Goodyear Goof

In which the president of the United States calls for a boycott of Goodyear tires, apparently in response to a Fox segment he was watching.

Goodyear is based in Ohio (a key swing state!) and employs 64,000 people https://t.co/96ucr8Ub6w

Goodyear is the 4th largest employer in #Akron, with about 3000 employees. Trump wants to cancel their jobs and tells people to buy cheaper (imported) tires. #OhioForBiden pic.twitter.com/OscskkBHIq

@goodyear supplies over 50% of local, county, State, military & Federal government tires. A boycott would require a 50% shutdown of all government & military operations until a replacement company could manufacture & deliver the same amount of tires. Estimate 3 years. @MSNBC @CNN https://t.co/xgrThcDFgq

Political attire does not belong in the workplace, and that includes your MAGA crap. There's no better tire than a Goodyear tire. The fact that you tweet something like this shows how misguided you are. You're not the right person to serve as President.

Dear Ohio Voters,

Goodyear Tires is the 6th largest manufacturer of goods in Ohio. Donald Trump just told Americans to boycott the company, which has sent the stock plummeting, and may put many Ohioans out of work.

Joe Biden will support Ohio. Remember that on November 3rd!

Tens of thousands of Americans are employed by GOODYEAR, many, if not most of those folks live in states you’re trying to “win” in November. So, this Liddle middle finger to the company that puts food on their tables, isn’t gonna go over especially well in say, Ohio or Florida. pic.twitter.com/5mvI9DPo9r
