President Donald Trump said that he would “swap out” Goodyear tires from his presidential limousine nicknamed “The Beast” after earlier calling for the company to be boycotted.
“On the Goodyear issue, you ride on Goodyear tires in the presidential limousine. If there were an alternative, you want those tires swapped out?” asked Fox News White House correspondent John Roberts during a Wednesday press conference.
Trump responded, “Yeah, I would do that. I would swap them out based on what I heard. We’ll see what happens. Look. you’re going to have lot of people not wanting to buy that product anymore. They’ll buy it from a competitor — made in the USA, too.”

I was there a bit later but I know of the book you speak but I just don’t have copy of it. Not too many fond memories of those days.
Firestone also makes excellent tri-tip sandwiches out of San Luis Obispo, CA. (Same people).
Santa Maria tri-tip: smoked with wood from a special oak tree that only grows in Coastal Central CA.
shared on FB.. gave you credit. LOVE IT
Not at all. President Trump, and the rest of us are fighting a much more important battle. We're fighting alongside the thousands of conservatives, patriots, and Republicans who happen to work at Goodyear and companies like them. Right now the person who leaked the photo of the left wing tyranny being imposed upon Goodyear employees is at risk of losing their job for telling America what is really going on at Goodyear.
We, and President Trump, are working to ensure major American corporations don't punish people with "Zero Tolerance" plans that prevent people from discussing "racial equity" in ways that differ from what the Marxist left wants to force everyone to say.
This was not shown at Corporate...but rather down at the factory level.
I think the board is asking around right now and trying to figure out who started this mess, and it probably leads back to someone in corporate HR.
Once they identify the person...that’s probably the end of their employment with the company, and then some recovery group will be hired to say it was a mistake on one employees part to make the statement. I’d expect this to be wrapped up by next week.
Not too many fond memories of those days.That might explain your bitterness.
It’s why I like Trump.
Actually there are other reasons as well.
Then it shall be a “Forever” stamp. Perfect!
Exactly.
“Unfortunately, BLM terrorists would probably start attacking their stores.”
Unfortunately, we have to resort to the same tactics if we want to win this culture war. The unprincipled CEOs will always take the side of the people that threatens to cause him the most pain.
Unfortunately, I bought 4 new Goodyear tires about a month ago. If I had known, they were going to get woke, I would have bought Firestone or another brand. There is no way I could have known. Unless Goodyear gets a clue, those will be the last Goodyear tires I will ever buy. 🤪 Let’s see if they NOW get unwoke. 🤣
Right, there need to be repercussions to set an example
Get woke, go broke. Cooper is from Ohio too.
I guess the Nazi's at Goodyear are okay as long as they keep people employed. You probably like prisons too
Ah, so. No need of their tires anyway. My 4Runner prefers BF Goodrich.
Call your local tire stores and tell them to stop selling Goodyear tires.
With a $4 trillion budget and spending probably $10 trillion this year, you’re worried about a few tires? Really? I realize they are special tires and cost an arm and a few legs, but still, it’s not even a drop in the bucket.
Not true. Yokohama tires are made in America at 3 different facilities. IIRC, Mishelin and BFGoodrich tires are also manufactured in the US. Other than Yokohama, I don't know who owns Mishelin or BFGoodrich.
The President also depends on Goodyear, with his life, every time he rides in the limo. Do you really have that much trust in tires manufactured by a corporation that encourages the promotion of Democrat terrorist organizations on its premises?
How do you know one of their corporate-approved terrorist/terrorist-sympathizer employees wasn’t working the production line when the President’s tires rolled off? Probably a limited market for tires of that spec and Democrats likely hate all the potential customers.
Big risk to take just to show that you’re above it all.
