Intel said Monday that CEO Brian Krzanich was leaving President Trump's American Manufacturing Council, the latest executive to distance himself from the president following the weekend's events in Virginia.

In a blog post, Krzanich said that the decline in American manufacturing remains a serious issue, but said that "politics and political agendas have sidelined the important mission of rebuilding America's manufacturing base."

"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," Krzanich said in a blog post. "Politics and political agendas have sidelined the important mission of rebuilding America's manufacturing base."

8. This is a bold move by these CEOs. They know they may incur the wrath of a petty, vindictive man...

who has the power to harm their companies. But staying is worse than leaving, they've determined.

9. Joining Merk, Tesla, Under Armor - I would like to think that all of them were looking for an excuse

to distance themselves from this maniac.
