Trump Calls for Boycott of Goodyear Tires

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump joined conservative commentators in calling for a boycott of tire manufacturer Goodyear after the company reportedly banned employees from wearing “MAGA” attire. Trump added that “this is what the Radical Left Democrats do,” and that “two can play the same game, and we have to start playing it now!” The original reporting of the ban cited a training slideshow photographed by a Goodyear employee. Goodyear clarified that while it did not create the slide in question, its policy was to prohibit workplace expressions supporting political campaigns and to allow expressions on “racial justice and equity issues.” Trump’s call for a boycott was promptly covered by outlets on all sides. Some coverage from left-rated outlets framed Trump’s boycott as an embrace of cancel culture.
