As my mother used to say ā€œThat man has no shame!ā€

Another one just bailedā€¦ American Manufacturing Council? Thatā€™s gonna leave a markā€¦

Trumpā€™s missive came shortly before another member of the council, Scott Paul, president of the Alliance for American Manufacturing trade group, announced that he was stepping down as well.

Exactly. These guys do more business in a month than Trump has in his entire life. They run huge complex organizations rather than hoarding family assets and are actually accountable to Boards and shareholdersā€“two things Trump never has been. Oh yeah, they actually make stuff they then successfully sell to consumers, more things Trump has never done.

When is Putin finally bailing on Trump?

And then there were four:
fourth business leader resigned Tuesday from President Donald Trumpā€™s White House jobs council in the latest sign that corporate Americaā€™s romance with Trump is faltering following his equivocal original response to violence by white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The parade of departing leaders now includes the chief executives for Merck, Under Armour and Intel and now the president of the Alliance for American Manufacturing.

Exactly. Corporate America is allergic to controversy. The more customers, clients and investors they potentially offend and alienate by being put on the hot spot by Trump the more theyā€™ll distance themselves from him. What they really hate and fear is unpredictability which makes a mercurial showboat like Trump their worst nightmare.

Hereā€™s what I see. Persons A of some principles standing up for those principles and knowing when to take a stand against what is wrong. Another person X of no principles not having the remotest of ideas that there are principles, let alone something to stand up for.

Keep an eye open for who remains and who might join. They would share the lack of principles or person X.

Kaitlin, please have one or two people proofread your articles before posting.

But if they lose the Nazis they canā€™t win either.
And they are all well aware of that fact.

A real quandary. Couldnā€™t happen to a ā€˜betterā€™ group of people.
