The three CEO's...

Kevin Plank CEO of Under Armour, Brian Krzanich CEO of Intel, and Kenneth Frazier CEO of Merck, walked away from Trump's White House Manufacturing Council on Monday.

So which of the three was personally attacked by the Dickweed In Chief on Twitter? Kenneth Frazier.

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

Why Frazier and not the other two CEO's? The other two are white CEO's. And on top of this, Trump decided to rip Frazier over drug pricing. Which Trump has obviously not seen as a problem in any of his pronouncements on the need to repeal and replace the ACA.

Every week we're advised that Trump had his worst week yet. When will it be a bad enough week to do something about it? Ask Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan.

Their calculation remains purely political and devoid of higher principle. As long as they think they'll lose more votes from Trump's base than they would gain from those who disapprove of Trump (or as long as they believe they can still get tax cuts for the rich with his assistance), they'll defend their Trumpenfuhrer.

Agreed. But when do they look at Trump's own losses from his base. If one can believe David Duke's ripping into Trump yesterday...the white supremacist and white nationalist cretins are already gone.

I'm not so sure. They've been given a seat at the table by Trump and have nowhere else to go in the search for acceptance/relevance. If he fires Bannon, Miller and Gorka, however, all bets are off.

The CEO of the Alliance of American Manufacturers just bailed from Trump's manufacturing council. That's now four CEO's to bail on der Trumpenfuhrer.

Predictably, the grandstander-in-chief calls them grandstanders.

He's beyond reprehensible.

There again, from a practical standpoint how does that help anybody.

Themselves in the group they hang with maybe.

But, certainly none of the issues they were needing to deal with which is basically jobs in distressed areas.

Like they were going to build a plant in Detroit or something anyway.

It's proof positive that Trump's acquiescence to neo-Nazis in his base and on his White House staff isn't helpful in enacting his agenda. There was a time not a few months ago that American business feared a negative tweet from Trump. Now they're telling him to fuck off.

I suspect it is more that they fear the left wing media and the left wing socialites they like to hang with.

Meanwhile those in need are getting screwed again by this side show the same way the Democrats have screwed them for the past 50 years.

Proof is in the pudding and the Democratic control of the collapsed cities should be evidence to anybody who is not so indoctrinated that they will not see.

How many more generations are you going to go with this racism thing before you realize it is not the problem and hasn't been for a couple of generations anyway.
