Donald Trump will apparently no longer visit a Milwaukee Harley-Davidson factory this week after the motorcycle company called it off due to planned protests, CNN reports.A source from the Trump administration told CNN that Trump planned to visit the factory on Thursday and sign another executive order there. Trump staffers were already on the ground in Wisconsin prepping for the president's arrival when Harley-Davidson allegedly got cold feet and called the whole thing off.The enormous groundswell of protests erupting during Trump's first week in office apparently spooked the motorcycle company, specifically surrounding the controversial executive order he signed Friday barring refugees and people from seven countries admission to the US. But Harley played it pretty even-handed in a statement released Tuesday night."We are proud to have hosted presidential visits at our facilities. Three of the last five presidents—Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton—have visited us at our facilities," Maripat Blankenheim, Harley-Davidson's director of corporate communication, said. "These visits are a testament to the pride and passion of our employees and their great work building Harley-Davidson motorcycles. We look forward to hosting the president in the future."A canceled factory tour isn't exactly the large-scale change that protestors are working toward, but it's a small reminder that they can actually shake things up. It's a start.
