2020 biden

One of the best and safest tires.

The toddler in chief is at it again!

I don’t buy their overpriced shit at all !!!!!!!!

Good for good year you have my business

Tires are sooo unfair to me

This too shall pass....

😡😡😡😡😡

Buy Goodyear!!!!!

They are keeping politics out of coperate . The same would apply fo BLM.

Why not tell the whole story fake news they won't let them wear blue lives matter you forgot that

This so uncalled for.

His boycott call has a lot more to do with the fact Black Lives Matters items are allowed, but All Lives Matter & Blue Lives Matter items are not.

Ha ha now that's funny..wonder how many Maga's will listen to Orange man!

Down with Goodyear!

We will buy Good year tyres and still i am using Good year tyres in my car. 😬😬

And done. goodyear Just bought tires. But guess what I didnt buy? Goodyear BlueLivesMatter

Just Bought (4) Of The Goodyear Eagle Sport All Season TODAY.. They even have me a M.A.G.A. HAT To Burn in the Parking Lot for an Extra 15% Off....

To DAM sensitive and petty to have power.

Bottom line he’s a f—king child . Who reacts this way when they don’t get their way ? CHILDREN ! He’s losing support everyday and keeps saying and doing bonehead things that make even his own supporters abandon him and party .

It goes deeper then that, no blue lives matter, no all lives matter and of course no MAGA attire. Only black lives matter and LGBT attire will be acceptable. That is a one sided racist Company.

Don’t buy American made tires. But it’s ok to wear a trump hat made in China?

Buy Goodyear.

i don't think that an american pres. should call on people to stop buying any american product... for whatever reason. that is unpatriotic and goes against the hard-working american workers who work for that american factory.

So only buy good year?

Rightfully so. I will never buy from them again.

If the electoral college were a significant number and bought tires this would matter. However the majority of actual people are not republican traitors. 45 never won the people’s vote.

Goodyear is only allowing it’s workers to wear gear promoting the hate group BLM and homosexuality. Everything else is forbidden.

Legalities should have been discussed vs. issuing boycott billstepien

There goes his 8 yr old antics again!!! He’s awesome best entertainment ever!!

thanks trump for supporting American businesses that help keep jobs, acting like a responsible president by not targeting but promoting unity despite everyones differences and being a true genuine leader that cares for the American People. 😂😂😂...not

Tump telling supporters to not 'buy Goodyear Tires' after reports that the company's zero tolerance policy doesn't allow employees to wear MAGA hats and other political affiliated slogans or material. like equality or socail injustice some people want to keep it bussines

Goodyear don’t need the business of bigots. There are enough sane people to keep them afloat.

Stop with the click-bait headlines. Goodyear banned ALL POLITAL/ELECTION ATTIRE. My work does the same (a school) and so does my mother’s (a hospital). realDonaldTrump is only focused on MAGA hats because he is a NARCISSIST!

Much more to it USA Today, they don't allow blue lives matter! Your paper has become another left-leaning propaganda tool for the far left. I can't believe that back in the 80's I liked your paper. Even children (some) learn that part truths aren't necessarily the truth! Shame!

Do not buy from Marriotti Building Products. Trump compromised the place with visit filled with lies.

It was not just MAGA hats. They did not want any political attire but again it’s all about Donnie Trumpolini.

Why is he messing with a swing state Ohio again? Employees could lose their jobs with the 121 year old company not making enough revenue. 63,000? The promises Trump made to Lordstown, Youngstown, and GMC employees fell through. Thousands from job losses.

Trump is a moron ,US made tires ,employing 100 thousands of workers ,how disturbing is this ,wake up America VOTE!!

So, he wants to potentially place a financial strain on an American company with over 62,000 workers because his puppetmaster’s country is making false claims.

Means we should all buy at GoodYear

This is what he focuses on. His ego is out of control and the JHS antics are sad.

👋

Sue trump for slander.

I don't need tires right now, but I just bought stock in goodyear to support them and help them stand up to the bully in the white house.

I've bought mine. Great tyres.

Trump: all about me. With 5.5 million infected & 174,000 dead 💀, he should have more to worry about then MAGA hats. 🗳 Lets End this Trump Travesty 2020.

So 40 million unemployed Americans is not enough and wants to toss in a couple thousand more?

I think I need some new tires, and should buy some in bulk? I’m buying Goodyear.

I'm buying a set of Michelins for my SUV this week. Good-bye, Goodyear!

They’re an American company making tires i this country! Boycott Trump! Resign!

is it just MAGA hats or any political merchandise i dont see anything wrong if it is a blanket statement that says no political messaging of any kind.. oh by the way for someone that loves america why would you want to hurt an american business with american voters

NASCAR you are awfully quiet.

Screw Trump and his MAGA again BS.....

Proves he cares nothing about the American worker. He only wants to continue being a dictator

According to list I saw NO POLITICAL gear. So, why is that wrong? No Biden, no Trump. Maybe to avoid fights between their workers? Either way just ordered 8 new tires!

Misleading headline as usual. Dictating what political items can be worn obviously by party affiliation. Should be allowed to wear all party or preferably no party attire.

Why doesn't the article headline and first six paragraphs not mention Goodyear said the alleged 'materials' were fake?

Its no wonder that Wall St. bankers don't like .realdonaldtRUmp, they don't like politicians picking winners and losers in business as tRUmp does all the time.

Firestone Fan Myself 😎‼️ FirestoneAuto goodyear

Ohio are you listening ?

It wasn't just MAGA hats that they will not allow. Goodyear is trying to take away our freedom of speech. They have chose hate and destruction over AllLivesMatter and BackTheBlue .

exaggeratednews

Misleading headline. Employees can wear BLM and LGTBQ but no Blue Lives Matter, MAGA etc.

Yet blm shirts are just fine and sooooo patriotic The bosses need to be canned

Do Americans really know that the rest of the world is laughing at them?

backtheblimp

Doesn’t he realize Republicans work for Goodyear too. 🤷🏽‍♀️

To allow one slogan and not another is blatant discrimination

This is so fucking stupid, they banned any kind of political gear, and rightfully so, just like schools ban them, people are there to work, not to argue about their political views on company time/dime.

Good

In a factory or a office environment with 100’s of colleagues requires a sense of teamwork. Workplaces have racial, economic and political diversity. Unnecessary distractions are counterproductive. Goodyear, like other large and successful companies understands that.

Most companies have a code of conduct about wearing polical clothing.

If they only could afford them they don’t sell retreads hilarious

Hi USA today ! You might like my song 'Good Year' from my album 'Life Worth Living' Thank you ! 😀 rossroyce goodyear trendingmusic lifeworthlivingalbum

That’s what you got out of this? Of course you did. BackTheBlue

Trump says 'not happy' with Goodyear; would swap tires on presidential limo. Trump accused Goodyear Tire of 'playing politics' by forbidding workers from wearing hats supporting him, and said he would swap out the Goodyear tires on his limousine if there were an alternative.

Yet another impeachable example of grossly inappropriate conduct by this president- who must be voted out. Please.

He’s bashing one of Ohio’s greatest industries. Isn’t Ohio somewhat important during this election year?

Gotta change these I guess... and to be clear goodyear employees should all the same shirts if you have dress code rules .

realDonaldTrump is so anti American saying and promoting this

Trumplethinskin

Think I'll buy at least 4 sets of new Goodyear tires. Have always had good luck with them.

He’s so petty and clueless at the same time. He’ll find that a lot of places have similar policies regarding political/campaign clothing. Including the US military, schools & universities, gov’t agencies, and many more. But for Trump it’s all about him. UnfitToBePresident

Can Goodyear workers in China wear whatever they want... No blue lives mater.. How would Goodyear feel if BLM got reparations from them..

AmericanWorkers RememberInNovember Trump does NOT care about you or how anything he does may negatively affect you - it’s always all about him!

VoteBidenHarris2020

Based.

And what is on The Beast? TrumpIsALaughingStock TrumpThreatensAmerica

Guess the secret service will be roll in’ on Flintstone tires...American made 🇺🇸

Dump Goodyear stock while you can. BoycottGoodyear

How Truly Petty can this Narcissistic Crook get? That’s a rhetorical question, because everyone knows there’s No level of Pettiness below which Trump won’t stoop. Roll-on the day the Orange Bloke with Small Hands gets Jailed!

you forgot in the headline they said what is unacceptable: Blue Lives Matter, All Lives Matter, MAGA Attire, and political affiliated slogans or material. But BLM was acceptable. Buy Cooper Tires they are made in US GoodyearTiresAreMadeInChina

Could this be anymore stupid? where is the logic in trying to bring down an American business

Correction: Afer *incorrect* reports that....

It’s really NOT. A Good Year for anybody...

Business's should stay out of political issues. Whatever the owner believes, the business itself should be neutral. People should choose their own attire, and deal with whatever consequence.

Your tweet is misleading, Goodyear policy doesn't allow political garb, its not just magat hats, you can't wear 'lets go Joe' hats either. This policy is NO different from many other businesses stance. So now, tell us just who in hell is the actual SNOWFLAKE?

Donald Trump hates America. He only loves himself.

If they support BLM, then no. Supporting BLM is the same as supporting the KKK.

Let’s not be hypocrites, how is this different than what the liberals did to Goya and My Pillow? It’s not. How about we cancel the cancel culture together

Or Blue Lives Matter hats

This must be the new and improved capitalism...

So why are we boycotting Goodyear? Did their CEO steal money from a charity, or cheat on his wife with a pornstar, or lie on his taxes, or what?

And Democrats said to boycott Goya... How soon you forget

I think it’s time to go get me some new tires...

trump is a moron. Next tire change, I am heading straight to Goodyear

goodyear just lost a lifetime customer here.

Americans can’t even spell tyres correct 😅😅😅 America the world is laughing at you

Yeah, don't buy American tires, but buy his hats made in China. 'America first' agenda by the way.

So Trump wants Americans to buy tires from foreign-owned tire companies. Goodyear is the only major international tire company left that's headquartered in America. Makes sense. Trump's MAGA hats are made in China.

Bye bye Trump

They don’t allow any political clothing

Trump calls for boycotting an American company while pushing his made in China hats ?

Apparently companies must follow government requirements for dress code now. So much for Republicans being believers in a free market.

Goodyear American company what happen America First

I’m going to start buying them then Fuck trump

Good Year gets my vote as Company of the year.

Am so gonna buy some goodyear Tire this winter! 👍

There actually better, people buy them to feel the road.

It is going to be a very bad year for goodyear.

See, Trump may not like the MAGA hat part. Don't let that distract you from why most people have a problem with it, because Goodyear allows 'no political speech' but allows BLM and LGBT apparel. Limiting speech will never win for you. Allow all of it or none of it.

'...after reports that the company's zero tolerance policy doesn't allow employees to wear MAGA hats and other political affiliated slogans or material. '

Lol it’s an American based company that has zero tolerance on anything political. This goes for the majority of business, two things you don’t talk about at work, politics or religion.

Goodyear about to have one of their best sales years to date.

GoodbyeGoodyear goodyear
