Just like that. And not the two that quit yesterday evening
quote:

Moments after President Trump's off-the-rails news conference, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka and Thea Lee are the fifth and sixth top business leaders to quit Trump's manufacturing council. Scott Paul of Alliance for American Manufacturing, Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier, Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank and Intel CEO Brian Krzanich all quit the presidential manufacturing council after Trump took two days to denounce white supremacy.

quote:

"We cannot sit on a council for a President who tolerates bigotry and domestic terrorism," the organization said in a statement. "President Trump's remarks today repudate his forced remarks yesterday about the KKK and neo-Nazis. We must resign on behalf of America's working people, who reject all notions of legitimacy of these bigoted groups."

Grandstanders. AFL-CIO are union scum anyway and should have never been invited to be on the council.

Why is there a manufacturing council to begin with?

Why is this comment even necessary. Report the news, not your opinion.

Or did they quit because he denounced white supremacy?

I guess the left doesn't really want a seat at the table. Since they take glee in leftists leaving. Fine by me. No need to listen to you sore losers, anyway. Enjoy the next 7.5 years.

Well that's it folks. Time to wrap it up and call Hillary so she can take her rightful place in the Oval Office.

Every time Trump blows out the media, has a great day, proves the left wrong, makes the regressives go into hiding, this kid throws up more vomit on the board!

Truly can't get over the fact that we will never have another black president after the fiasco of the first one.

These posts reak of desperation!

He can say whatever he wants. This is burning his arse bigly. If nothing else, everyone can certainly agree that this man cares immensely about what people think about him.

He'll be on Twitter crying about it shortly. Guaranteed.

He's destroying his own ability to push his agenda. He simply can't act like an adult. He thinks he is still campaigning

He should totally tweet something derogatory and sophomoric about those who've dropped from the council. We need more wins.
