After Donald Trump initially argued that "many sides" were responsible for this weekend's violence in Charlottesville, Va. -- where neo-Nazis and white nationalists contributed to the deaths of three people -- some CEOs who were part of the president's manufacturing council quit in response. Following a furious reaction to Trump's comments, the president finally condemned racists, while flatly reading off a teleprompter on Monday.
Of course, the megalomaniac in chief couldn't stop there. He not only retweeted an image of a CNN journalist being crushed by a train (days after Charlottesville counterprotester Heather Heyer was run down by a white supremacist), retweeted a story about him considering a pardon of disgraced racist Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio, and then blasted the executives who quit his council.
Trump's latest insult prompted a fifth executive -- following the CEOs of Merck, Intel, Under Armour, and Tesla -- to leave the manufacturing council. Scott Paul, the president of the Alliance for American Manufacturing, had enough.
Many CEOs on the manufacturing council remain, though -- thankfully, Twitter is here to tell us who. Maybe some emails/phone calls are in order?
