Trump calls for boycott of Goodyear--company bans MAGA hats to avoid political campaigning at work

.

President Donald Trump is calling for his supporters to boycott the iconic 121-year old Goodyear Tire company after the company banned employees from political campaigning at work, including wearing MAGA hats.

“Don’t buy GOODYEAR TIRES – They announced a BAN ON MAGA HATS,” Trump tweeted Wednesday morning. “Get better tires for far less! (This is what the Radical Left Democrats do. Two can play the same game, and we have to start playing it now!).”

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.

Most companies ban politics at work now, in order to prevent arguments.

This is a reasonable request. My hubby works at A major airline and they can’t wear any hats with any designs or political logos on them only if it’s a company logo hat.
