BYMORGAN CHALFANT-

On Wednesday.

President Trump on Wednesday discouraged Americans from purchasing Goodyear tires after it was reported that company employees in Kansas were told not to wear “Make America Great Again” attire or other politically-affiliated gear.

President Trump tweeted Wednesday morning, adding in parentheses, “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!”

An NBC News TV affiliate in Topeka, Kan.,reported Tuesday on a slide purportedly shown at a Goodyear diversity training that listed “Black Lives Matter,” “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender pride” under “acceptable” while branding “Blue Lives Matter,” “All Lives Matter,” “MAGA attire,” and “politically-affiliated slogans or material” under “unacceptable."

The news outlet was told by a Goodyear spokeswoman that the company seeks to foster an “inclusive and respectful workplace” by allowing employees to express support for racial justice.
