President Donald Trump on Wednesday promoted a boycott of Goodyear, angrily reacting to a viral company policy that banned employees from wearing “MAGA Attire.”
“Don’t buy GOODYEAR TIRES - They announced a BAN ON MAGA HATS. Get better tires for far less!” Trump wrote on Twitter. “(This is what the Radical Left Democrats do. Two can play the same game, and we have to start playing it now!).”
The president appeared to reference an image taken during a Goodyear diversity training slideshow that went viral this week.
According to Kansas television station WIBW, a slide labeled “Zero Tolerance” was presented at the company’s Topeka, Kan. plant and spelled out appropriate and inappropriate displays.
“Black Lives Matter” and “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride” were considered acceptable. Listed under the “unacceptable” section were “Blue Lives Matter,” “All Lives Matter,” “MAGA Attire” and “Political Affiliated Slogans or Material.”
WIBW reported that a worker at the Topeka plant captured the picture and provided it to the news station.
Goodyear is headquartered in Ohio, a 2020 swing state, and employs roughly 63,000 people. Representatives from Goodyear did not respond to an immediate request for comment.
Trump’s Goodyear attack is the latest in a long line of proposed boycotts from the president. Since 2015, Trump has called on boycotts of numerous prominent companies, ranging from Apple to CNN.
Liberal boycotts of companies with conservative ties have frequently irked Trump. The Trump campaign played up their support for Goya last month, after the food company drew heat from the left after the CEO praised Trump at a White House event.
In July 2019, Trump used similar rhetoric when defending his friend and Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus.
“More and more the Radical Left is using Commerce to hurt their ‘Enemy.’ They put out the name of a store, brand or company, and ask their so-called followers not to do business there,” Trump wrote on Twitter at the time. “They don’t care who gets hurt, but also don’t understand that two can play that game!”
