So, your President tweets a ban on buying Goodyear tires, an American company founded

in Ohio over 100 years ago that employs thousands of your people. Your President did this because he was pissed that they wouldn't let employees wear his political hats to work.

Has it dawned on you yet that your President puts himself above lives, jobs and your wellbeing? Has it dawned on you yet that your President doesn't have the sense he was born with?

Has it dawned on you yet that you don't know from one day to the next what your President is going to do or what your life will be like next week or next month because he is unstable and has made your country unstable?

Are you sure that your President won't turn on you like he's turned on countless other people because you don't serve his purpose or stroke his ego?

If you had a choice between feeding your kids or supporting this human wrecking ball, you'd choose him?

Before you make that choice, don't listen to me...talk to some of the guys who have had a steady job at Goodyear, or somebody who is trying to put their life or their body back together after a bout with Covid-19, or a Vet who can't get his meds.

In short, get your head out of your ass and use it for a change.

He flew into a foaming orange rage over some bogus twitter bullshit. GoodYear should seek damages.

Alienating half your customers and employees runs counter to that foundational issue.

Goodyear did the right thing.

Getting their head out their ass is not something they can do. It has been up there for so long that it has become a permanent fixture

I hope the media will ask any and all Republicans in Congress that went on and on about Obama supposedly "choosing winners and losers".

he would find that they more than likely do not allow Biden hats either. If I had a business I would not allow political or religious attire to be worn by my employees. I would not accept political signs around my business either. I know this could be hurtful to a business. I know this because I have seen businesses around me do this and it has resulted in me to never use that business.

shitty MAGA hats, made in Jyna! Do they even know they are supporting China, over the USA? Biden/Harris has hats Made in the USA, by union workers. Just as it should be. Does Ivanka have the trademark for maga merchandise? It it all made in her sweatshops, with the profits going to her?

As long as Trump is "owning the libs" they're okay with him screwing them over - as long as the other guys get hurt more.

All of us, doesn't matter if you're Republican, Democrat or other, are caught in the grip of a MADMAN! He is going to say and do whatever he wants until by the grace of God, he is defeated and removed!! I've known it would come to this since 2015 and hear me when I say...WE AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET!
