Did Trump Fall for Fake News?
It seems like it.
All Goodyear did, that they admit, was ask employees to not engage in political campaigning which of course rules out MAGA hats.
Regardless, Tweeting Ohioans “Don’t buy GOODYEAR TIRES. Get better tires for far less!” is blatantly stupid even by Trumpian standards.
That foolish Tweet may easily cost Trump the state of Ohio.
Mish
Does Goodyear even manufacture tires in the U.S. those employees are probably sales, engineering , distribution, top management, etc…. but guessing not manufacturing…
To hell with Goodyear, I will never buy another Goodyear product.
So the people who say carbon dioxide is the end of the world are cheering on Goodyear?
You do realize that even electric cars have rubber tires? Or did you assume they have electric tires?
Predictably, you forgot to mention that Goodyear banned support of “Blue Lives Matter”, and “All Lives Matter”, but condones BLM.
gotta like GOODYEAR for sticking foot in said mouth
THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR STATING OBVIOUS and setting off racist haters(democrats)
The flaw in Trump’s #MAGA rhetoric is for America to be great, America has to have Trump’s fat ass sitting in the Oval Office.
When you read Emilia’s tweet, we are reminded that America is great without Trump. America’s greatness is because of innovative companies like Goodyear and hard working Americans who continue to keep us as one of the leaders in this world whether they are on the line in Akron or the scientist in the lab creating better tracking tires to keep our families safe.
All Trump has really done for my family is ensure we are further enslaved with taxes to the tune of $7 trillion more deeper in debt.
well in fairness Trump was acting viscerally and impulsively. Had he known the facts he would have made a different choice perhaps….But then again that’s the problem. Was this moment really any different than all the other quick decisions from the gut Trump engages in?
This calls for a completely stupid and futile gesture on the part of somebody, or Trump might lose…
Oh wait….we have the DNC working on an assault weapons ban plank….that could do it.
What would it take to create a third party that could win, Mish? Because the ones we have now are NOT cutting it.
“Get better tires for far less!”
Trump would be hawking $5000 cars in a plaid blazer if he hadn’t won the womb lottery.
Don’t leave out he was bailed out by the Rothchild Bank when he should have been left homeless for bankrupting a casino.
Maybe radio ads? He does kind of remind me of Herb Tarlek.
“That foolish Tweet may easily cost Trump the state of Ohio.”
…
It is August.
Election in November.
Undecideds wait till post Labor Day before making decision. As always.
This will be LONG forgotten by election time. Plenty of Craziness between now and election. Would not surprise me in the least if Trump tweets how he loves Goodyear in near future. 180s and Unpredictability DJT’s MO.
At SOME point Biden will need to crawl out his hole to face scrutiny / debate. My guess … it won’t be pretty. Will it be enough for DJT to get re-elected? Stay tuned.
Let’s see how successful the boycott is and if it leads to job losses in Ohio. It may not be forgotten at all.
hey BLAME Goodyear HR FOR BEING STUPID not President Trump
Actually people are deciding everyday, especially in places like Ohio. Trump just seems to constantly shrink his base. Even you have to admit, this doesn’t help
are Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) political operatives? Is stopping the Opiod Crisis a campaign slogan? Are organizations against spousal abuse political? No but BLM has been so politicized by Fox news that so many people think they are. Take a step back and realize human rights and social inequalities are human issues, not political, but we can vote to make these changes. This is where your confusing lies.
Come on Mish, BLM and Gay rights are democratic slogans. Supporting them is every bit as political as MAGA.
Not that I agree with what Trump did.
They are popular political movements, the Democrats didn’t create them and they don’t own them. The Repubs could endorse and align themselves with those movements if they wished, but instead they have declared them to be enemies. That is a Repub choice.
NRA gear would be ok then?
I guess it’s just a random coincidence that democratic mayors are painting Black Live Matter on the streets.
Or could it be mayors of cities with a large Black population are painting them?

I am a strong supporter of free speech, but I also recognize that free speech only applies to public property, and that it can create problems in a work place. Therefore, I have no problem with a company banning all clothes with political slogans. Obviously, I have no problem with a company allowing all clothes with a political slogan, if they choose to go that route. Where I do have a problems is with a company selecting what political slogans can be worn, and which ones can not be worn.
Absolutely all companies should be banned from any political endorsment or contributions to political parties, politicians or lobbyists. Only people should have a say.
“Only people should have a say“
YES! Agree. Only people have rights. A corporation was absurdly declared a person with free speech rights. Just ending that would solve a lot of problems.
Wrong again, standard for you it seems. They said BLM was ok, MAGA not. Ever think the employees at Goodyear might just be a little pissed their company is siding with BLM? But hey, if it’s pandering you want you always have Biden to vote for.
Remember the words, “snowflake”, “triggered”?
Who’s the one melting now?
Who needs a “safe zone’?
