Trump’s supporters were being attacked. His supporters in the GY company were basically being told comply or be fired and you must support whatever immorality the company actively supports. Trump was trying to support his supporters’ civil and moral rights in the company....and if GY wants to act anti-american in their policies the why should he reward them with Government contracts? Cooper tires are American made and some foreign businesses make their tires here thus employing Americans. There are American alternatives.
GY’s non-apology apology at least shows that they know they have cooked their own goose. I can believe that the diversity training” slide” didn’t originate from and wasn’t necessarily authorised by the GY high command. It might be more of a case of the Higher ups trusting too much in its HR department to ensure that GY’s diversity and racial hiring bonafides were on the up and up and discovering to their horror that the company’s HR dept. had started a fire that might burn the company down.
Something like that was starting to happen at the Red Bull USA HQ but the wily Austrian owner and Trump supporter caught wind of it and canned the CEO and the Hr Diversity officer and the whole front office and its publicity sections are undergoing a major overhaul. The owner/ top ceo didn’t want another Gillette debacle to happen to his company.
“GY’s non-apology apology at least shows that they know they have cooked their own goose.”
I get the sense, from their evolving “apologies”, that they were sincerely trying to ban all political messaging at the workplace. But, as is common with Leftists, they regard their own dogmas as unquestionable, objective Truths, that are therefore not political. It is irrelevant to them that the majority of Americans might not share their notion of “truth”.
Oh they are just playing CYA. You better believe that was approved by corporate. These type of training programs always have someone from corporates hand in them from start to finish. This way someone from corporate can always have a huge attaboy from the higher ups.
