Trump calls for Goodyear boycott after company bans MAGA attire among employees

Goodyear #Goodyear

According to Kansas television station WIBW, a slide labeled “Zero Tolerance” was presented at the company’s Topeka, Kan. plant and spelled out appropriate and inappropriate displays.

“Black Lives Matter” and “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride” were considered acceptable. Listed under the “unacceptable” section were “Blue Lives Matter,” “All Lives Matter,” “MAGA Attire” and “Political Affiliated Slogans or Material.”

WIBW reported that a worker at the Topeka plant captured the picture and provided it to the news station.

Trump’s Goodyear attack is the latest in a long line of proposed boycotts from the president. Since 2015, Trump has called on boycotts of numerous prominent companies, ranging from Apple to CNN.

Liberal boycotts of companies with conservative ties have frequently irked Trump. In July 2019, Trump used similar rhetoric when defending his friend and Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus.

“More and more the Radical Left is using Commerce to hurt their ‘Enemy.’ They put out the name of a store, brand or company, and ask their so-called followers not to do business there,” Trump wrote on Twitter at the time. “They don’t care who gets hurt, but also don’t understand that two can play that game!”
