President Donald Trump’s response to the weekend violence in Charlottesville, Va., has sparked a new round of soul-searching in U.S. corporate boardrooms over whether they should keep working closely with the White House.
On Tuesday, the number of members who have withdrawn from a White House advisory council grew to five, and executives including Wal-Mart Stores

I’ll never darken the door of a Wal-Mart ever again.
Wal Mart. Isn’t that one of the places where Hitlery started making her big wealthy fortune way back in the Arkancide days?
Amen.
The boards of these comapnies need to kick these gutless CEOS in the arse—right out the door.
These CEOs basically accused the President of being a racist AFTER he condemned the racist activities in C-Ville over the weekend.
And they deliberately politicized the Advisory Council, pissing off half their customer base.
Kick them out and they can virtue-signal to their heart’s content on their on time and their own dime.
I heard that the CEO of UnderArmour claimed that he withdrew because he didn’t want to be involved in politics.
I’m thinking of how to phrase a letter to inform him that I will no longer purchase UnderArmour products. Trump was elected by voters who are sick and tired of politics overshadowing everything. Trump is still predominately apolitical. The media histrionics are mostly fueled by their desire to put a leftist political spin on everything. The CEOs’ withdrawal from the business advisory council is a highly political move that shows they are more concerned with advancing socialism than about doing what is best for the country.
Correctomundo. Also add to hat the Tysons chicken guys as well. They crafted their pay-to-play cronyism there.
Walmart has reconsidered, as of this am the Walmart CEO is back on the council.
Gotta’ figure these guys would be happy with a one world currency anyway. They could care less where there money comes from and obviously have no love for our republic.
The Wal-Mart CEO must be fired before I reconsider.
There’s more to this story than what these CEOs are saying, and President Trump hinted at it during his legendary press conference yesterday. He gave the impression that he had some heated conversations with these CEOs in recent months, in which he had to explain to them that the whole purpose of the council was to work with them to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. and employ more Americans.
I’m boycotting Under Armor, and not Walmart.
Yes, I caught that-especially in reference to Merck and their overseas drug production in Ireland,etc.
Thank God for Trump fighting for America, and exposing the DC crowd which has been selling us out and lying to our faces for the last 30 years.
UAs stuff will be going to the Goodwill in 30 days if he sticks to that gutless act of his.
And this is from a Michigander....with cold weather season coming.
My Under Armor stock is going bye bye this morning.
Walmart has reconsidered, as of this am the Walmart CEO is back on the council.
The Walmart coward never quit the council. He just sent a virtue signalling email.

I’ve no doubt the kenyan has ValJar stirring the pot for him and calling these CEOs. These “boycotts” are way too organized to be coincidental.
And companies will continue to make whites look like uninformed losers on commercials and the blacks will continue to always make the right decisions and have the positions of power. And it’s always a black family with the fathe present and two kids. It’s especially blatant on insurance commercials. Because to ever one time reverse it, would be racist and there would be an uproar. Oh and on the drug commercials, the doctor is usually black, and the patient is white and looking so grateful that the doctor made their life so much better. Social engineering of commercials. Ok, I’m done.
Snowflakes all!
It is pretty sad when executives ignore funded violence against bad people, and look with tunnel vision.
Not only that, but they are acting without waiting for an investigation on what went down, and who funded it.
These are probably the same people who favor same sex marriage, government funded abortion, and ignore the real science in connection with climate change.
