When the European Union slapped the U.S. with $3.2 billion in retaliatory tariffs targeting products produced in Trump Country, it likely anticipated an outburst from the president along the lines of his attacks on Justin “Burn in hell” Trudeau. Perhaps some sort of tantrum directed at European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker’s manhood, with swipes at Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron, the latter of whom he’d sneeringly call his ex-friend. What the E.U. probably didn’t expect was for Donald Trump to go bats--t crazy on an American company caught in the middle of his “easy to win” trade war, threatening it via Twitter for three days straight (and counting). But, surprise! That’s exactly what’s happened.

After the Wisconsin-based Harley-Davidson announced it would have no choice but to shift some production overseas in order to avoid raising the price of its bikes bound for the E.U. bloc, the president initially weighed in with some relatively mild criticism, describing the company’s decision as surrendering to the enemy. The next day, still stewing, Trump claimed to his followers that Harley had decided to move production abroad before the levies were imposed, and was using his “Tariffs/Trade War as an excuse,” which was, in fact, a lie. (In reality, the company’s decision to build a factory to supply markets in Southeast Asia was made on the basis of Trump’s decision to withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership.) He followed that up by essentially threatening to put the company out of business—“If they move, watch, it will be the beginning of the end!”—and claiming “they will be taxed like never before,” even though there’s no indication Harley will import motorcycles to the U.S. from overseas plants. And he didn’t stop there!

After presumably spending the entire night tossing and turning, becoming increasingly convinced that the company had wronged him, and getting all riled up by his buddies at Fox & Friends, on Wednesday, Trump sent out a tweet worthy of a scorned lover:

It’s not totally clear what the president means when he says he’s done “so much for” Harley-Davidson, but that’s obviously beside the point. Stay tuned for later in the week, when Trump calls a press conference to burn a Harley motorcycle in effigy on the South Lawn of the White House, shouting “I warned you!” and “It didn’t have to be this way!” as the flames rise.
