It also stressed that it does ask its workers to “refrain from workplace expressions in support of political campaigning for any candidate or political party, as well as similar forms of advocacy that fall outside the scope of racial justice and equity issues.”

It’s not unusual for companies to discourage employees from engaging in political activity at the workplace through their electronic communications and dress code.

Trump's presidential limousine, referred to as “The Beast”, uses Goodyear tires.

“I would swap them out, based on what I heard. We’ll see what happens," Trump said, when asked about Goodyear in a evening press briefing.

“Look, you’re going to have a lot of people not wanting to buy that product anymore."

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Goodyear should further clarify its policy, and she said support for Blue Lives Matter is an equity issue.

“If you can wear a Black Lives Matter hat, guess what, you should be able to wear a Blue Lives Matter one, too," she said.

Goodyear has a more than 120-year history in Ohio, a battleground state in the presidential election. Most of its competition is headquartered outside the United States.

Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, tweeted that “It’s absolutely despicable that the President would call for a boycott of an American company, based in Akron, that employs thousands of US workers.”

Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, said Trump had promised to bring manufacturing jobs back to Ohio, but instead was jeopardizing them.

“Goodyear employs thousands of American workers, including in Ohio, where it is headquartered. To President Trump, those workers and their jobs aren’t a source of pride, just collateral damage in yet another one of his political attacks," Biden said.
