~~Trumps~~ Captain Bligh business advisory councils disband as chief executives repudiate president over Charlottesville views President Trump’s relationship with the American business community suffered a major setback on Wednesday as the president was forced to shut down his major business advisory councils after corporate leaders repudiated his comments on the violence in Charlottesville this weekend. Trump announced the disbanding of the two councils — the Strategy & Policy Forum and the Manufacturing Council, which hosted many of the top corporate leaders in America — amid a growing uproar by chief executives furious over Trump's decision to equate the actions of white supremacists and protesters in remarks Tuesday at Trump Tower. Earlier Wednesday, the CEOs of Campbell Soup and the conglomerate 3M resigned from the manufacturing council. “Racism and murder are unequivocally reprehensible and are not morally equivalent to anything else that happened in Charlottesville,” Campbell Soup chief executive Denise Morrison said. “I believe the president should have been — and still needs to be — unambiguous on that point.” Kenneth C. Frazier, chief executive of Merck, is the latest CEO to resign from one of the president's advisory councils. Here are six CEOs who have distanced themselves from the president. (Taylor Turner/The Washington Post) As the number of resignations swelled, Trump announced on Twitter Wednesday afternoon that he'd shut down the councils. “Rather than putting pressure on the businesspeople of the Manufacturing Council & Strategy & Policy Forum. I am ending both,” he wrote. The dissolution of the councils was a remarkable moment for Trump, who has made his corporate experience and ability to leverage America's business potential as one of his chief credentials. It also marks a rapid descent for a president who has alternatively praised and attacked the decisions of corporate leaders, sometimes making unverified or false claims, and whose policy choices on issues like immigration and climate change have been criticized as anti-business. Many corporate leaders have still stayed close to the White House, in hopes that having a voice at the table was better than none at all, and with an eye toward winning favor as Washington eyed changes to the tax code and infrastructure spending that could be worth trillions. But Trump's insistence that blame fell on “many sides” for the violence that occurred in Charlottesville over the weekend, which included the alleged killing of a woman by a white supremacist driving a car into a crowd of protesters, seemed to push many chief executives to reconsider their relationship. Merck chief executive Ken Frazier, one of the few African Americans represented among the business leaders advising Trump, was the first to resign from the manufacturing council. Trump lashed out at the decision, criticizing Merck for boosting drug prices. The decision to disband the councils offers both the companies a chance to sever ties without attacking Trump by name. Still, it was clear that Trump's remarks on Tuesday at Trump Tower was a breaking point. Johnson & Johnson chief executive Alex Gorsky, who had previously said he would remain on the manufacturing council in order to have a voice at the table, announced Trump's latest remarks were not sustainable. “The President’s most recent statements equating those who are motivated by race-based hate with those who stand up against hatred is unacceptable and has changed our decision to participate in the White House Manufacturing Advisory Council,” Gorsky said. Let see what the Comrade Obnoxious Noxiousness said on his shitter account before this happened – two – two tics till I dig up one of his many screaming turds Now that Ken Frazier of Merck Pharma has resigned from President's Manufacturing Council,he will have more time to LOWER RIPOFF DRUG PRICES! and member ship went up from $100 000 to $200 000 Mar-a-Lago did it not since you became president? 5:54 am - 14 Aug 2017 or this one 2 days later and two hours ago? Rather than putting pressure on the businesspeople of the Manufacturing Council & Strategy & Policy Forum, I am ending both. Thank you all! 10:14 am - 16 Aug 2017

When it comes to Muslims, it's excuses for them. When it comes to White Supremacists, even though the other party started the violence first, it's still the White Supremacists fault 100%. Murder is worst. BUT, in this case, seriously, it wasn't unprovoked murder. I feel like the equivalent of this type of murder is, where a man walks into a bedroom and see his wife fucking another man on their marital bed, and then murdered the man in rage. This is not equivalent to the Islamic Terrorism. In this case, the counter protestors INTENTIONALLY went to the site to provoke the White Supremacists. It would be like walking up to a group of ISIS people and protesting to their face too. I just can't stand the hypocrisy. If I walked up to a group of ISIS people and protest to their face, and threw rocks at them. I know they are gonna come after me and kill me.

I've mostly left almost all of your posts alone but now you've really confirmed for me after all of theses years...you are so terribly wrong. Liberals 'excuse' the Muslim for their terrorism ? Backing up or driving a car anyway at all, into a crowd of people was provoked and not an act of 2nd degree murder ? It was hardly self defense. Is 'provoked' murder just alright in your country ? If so, then it really isn't murder at all then. I guess in your country, say for example, road-rage would be a 'provoked murder' and it's just ok to run him down. You will have to prove to me that the counter protesters 'intentionally' went there to provoke any violence let alone murder. One would be much closer to the truth to assert that the Neo-Nazis assembled to provoke violence as they have before.

The consequence is that the influence of the military on Trump's policies relatively increases.

Yes, Liberals ALWAYS says, don't blame Muslims for Islamic Terrorism, and Islamic Terrorism Has nothing to do with Muslims. Yet now ONE lone Nazi decided to drive a car into a crowd, EVERYONE is throwing stones at the ENTIRE group of Protestors and a whole Nazi organization. I mean All the Protestors were armed with guns right? IF they wanted to kill, they shouldn't use the damn car. They should have took their guns and spray bullets into the crowd. But they didn't! There didn't seem to be any shooting. Isn't that hypocrisy? On top of this. This was two parties who hate each other gathering in the same area, both came armed, ready for a fight. This wasn't innocent bystanders minding their own business and the Nazi attacked them unprovoked. This is totally different from all the terrorists attack from Muslims that involves cars driven into crowd. Like the one that happened in France? To even compare that to this, where counter protestors came armed to disrupt a protest is absolutely crazy. This is not terrorism. At the very most, this is an act of retaliation for the counter protestors using violence on the protestors. Violence breeds violence back. Like fucking seriously, I can't believe how you guys are all COMPLETELY do not care that Counter Protestors used violence on the Protestors at THEIR Protest. quote: I guess in your country, say for example, road-rage would be a 'provoked murder' and it's just ok to run him down. I want to address this "road rage". Innocent driver just driving on the road, stop at a traffic light, minding his own business, singing in his car, then road rage driver got out of his car, and pummel this dude to death for annoying him with his singing = 100% road rage driver fault, and this is what islamic terrorists usually do with their car attacks In this Virginia scenario is equivalent to the driver throwing a rock into another driver's car, breaking his window and then the driver from that car with the broken window walk right out of the car, and drag the guy who damage his car out of the car, and pummel him to death. NOW, there is 50-50 fault here. Can you see the difference? quote: You will have to prove to me that the counter protesters 'intentionally' went there to provoke any violence let alone murder.

Read my post on eye witness account HERE. Last on this with you. Depends on who you wish to believe. As I read about this, it was the white supremacists who came as basically a large swat team. Gear, weapons and supplies and started the violence. Plus, you take it upon yourself to claim that bystanders were innocent, yet choose to declare...some not. Can't do that, you weren't there. But there is no equivalence between even loud and physical protesting including throwing rocks, with driving a car into a crowd. And no, there is no rage that justifies murder. The only 'provoked' murder there is...is self defense. This was not that. Oh as for these business leaders that left that council...they have it correct.
