Disney CEO Bob Iger, one of the few entertainment industry executives asked to attend President Donald Trump’s policy forum at the White House this week, has refused the invitation.
In December, President Trump described the policy forum being held at the White House as a meeting of “CEOs and business leaders who know what it takes to create jobs and drive economic growth.” The event was organised by Blackstone chairman Stephen A. Schwarzman and Bob Iger was considered one of the more high profile attendees but a source has told The Hollywood Reporter that Iger will not be there.
Many executives from large companies are still scheduled to attend such as SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon and General Motors CEO Mary Barra. Travis Kalanick of Uber has been attempting to calm recent anger from Uber users over what was perceived as the company’s refusal to participate in an hour long strike organised by New York taxi drivers to protest President Trump’s temporary travel halt.

Good riddance to Iger. Don’t care what he has to say anyway. Worthless contribution to the discussion.
Disney can suck it. The very last thing I’d do for my grand daughters is spend money on some Disney crap for them. I quit doing this when they started having Gay Days at Disney World.
Say, wasn’t Disney one of those firing citizens after they trained foreign replacement workers?
My kids are grown, and we no longer watch ESPN, so that limits the opportunity to boycott Disney.
Gay Days lol!
DJT should simple respond:
“Meh...who cares”. and leave it there.
Disney is 100% invested in churning out molested teen tarts. It’s all they do.
Uber boss has refused, too. These corporate thugs should pay a price.
He knows that DISNEY is one of the BIGGEST OFFENDERS IN THE “FIRE AMERICANS AND REPLACE WITH FOREIGNERS” AND WOULD PROBABLY GET SINGLED OUT........................
YEP! AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO GET SINGLED OUT BIGLY BY TRUMP!.................COWARDS!!!!! TRAITORS!!!!!!..................
Probably afraid he’d take some Trump zingers about his employees training their H1B replacements.
In fact, all Disney stockholders should be upset by this - it hurts the company.

So, we’re about to cut corporate tax rates. Do we have to do that across the board or can we exempt the entertainment industry and certain other industries that don’t don’t regard Donald Trump as their president? Just leave them on the current 39.1% rate and eliminate their deductions.
Good, boycott Disney, they hate American workers.
What. He didn’t even send someone from India to represent him?
need to raise tax on movie, sports, and amusement park tickets. These are voluntary activities and not essential. These taxes would;d not be considered confiscatory like the income tax.
Freepers and Americans need to realize that the Democrat Party is run by New York and California. They have a couple of other states like Nevada and Illinois. THEIR PURPOSE is to make Republicans fail so they can get control of America again.
We must not succumb to these Evil folks. They drain America’s life blood so they can control. Please America wake up and look at where all the trouble comes from.
Pelosi and Schumer control the lackies in the Democrat Party and their destination is our destruction. You never have seen Republicans act this violent and destructive. The New England States are where they congregate and live their lavish lives.
