Good. We shouldn't have had it in the first place.

Rather than putting pressure on the businesspeople of the Manufacturing Council & Strategy & Policy Forum, I am ending both. Thank you all!

I'm stunned by just how frightened our political and business leaders are.

He fired the ones left.   ^-^

I hope he reconfigures the group and resumes this.  But this is going to be quite a challenge considering the inordinate number of cowards we have in leadership roles.

Trump disbands economic councils as CEOs flee

By Niv Elis - 08/16/17 01:22 PM EDT

President Donald Trump on Wednesday disbanded two of his economic councils after a wave of defections from high-profile CEOs.

"Rather than putting pressure on the businesspeople of the Manufacturing Council & Strategy & Policy Forum, I am ending both. Thank you all!" Trump wrote in a tweet.

The less access those multi-national businesses have to law makers and the white house, the better.

Businesses don't like controversy, especially if it will affect share values.  It was pretty feeble for Trump to say 'well, they make their products overseas, anyway' after a couple resignations.

Smart businesses stay as neutral and non political as possible. They focus on their product or service only.

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Now that these so-called "job creators" have reject President Trump, and by extension the American people, It will make it easier for God-Emperor Trump to federalized those businesses so he can protect those jobs for Americans.  All part of the plan.
