While the overall stock market is up, Goodyear is down.
That’s because they’ve landed themselves into a massive PR nightmare after a leaked slide from one of their diversity training programs showed that the company supports BLM and LGBTQ, but does not support police, all lives, or MAGA.

President Trump called for the boycott, pointing out that we need to start seriously fighting back against these communist leftists.
He’s right.
Here’s what POTUS said:
“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!).”

Needless to say, that call for a boycott caused Goodyear stock to drop. Just an hour ago, they were already down 4 cents.
Sean Davis, editor at The Federalist had this to say: “Goodyear’s stock price is down over 4 percent so far today (the overall market is slightly up) following news that the company endorsed “Black Lives Matter” and banned employee support for police. The stock took a nose-dive after Trump called for a boycott.”

Goodyear is a big mess right now. When news first broke on this story, they doubled down on their “policy” and issued a statement defending it.
When that didn’t work, and the backlash got worse, they issued a new “word salad” statement, trying to say that the slide that was in the “diversity training” wasn’t from them…and that they support the police.
Nonsense.
They even blocked everyone on social media from responding to the false statement by changing the settings to the post so nop replies were allowed.
