As we told you last night, Goodyear Tires is under fire after a slide from a training presentation went viral saying that Black Lives Matter and LGBT attire is okay for associates to wear, but Blue Lives Matter, All Lives Matter, MAGA Attire and Political Affiliated Slogans or Material won’t be allowed:

And in response, President Trump is calling on a boycott of the company, tweeting “This is what the Radical Left Democrats do. Two can play the same game, and we have to start playing it now!)”:
Don’t buy GOODYEAR TIRES – They announced a BAN ON MAGA HATS. Get better tires for far less! (This is what the Radical Left Democrats do. Two can play the same game, and we have to start playing it now!).

Many Goodyear tires are made right here in #Ohio by hardworking union workers.
