The press and US politicians cannot keep up with this.

UPS is toast.

Cancels Trump visit; doesn't want to deal with protestors. Wow. And these guys sell motorcycles to Hell's Angels.

Sounds like another company run by cupcakes and snowflakes.

Remember the video of Donald Trump during the campaign hoofing it across divided highways to reach a rally where protesters had blocked his way?

Maybe Trump can invite the Hell's Angels to the White House.
