The spat follows a Fox News report that the company's employees were banned from wearing MAGA-themed clothing at the workplace, while Black Lives Matter and LGBT+ slogans were acceptable.

Unfortunately for Trump, however, a boycott of Goodyear would require him to change his presidential fleet of heavily-armoured Cadillacs, which use Goodyear Regional RHS II tyres manufactured in Luxembourg.

A company spokesperson later denied that the instructions came from corporate headquarters, laying the blame on its Topeka, Kansas branch, and clarifying that pro-police clothing was allowed.
