Good! Trump will create huge numbers of jobs if he breaks up every government subsidized fascist company in America. Start with Amazon, Google, and Microsoft!

Trump needs to stop playing nice with idiots, and do what we elected him to do. Drain the swamp. Unleash capitalism. Make America great again.

Jobs and prosperity will silence the Left.

The corporate scumbags are more interested in customer politics than they are about this country. Screw them.

Why are they quitting in the first place? It makes no sense.

Both of these stupid councils had zero credibility when a charlatan like Elon Musk — whose entire business model is built on taxpayer subsidies — was named to both of them.

Did they thank you for the stock prices on their way out, Mr President?

And so it goes. Sadly it’s beginning to appear that the obstruction of the Trump presidency is gaining momentum. Three and a half more years of gopE obstruction, msm lies, dementocrat bs. Prayers up.

All those execs thought the “business council” was a place at the government money trough. I doubt they did any actual good.

Yep. Middle class tax cuts. Small business stimulus. The corportists can fend for themselves.

President Trump has to deal with so much. It’s sickening to see how liberals and virtue signallers act.

Since the group had leaders from companies profiting from cheap foreign labor and offshoring, yes, good to drop it all. Two can play, goot that Trump made this move. Now, lets look at those companies, Microsoft, Google, ADP, Disney, etc., and ask they why they are or have replaced American works and what they are going to do to reverse those trends and actions.

We didn’t need this council in the first place.

Business and Government should be separate.

‘Here’s your hats, what’s your hurry?’

When did we become a nation of drama queens?
I’m almost enjoying my anger recently at s***birds like these.

@realDonaldTrump

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

Not necessarily.

Now they won’t have a seat at the table or any input at all, ergo they do not get to share in any of the benefits of Trump’s economic plans...................
