Trump's American Manufacturing Council just lost another member. I think the count is now 3 post-Charlottesville
On Sunday, Merck CEO Kenneth Frazer resigned from Trump's American Manufacturing Council. Frazer, an African American, felt he needed to take a stand againt Trump's delayed response to the events in Charlottesville. Trump later got even with a slick retaliation tweet burn. Then, following in Frazer's footsteps, the Under Armor CEO called it quits, too.

Now the CEO of Intel says Trump's Council has become all about politics and little else. He has resigned his position as well, and does reference the events of Charlottesville in his statement.

Earlier today, I tendered my resignation from the American Manufacturing Council. I resigned to call attention to the serious harm our divided political climate is causing to critical issues, including the serious need to address the decline of American manufacturing. Politics and political agendas have sidelined the important mission of rebuilding America’s manufacturing base.

"Go back to Intel and keep charging bigger and bigger amounts of money for increasingly smaller computer microchips. Biggest ripoff of American's hard-earned money from a company not named Merck."

Trump's tweet attacking the media as "Fake News" hours after his appearance where he finally called out white supremacists and neo nazi's showed he's still pandering to his base.

Alliance for American Manufacturing makes it #4 who have left the council.
GE, Campbell Soup, Johnson & Johnson and the AFL-CIO are still there but it looks like the clock is ticking for another shoe to drop.
His 2nd statement was read off a teleprompter to deter ad libs and Trump seems shocked business people are walking.

Probably just a coincidence that Trump has only singled out the black guy by name...

I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want to be associated with a racist, bigoted sexual predator.

I cannot sit on a council for a President that tolerates bigotry and domestic terrorism; I resign, effective immediately.

It's a Soup Company. It's run by a girl.

Girls can't be CEOs, Nigel. Everybody knows this. Stop pushing your liberal values on the rest of us.

The old "you are breaking up with me, well I'm breaking up with you" move.

Somebody just pointed this out. I am not sure if it is intentional or not. Look at the first letter of each paragraph plus the closing.

No coincedence.
Only member who didn't resign with the rest was George C. Wolfe
