Dump calls for Goodyear boycott again, says workers can always find another job

This fucking idiot.

I really hope he tanks in Ohio over this.

And of course there’s Psycho Jim right there parroting everything this idiot blabbers.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Gov. Mike DeWine said Thursday he disagreed with President Donald Trump’s call for a boycott of Akron-based Goodyear Tire & Rubber.

The announcement puts DeWine, a Republican, directly at odds with Trump, also a Republican, over one of Ohio’s largest employers with just 75 days to go until the Nov. 3 election. Trump and campaign officials have maintained that they support a boycott of the company.

(snip)

Trump said he wasn’t concerned about the jobs at Goodyear facilities because workers could find another job, even as the country is in a recession and the unemployment rate in the state was still above 10% according to preliminary figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics released in June, the last publicly available data.

"I can guarantee I poll very well with all those workers in Goodyear," Trump said.

(snip)

As DeWine typically does, he avoided mentioning Trump at all, including whether he thought it was appropriate for the president to attack a private company over a political matter.

What a wimp DeWine is! Stand up for Ohio, Mikey! Sheeeeez!

I’ll bet if this happened in New York Cuomo would tell Trump to go fuck himself!

But, several foreign based tire makers have multiple plants in the US.
Michelin alone has 8 or 10 plants in the US, but they're not a US company.
Pirelli, Yokahoma, & Bridgestone have multiple plants here.
So, lots of tires are made here but only 2 tire makers are american firms.

inexplicably fell for his "Man of the People" routine in 2016. Hopefully, this changes that flawed judgement.

Goodyear is only one of two American tire manufacturers and you never find Cooper tires on new cars.

My sister says trump signs are all over where she lives. She lives real close to Lordstown and you think after he lied to all those people about saving it they’d get a clue. Some company did go in there but only a couple hundred, down from many thousands when GM was there. But there’s a lot of stupid racists around there, fertile group for his cult.

but seeing the same thing here. Can't swing a dead toupee without hitting a Trump sign around these parts. There are also a lot of Trump flags on poles and houses. Scads of them. Keep telling myself it's just a vocal minority, but, I said that in 2004, too.

I don't put out a sign because Trumpers are so obnoxious...when Obama was running in 12, some dogs were poisoned in homes where there were Obama signs...so I have four dogs. Also, my neighbor had her sign burned. This was in Cortland, Warren area. We now live in Cleveland.

Through all of their other connections and Board member positions to pull the rug out from underneath the tRUMP shit stain on the United States of America???

No, it is not enough for them cut their losses with one corporation, while profiteering through all of their other connections and corporations. Those people have the power to put an end to all this tRUMP fraud that is threatening the existence of the United States of America and yank the choke collars on all of the Republicans in the House and Senate to get rid of their failure.

even knowing that it was not personally against him, he STILL doubles down by insulting the workers and reinforcing his call for a boycott. What an evil, stupid POS!

I hate him with a passion, but what is really bothering me more and more these days is just how many people still love this guy after everything he has done, said and completely fucked up. I mean, what on earth is wrong with them. I really don't think you can be sane and support him in good conscience.
