Intel CEO quits over dysTrumpia

Post by _moksha »

Intel CEO Brian Krzanich quits Trump's manufacturing council after Under Armour (UAA) CEO Kevin Plank resigned in protest of Trump.

President Trump then tweeted, "Who needs intel? Highly overrated".

He later added to his tweets when he found they manufactured computer chips, adding, "Bad PCs. Glad I am not PC."

Walmart CEO Doug McMillon also joined the criticism of Trump.

Trump responded in a tweet. "Figures about Walmart. They are known to work with Jina. They have their fingers in many huge Jina businesses."

If WalMart really feels that strongly then they should remove all Trump products from its offerings:

LOL @ Trump fragrances. It reminds me of one of Seth MacFarlane's jokes at the Comedy Central Roast of Trump way back in 2011.

"He also sells Trump cologne, and fellas, that stuff can really get you laid. Basically you just pour it onto a cloth and put it over a woman’s face until she stops struggling."
"We have taken up arms in defense of our liberty, our property, our wives, and our children; we are determined to preserve them, or die."

“For every CEO that drops out of the Manufacturing Council, I have many to take their place,” the President wrote on Twitter. “Grandstanders should not have gone on. JOBS!”

Spokesperson Sarah Huckabee afterward filled in the details for some possible replacements, "We are considering Deseret Property Management, Noriega Pharmaceuticals, and Fox-Zyklon B, Inc."

Well that lasted long.
SEE Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

Rather than putting pressure on the businesspeople of the Manufacturing Council & Strategy & Policy Forum, I am ending both. Thank you all!

Holy cow:

'Firestorm' over Trump's latest tirade prompted top CEOs to disband advisory council

- President Trump's latest tirade left a White House panel of business leaders little choice but to disband, one member tells CNBC.

- "There was such a firestorm," the member said.

- In the face of corporate defections, Trump announced plans Wednesday to dissolve the group and the Manufacturing Jobs Initiative council.


This is hands down the most isolated President I've observed in my life. He's a lame duck 7 months into his tenure.

The entire President's Committee on Arts and the Humanities resigned en masse.

Tweeted Trump, "We don't need no stinking arts and we certainly don't need no humans."
