Trump is disbanding his councils of business leaders entirely after flood of resignations

As business leaders flee Donald Trump’s manufacturing advisory council en masse over his weak Charlottesville response, another panel of business advisors has completely imploded. 

The president’s Strategic and Policy Forum, a group that includes leaders of major corporations like Walmart, General Motors, and Pepsi, has agreed to disband in light of the backlash to Trump’s comments, CNBC first reported.  

The president himself confirmed the news shortly afterward, claiming that he would also shut down the manufacturing council to save the remaining members the trouble of resigning.
