And now the CEO's of Campbell's Soup Co. and 3M have bailed from the Trumpenfuhrer's panel. MAGA, indeed. Pretty soon, the only people left on the panel will be Nazi armband manufacturers.

I predict brand boycotts if others do not follow suit and the only reason for them to hang around is for the Tax (cut) handouts. Besides DT and IT manufacture their products offshore anyway so where is their credibility to criticize the multi-nationals?

Too late for boycotts. It was just announced that Trump was forced to shut down both his Manufacturing Council and his Strategy & Policy Forum. For whatever reasons, these folks are uncomfortable advising a Nazi-sympathizer. Go figure.

Poor bastard had to shut them down to avoid further embarrassment. What an idiot.

A less biased take.

Members of President Donald Trump's Strategic and Policy Forum have agreed to disband the group, sources told CNBC, as corporate backlash mounts against the president.

The business advisory council made up of top business leaders is separate from Trump's manufacturing council, which several business leaders left this week.

The business backlash to Trump follows his tepid response to violence at a white nationalist rally over the weekend, where one woman died and 19 people were injured after a car rammed into counterprotesters. On Tuesday, Trump appeared to equate torch-bearing white nationalists with the protesters who demonstrated against them.

President Donald Trump has scrapped plans for an infrastructure advisory council after two similar panels dissolved this week amid backlash to Trump from corporate America.

"The President's Advisory Council on Infrastructure, which was still being formed, will not move forward," a White House official told CNBC.

Trump signed an executive order to start setting up the council last month.

It seems nobody wants to be seen with the Nazi Sympathizer-in-Chief

Trump in the process of draining the swamp made it into a toxic cesspool unfit for humans.
