According to this 100 percent false tweet, the CEO of Harley Davidson Matthew Levatich blasted Donald Trump for starting a trade war and blamed him for their decision to move some of their operations overseas.
SEE ALSO: Twitter commits to taking on the bots and the abusers (yet again)It is true that the motorcycle company is blaming the resulting EU tariffs for their decision to move some production overseas. And the President did take to, where else, Twitter to voice his displeasure with Harley Davidson for the decision to move production. This does perhaps lend a little credence to the fact that, maybe, a CEO would put out some sort of statement defending his company from the attacks.

But that Harley Davidson statement, the one that’s spreading like wildfire on the web, is false. It’s completely untrue.
The original tweet is from a Twitter user who goes by Judy Tinsleman with the handle @tinsleman. The Twitter account was created this month, according to the creation date listed in the account's bio. A quick search on websites like PeopleFinder and Spokeo bring up zero results for a person going by the name Judy Tinsleman in the United States. Before the Harley Davidson CEO went viral, the account had barely any Twitter followers. The account seems to have tweeted various made-up “breaking news” tweets with varying levels of success in spreading through Twitter earlier this month.

On the same day @tinsleman tweeted the fake Harley Davidson CEO quote, Twitter published a blog post detailing how they’re taking action against spam bots and malicious accounts. In the post, they explained how they’re tackling many of the problems with the platform. Yet just looking at @tinsleman’s account, from hashtag-stuffing to multiple spammy @ mentions, it's easy to see a number of warning signs that should have tipped off Twitter according to their own post!
Twitter users believing the Harley Davidson CEO statement are now copying the fake quote to tweet from their own accounts. Those tweets are racking up thousands of retweets on their own, too.
