Trump Says Goodyear Tires Will Be Removed From Presidential Limousine, Doubles Down On Boycott
Daily Caller ^ | August 19, 2020 | Phillip Nieto

Posted on 08/19/2020 7:08:32 PM PDT by McGruff

President Donald Trump said that he would “swap out” Goodyear tires from his presidential limousine nicknamed “The Beast” after earlier calling for the company to be boycotted.

“On the Goodyear issue, you ride on Goodyear tires in the presidential limousine. If there were an alternative, you want those tires swapped out?” asked Fox News White House correspondent John Roberts during a Wednesday press conference.

Trump responded, “Yeah, I would do that. I would swap them out based on what I heard. We’ll see what happens. Look. you’re going to have lot of people not wanting to buy that product anymore. They’ll buy it from a competitor — made in the USA, too.”

It’s going to cost people jobs in Ohio when the stock goes down, a state he needs to win. Also I think it’s illegal for a sitting president to call for a boycott. All so he can use it to make a point about “cancel culture” that apparently was a misunderstanding anyway and wasn’t from corporate. Oh and when he should probably be focusing on other things

Ha ha did I mention everything they are going to say

Yes, Goodyear employees uninvolved in this will take a hit. That’s why it’s so important for HR - or any leadership in a company - to make wise decisions. That slide was not a wise decision.

#23: "finance the swap and have the America-hating Goodyear tires repurposed elsewhere."

They didn’t think they needed to be - they thought that their point of view *owned* that company and right now they’re right.

Look at the pic of the training slide upthread. BLM and LGBTQOMGWTFBBQ apparel and propaganda are okay for Goodyear employees to promote, MAGA, Blue/All Lives Matter and similar are now considered racist and inappropriate to discuss or support.

They are allowing Black Lives Matter, LBG and Trans clothing/hats/etc at Goodyear, but are banning Blue Lives Matter, All Lives Matter and MAGA.

Whites have rights too. It’s high time for a wave of lawsuits.

How about waiting until the tires need replacing to switch brands rather than waste taxpayer money on what might be perfectly fine tires?

Where have you been .this past 4 years?

Just the Trump modus operandi

Unexpected

Massive

Dims discombobulated

You really think that the Trumpster is going to wait till the tires on the Beast have worn down?

Too late to “clarify,” they put their stance in writing

To my knowledge, other countries have tire manufacturers that produce similarly resistant product. Michelin actually made some of the first modern tires of the type, called the Auto Porteur tire, for example. Sumitomo of Japan also has some, etc.
