Here’s why US President Donald Trump called for boycott of Goodyear tires

US President Donald Trump called for a boycott of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co, claiming the company is “playing politics” by banning hats bearing his campaign phrase “Make America Great Again” (MAGA).

“Don’t buy GOODYEAR TIRES – They announced a BAN ON MAGA HATS. 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!),” Trump wrote in a tweet.

Trump’s tweet followed a news report about a training session at the Ohio-based company’s headquarters that discussed political attire.

Coincidentally, the presidential limousine “The Beast” is outfitted with custom Goodyear Tires.
