Those who are withdrawing are extremely stupid, because the point is not whether they like Trump or not, but being in the Council gives them an opportunity to influence policy.
Why do we need a Manufacturing Jobs Council in the first place?
It would have been nice if you could have used your 100 or so words to list the companies. That way we wouldn’t have to give a click to the leftist a$$holes times.
When a government controls all the rules, has regulations for everything, and in particular mandates funding or purchasing of particular products, then every activity becomes political and every large business becomes a crony or it loses the game.
Why are we surprised then to find crony-capitalist companies deeply involved in politics and lining-up for, or against, Trump?
The 21st. Century CEO is a spineless, gutless weasel.
It’s why American business is in the current state its in.
Political posturing outweighs everything these days including what’s best for the American people. Like jobs.
Michael Hiltzik - Contact Reporter - are you a NEWS reporter, an ANTI-TRUMP advocate, or just a simple a$$hole? Since your diatribe appeared in the LA Times I suspect the last two in equal proportions.
LA SLIMES engages in hate speech.
Do these PC CEOs really think the Antifa and BLM crowd will buy their products to off set the losses from Trump supporters? We’ve bought our last UnderArmor gifts for our grandsons. We’ll shop for another brand of sportswear this Christmas.

Union reps are not on the Council. Too bad!

Ah, piling on. Well, we’ve seen it on FR, too, I’m sorry to say.
President Trump has NOT even come CLOSE to the racist trash of that scumbag and his hijinks, double-speak and enabling in the previous 8 years. Not by 100 miles.

“Under Armour’s Kevin Plank”
Under Armour sells mostly clothing for sportsmen and would be prime for a boycott by Trump supporters.
Wow.
When the headline itself shows open hostility, you know it’s only going downhill from there.
I contacted Under Armour and told them I would never buy their products again.
Their comment was that they reject racism or some such crap!
They are acting like they think Trump is a racist.
