The Exodus has begun.. CEO's vs Trump

[Burpo]

Seems many have had enough.. 2 more CEO's quit Trumps manufacturing council, including Intel's CEO..

https://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/14/intel-ceo-quit-trumps-manufacturing-council.html

in Monday's post, Krzanich said his decision was based on the worrying direction of U.S. politics.

"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," he explained.
Politics and political agendas have sidelined the important mission of rebuilding America's manufacturing base...I resigned because I want to make progress, while many in Washington seem more concerned with attacking anyone who disagrees with them."

"Nearly every issue is now politicized to the point where significant progress is impossible," he added.

Krzanich also said he called on leaders to condemn the white supremacists who participated in the Virginia rally.

But Trump is the best businessman ever!

 

[Yakk]

Can only imagine all those CEOs must be like having a room full of Roosters and no hens to show off to.

Doesn't work very well...

 

[dainthomas]

So much winning. Trump's going to run out of things to win at before too long.

"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,"

Translation: "Libtards won't STFU about muh Trump's america and made me quit"

 

[hal2kilo]

Too bad he fired the Merk CEO, now he won't have a black man sit next to him when he convenes the council again. Not done for photo op, Not done for photo op.

So much winning. Trump's going to run out of things to win at before too long.

LOL, never! His wins are only limited to the extent of his imagination and that of his Trump-is-Great twice-a-day folder builders. His definition of a win is so far removed from reality that he boasts like a proud rooster (cock-of-the-walk style) about his overwhelming win over his gold-plated toilet after he achieves his morning deuce.

 

[BonzaiDuck]

Didn't I assist in exploring and dismissing the "Bidniss-man" Myth in an older thread? Like many things that are otherwise simple to sort out, that may never reach closure. But I feel profoundly authoritative. . . .

Scott Paul, the president of the Alliance for American Manufacturing is also out...

Trump calls these guys grandstanders. President Irony derps on.

 

[Thump553]

That's pretty brave of them, as Trump can do a whole lot to ruin their companies brands with his bully pulpit. The CEO of United Technologies gave an interview where he said that was the major reason he went along with Trump's phony bailout of the elevator company-he was gravely concerned Trump would destroy the company if Trump didn't get the favorable publicity stunt he wanted.

 

[Yakk]

That only works until staying with Trump is worst or 2 evils . CEOs also have to answer their shareholders and bad publicity of having their name associated with the president of the United States.

But I feel profoundly authoritative. . . .

I'm inexplicitly aroused!

Wondering how many Trump supporters will be throwing out their computers with Intel inside?

 

[J.Wilkins]

Wondering how many Trump supporters will be throwing out their computers with Intel inside?

I don't think most of them understand the concept of a CPU.

 

[outriding]

I don't think most of them understand the concept of a CPU.

they will probably throw their monitors out...

 

[senseamp]

I always wondered why Krzanich signed up for this crap. I thought maybe he hoped Trump would let him get away with some anti-competitive sh!t against AMD. Well now he's on Trump's shit list.

 

[J.Wilkins]

they will probably throw their monitors out...

That's GOLD, Jerry!

AFL-CIO leader resigns from Trump's council, says president 'tolerates bigotry'

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka and Deputy Chief of Staff Thea Lee resigned on Tuesday from President Donald Trump's manufacturing council, slamming his remarks about protests in Virginia and saying he "tolerates bigotry and domestic terrorism."

[MomentsofSanity]

After today there will be no council. No business leader will want to be anywhere near this mess he just created.

I always wondered why Krzanich signed up for this crap. I thought maybe he hoped Trump would let him get away with some anti-competitive sh!t against AMD. Well now he's on Trump's shit list.

Lisa Sue should give Trump a call and talk to him about the "Meet Comp" program intel claims it doesn't run anymore and the excess PC shipping channel volume they reported on their last earnings report.


They were down 1% today while the market was flat. I already own puts, but would like to buy more... so hopefully share price doesn't really start to tank until fall.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

I predict the future business council will be Ivanka, Jared, the Trump Sons, Amarorsa (spelling?) and Ted Nugent.
Plus a black guy, maybe Don King

 

[cytg111]

Anyone ever played Saints Row IV the computer game?

After today there will be no council. No business leader will want to be anywhere near this mess he just created.

Dow will continue to work to strengthen the social and economic fabric of the communities where it operates — including supporting policies that help create employment opportunities in manufacturing and rebuild the American workforce."
• Bill Brown, Harris Corporation, did not respond to a request for comment.
• Michael Dell, Dell Technologies, will remain on the council. "While we wouldn't comment on any member's personal decision, there's no change in Dell engaging with the Trump administration and governments around the world to share our perspective on policy issues that affect our company, customers, and employees," a spokeswoman said.
• John Ferriola, Nucor Corporation, did not respond to a request for comment.
• Jeff Fettig, Whirlpool Corporation, will remain on the council.

• Alex Gorsky, Johnson & Johnson, will remain on the council. "At Johnson & Johnson we are deeply saddened by the horrific events that occurred in Charlottesville this past weekend. Intolerance, racism, and violence have no place in our society," Gorsky said in an emailed statement. "Several members have made the decision to leave President Trump’s White House Manufacturing Advisory Council, and I respect their decision as a matter of personal conscience. Given the events of the past few days, I can understand the concerns—even the fear—that some people have expressed. These are difficult days for everyone. In the end, I have concluded that Johnson & Johnson has a responsibility to remain engaged, not as a way to support any specific political agenda, but as a way to represent the values of Our Credo as crucial public policy is discussed and developed."

• Marillyn Hewson, Lockheed Martin, declined to comment.

• Denise Morrison, Campbell Soup Company, will remain on the council.

Campbell has long held the belief that diversity and inclusion are critical to the success of our business and our culture. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is unwavering, and we will remain active champions for these efforts. We believe it continues to be important for Campbell to have a voice and provide input on matters that will affect our industry, our company and our employees in support of growth. Therefore, Ms. Morrison will remain on the President's Manufacturing Jobs Initiative."

"I plan to continue to collaborate with other leaders from diverse industries, who represent a variety of perspectives and beliefs, to help shape strategies and develop policies that foster a more vibrant economy and more jobs in the US."
  
  Polk also provided Business Insider with a statement regarding Charlottesville: "We find the events of this past weekend in Charlottesville to be incredibly troubling. There is simply no place in our society for racism of any kind, white supremacy, or Neo-Nazism. The values that form these views are intolerable and completely contrary to everything we hold true as proud Americans. We reject and condemn all that hate stands for and hope that as a society, we can come together as one in this view. For its part, Newell Brands has always been and will always be committed to diversity and inclusion in every aspect of our business."
