest Trump.

    If Trump goes to Arlington National Cemetery and protesters show up that doesn't mean they're there to protest dead people. It means they're taking the opportunity to protest Trump.
