In addition to being an obscene poison pen writer, Kevin D. Williamson is sloppy. He penned an ode to Harley-Davidson because it is standing up to "The Man" by shipping more production overseas to protest President Trump's tariffs.

Williamson missed the real story. Harley-Davidson owes its existence to tariffs imposed by President Reagan in 1983. Ingratitude is hard to see when you are a Never Trumper basking in the glow of conservative victories that President Trump earned.

Given that Williamson was only 11 in 1983 (and I was a mere 30), I shall try to enlighten him on how Reagan saved Harley-Davidson.
