President Trump announced Wednesday he is shutting down two jobs councils, amid a wave of resignations by executives in the wake of the president’s response to the violence in Charlottesville.

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

The statement came amid multiple reports that the Strategic and Policy Forum, a group of top business leaders, had already agreed to disband.

WEAK men succumbing to intimidation by the Deep State and their puppet media.

The Deep State is 'ISIS without the beheadings'. They use INTIMIDATION as a tool to advance their agenda.

yes - very good. I see the same fault-lines. These CEO’s trying to embarrass him are in fact the start of a public separating of the American sheep, from the crony-statist goats.

In fact, Trump can gain many Democrat or Leftist voters if he takes on CRONY businesses that live off government money and regulations. He may do so yet.

Whenever I see the words "CEO" and "jobs" in the same sentence, alarm bells go off in my mind.

"CEOs" + "jobs" = "offshoring" + "outsourcing"

Perhaps a list of these !former! CEOs employers might be necessary. Conservatives across the country would dearly love to know who these might be. 3M is but one...and the others?

This would certainly be of help in the job we’ve before us.

The “Scotch Boutique” will be empty in malls across the country.

What Trump really needs to do is replace with a newly created Jobs Council consisting entirely of accomplished SMALL business people. He would get more REAL solutions out of them and a lot more bang for the buck.

Exactly, especially since small businesses drive the economy, not Merck et al.

YES YES YES. do it loudly and in response to this slap from Merck, Intel, etc... Tell America he is going to respond to the needs of REAL American business - not insiders. Draw the battle lines.

POTUS, Trump, the majority of the American people are with you. You will see that next Tuesday, in Phoenix, Arizona at your massive rally there.

The massive vote difference in Alabama last night, 420,000 votes cast for Republican candidates versus, a weak/paltry, 159,000 votes cast for Democrat candidates speaks volumes as to where the American people stand.

Hang in there, Trumpster...the real truth relative the McAuliffe caper, which will be proven that he with other Democrat Scum, the biased Media & Republican Establishment Vermin put together as a final planned, evil resort to take down our POTUS, Trump will not work.

Folks should take clear notice of the multitudes of Democrats, Republicans, African-Americans, Hispanics that have touched this hate driven campaign of the lunatics of the extreme left and right nutcase. Trump...move forward, unabated...MAGA!!!

The killings will happen at some point if this isn’t stopped. The ultimate goal...kill whitey, erase them off the face of the earth.

Wow you screen name here has come true.
