LATE BREAKING UPDATE!!!
Trump Launches Goodyear Boycott – Stock Prices Nosedive as a Result
“Don’t buy GOODYEAR TIRES – They announced a BAN ON MAGA HATS,” he said
Responding to the outrage over Goodyear’s alleged “diversity training” that suppresses conservative viewpoints, President Trump said “don’t buy Goodyear tires.”
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!).

A recent statement from Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company said, in part, “Goodyear is committed to fostering an inclusive and respectful workplace where all of our associates can do their best in a spirit of teamwork.”
Sounds nice, but its a lot of hot air. In reality, Goodyear is “inclusive” (I’ve come to hate that word) only as it pertains to the Marxist Liberal agenda.
Goodyear’s corporate office out of Akron, Ohio has required all employees to attend diversity training. “Diversity Training” really means “here’s the way you must think”. Included in the training was this gem. (You can read the contents below)

It’s hard to read here, but it says,
Zero Tolerance
Acceptable
- Black Lives Matter (BLM)
- Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT)
Unacceptable
- Blue Lives Matter
- All Lives Matter
- MAGA Attire
- Political Affiliated Slogans or Material
To begin with, how do they not see the irony of saying ‘Zero Tolerance, except we’ll tolerate BLM & LGBT’? How is it Diversity Training when diverse opinions are not allowed?
The employee that took and leaked the photo said in an interview, under the agreement of anonymity due to fears they could lose their job,
“If someone wants to wear a BLM shirt in here, then cool. I’m not going to get offended about it. But at the same time, if someone’s not going to be able to wear something that is politically based, even in the farthest stretch of the imagination, that’s discriminatory. If we’re talking about equality, then it needs to be equality. If not, it’s discrimination.”
Goodyear said that they allow associates to support “racial injustice,” but not advocacy that falls “outside the scope of equality issues.”
Is it not equality to think that All Lives Matter? Is it not equality to think that Blue Lives Matter? Is it equality that ONLY Black Lives Matter? Is it equality to accept ONLY the LGBT lifestyle but not the heterosexual lifestyle espoused by over 95% of all Americans?
Goodyear’s statement also said,
“We do allow our associates to express their support on racial injustice and other equity issues but ask that they refrain from workplace expressions, verbal or otherwise, in support of political campaigning for any candidate or political party as well as other similar forms of advocacy that fall outside the scope of equity issues.”
