President Donald Trump lashed out Tuesday morning in a tweet against three CEOS who left his manufacturing council over his initial failure to condemn white supremacists in the wake of this weekend’s deadly attack in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Trump boasted that those who leave the White House council would be easily replaced, and suggested that the CEOs who quit in protest of his attempt to avoid condemning white supremacists and neo-Nazis were simply grandstanding.

Three CEOs had announced they would leave the council by the time Trump published his tweet. About 15 minutes afterward, a fourth CEO, Scott Paul of the Alliance for American Manufacturing, announced he would leave the council, too.

1. Helping Trump Is Treason

His agenda is to give billionaires more power, period.

Resist or die.

[Democrats_win]

2. Also, Trump's MFG council is manure.

Trump ran a business of just a hand full of people and he didn't pay his bills. He doesn't know manure about business or government.

3. THIS

The ones who have since said they plan to remain claim they still want to contribute to the discussion. That whole "Council" is complete bullshit because Drumpf doesn't give a damn about anyone or anything else but himself and his smoke and mirrors companies.

[not fooled]

7. And the koch brothers

are running the government anyway, or as much as they can get away with.

Any CEO who isn't already on board with their agenda and who voices an opposing viewpoint will be ignored.

9. Ironically, neither of them are on this Council

despite them owning Georgia-Pacific, which is a huge manufacturing company.

[not fooled]

15. Yes. They prefer to operate

in the shadows, like the anti-American bottom dweller scum they are.

4. This is the guy who waves his signed executive orders in everyone's face, yet everybody....

....that disagrees with him are "grandstanders"!

[NewJeffCT]

17. His definition of a "grandstander"

is anybody that takes away 1 second of positive attention from Trump, or causes 1 second of negative attention for Trump

[Solly Mack]

5. lol He called Comey a grandstander too.

If you disapprove of Trump and act accordingly, you're a grandstander - says the actual grandstander.

[Hekate]

6. Poor widdle orange snowflake

[DinahMoeHum]

8. Fuck that goddamn whiny baby.

[6000eliot]

10. How rich that the moron who has to hold campaign rallies even after being elected

is accusing others of "grandstanding."

[NCjack]

11. Trump needs to get loyalty oaths to stop many of

the rest from leaving.

[Gothmog]

12. Trump's feelings were hurt

[William Seger]

13. "They should have told me they didn't support the KKK and Nazis"

"... and I would have appointed someone else! Unfair!"

[rickford66]

14. Grandstanding - more Trump projection

Dramatic or showy behavior intended to impress an audience or observers.
