This now-viral quote allegedly from the CEO of Harley Davidson calling President Trump a “moron” is fake:

But they don’t care. Here’s Stephen King, for example:

Ron Perlman shared it with his followers as well before realizing his error:
I just deleted a post that I put up earlier think it thinking it was a quote from the CEO of Harley Davidson. It was fallacious. Yes, even the Perl can have the wool pulled over his eyes.

But others are still sharing the quote which is helping it spread:

Harley Davidson CEO Matthew S Levatich says:
"Our decision to move some of our operations is 100% based on President Trumps tariffs. Mr. Trump knows nothing about economics and even less about trade. The man is a moron."

Harley Davidson put out this tweet and statement to hopefully set the record straight:
“It’s shameful we live in a time when people create fake quotes. There’s one attributed to me on Twitter. I have not, nor would I ever speak about the President of the United States or anyone else in that way.”

Hopefully.
