• Trump abruptly ends manufacturing council after CEOs disband strategy and policy forum
    25 replies, posted
[quote]After a wave of CEOs resigned from President Donald Trump's advisory councils this week, Trump abruptly dissolved the councils on Wednesday following his confrontational response to a violent white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Trump made his comments after a member of the Strategic and Policy Forum told CNBC the group had decided to disband. In a tweet, the president said he decided to dissolve the groups "rather than putting pressure on the businesspeople."

Still waiting for a strong republican response to come out and unilaterally denounce the president.
YOU CAN'T FIRE ME, I'LL QUIT!
[media]https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/897869174323728385[/media] probably the most pathetic excuse he could've come up with.
"They can't leave if [B]I[/B] end it" seems to be his train of though regarding the manufacturing council in this farce of a horrible attempt at damage control because he's incapable of denouncing his fully devoted voterbase.
It was over once they started dropping like flies in defiance of Trump. Didn't expect the guy to pull the trigger on it himself, though.
[quote]probably the most pathetic excuse he could've come up with.[/quote] It's even more pathetic because the council [I]had agreed to disband itself internally[/I] well before he tweeted that. He's trying to take credit for their idea to disband their own council that they decided to do on their own, entirely independent from him. Because, you know, only Trump can 'walk away from the negotiating table' because he's the dealmaker and so on. [url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/16/business/trumps-council-ceos.html]Source[/url]
Holy shit he Tweeted this yesterday [media]https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/897478270442143744[/media] Is this the leadership that Americans voted for?

Trump is such a mess, it's hard not to think he has some kind of mental deficiency.
Most pathetic cunt to ever hold an elected office.

This was just a few hours ago, and it already has 100,000 likes - that's just of the people who love it. How many millions or hundreds of millions of people will see this? Does [I]he[/I] even realize that?
[QUOTE=BlindSniper17;52580224]Did he seriously end an actual tweet of his with "JOBS!"[/QUOTE] Um you cant just expect people to come applying if you don't shout JOBS! first.

[QUOTE=BlindSniper17;52580224]Did he seriously end an actual tweet of his with "JOBS!"[/QUOTE] Maybe he was suddenly reminded of the Ashton Kutcher film somehow?

Businesses hate to make political decisions not tied to their immediate interests.
Dude's even alienating big business. What does that leave him with? What still falls firmly on his side?

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;52580347]Dude's even alienating big business. What does that leave him with? What still falls firmly on his side?[/QUOTE] I used to find the idea of large scale civil unrest within the USA within this presidental term quite unlikely at first but it's slowly starting to get more and more believable with every passing day.
Look ma, no jobs.
