Quite telling that Trump can call out Kenneth Frazier by name for leaving the bullshit panel for very good reasons, but he won’t call out by name the white supremacist neo-Nazi KKK racist bigots for engaging in domestic terrorism.

It would be very fitting if the white supremacists are what take this Presidency down.

If Trump is THAT pissed off, it must mean that Merck makes both Finasteride AND his boner pills. It adds up.

He’s a black man who had the nerve to be a CEO/politician, AKA Obamaitis.

But so typical for Donnie Two Scoops, since interconnectedness and complexity lies beyond his feeble 2-yr-old’s capacity to comprehend.

It’s so much easier to point fingers.

Any bets on what he would have said if a WHITE CEO had done this?

(Nope. Too Easy.)

I’m guessing the pretty much the same unless the CEO was Putin or a white supremacist.

Saying they will “let you” assault them because you’re rich doesn’t preclude being elected President. Go Figure.

Trump: "Now that Ken Frazier of Merck Pharma has resigned from President's Manufacturing Council,he will have more time to LOWER RIPOFF DRUG PRICES!"

In other words: “I did Nazi that coming. Sad!”

Whatever role foreign influence may have played and may still be playing, however, we don’t need to wonder whether an anti-American cabal, hostile to everything we stand for, determined to undermine everything that truly makes this country great, has seized power in Washington. It has: it’s called the Trump administration.

“As President and Commander-In-Chief of our great nation, I will never allow Dr. Hannibal Lecter to serve newborn babies as appetizers at his next exclusive Southampton dinner party.”
I don’t think Donald could even bring himself to make a statement like that. After all, it might offend the rich, white, upper class exclusive Southampton dinner party attendees who voted for him in 2016.

I certainly don’t remember a rant from Donnie when Bob Iger left the panel.
