President Trump Donald John Trump issues from the Democratic National Convention What we’re going to do at the Biden 2020 conference Chris Wallace says Biden’s acceptance speech is “hugely effective” at updating the presidential car tires with another brand.
“I’m not satisfied with Goodyear because they’re in politics. And the funny thing is that the other people who paint for Goodyear, I can assure you that I’m doing very well with all those wonderful Goodyear painters,” Trump said at a press conference at the White House, following an earlier tweet in which he suggested to his supporters. boycott Goodyear for his policy that prohibits painters from dressing in “Make America Great Again” and other political garments in the place of paintings.
“When they say you can’t have ‘Blue Lives Matter’, you can’t show a blue line, you can’t wear a ‘MAGA’ hat but you can have other things that are Marxist in nature, there’s anything with the top of Goodyear,” Trump added.
The president, when asked if he was looking for the federal government to prevent the purchase of Goodyear products, said it is ultimately an individual resolution to buy them, but that “I don’t recommend it.”
Trump then answered in the affirmative when asked if he would update the Goodyear tires of the presidential car, known as the “Beast,” if there was an alternative.
“Yes, I would do that. I’d trade them for what I heard. We’ll see what happens,” Trump said. “Many other people will no longer need to buy their product. They’ll buy it from a competitor, also made in the United States.”
Trump’s tweet Wednesday morning followed a report through a local Kansas media outlet on a slide supposedly shown in a Goodyear diversity education in Topeka indexing “Black Lives Matter,” “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride” as “acceptable,” while classifying “Blue Lives Matter,” “All Lives Matter,” , “MAGA costume” and “slogans or affiliated political material”.
The company said Wednesday morning that the symbol of the slide, which toured social media, created “misconceptions” about the company’s policy. Goodyear stated that the visual element was not created or distributed through Goodyear Corporate, nor is it a component of a diversity education course.
The company stated that it did not tolerate any form of harassment or discrimination in the office and therefore asked affiliates to “refrain from speaking in the office of the political crusade of any candidate or political party, as well as similar forms of promotion that do not aggravate the problems of justice and racial equity.” He also rejected advice that he was “anti-police” and said he was in favor of equality and implementation.
Goodyear shares fell wednesday after the president’s tweet to 2.36%. The company is one of the largest tire brands in the world and employs 60,000 people. It is headquartered in Akron, Ohio, a key state on the battlefield in the 2020 election, which Trump won four years ago.
White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow, Larry KudlowMORE and industry adviser Peter Navarro said they hadn’t noticed the tweet Wednesday afternoon when asked about it. In an interview at CNBC, Kudlow said he knew nothing but would keep up with Trump on the issue, adding that, in general, the Trump administration’s policy is “buying Americans.”
