President Donald Trump issued a sharp warning Tuesday to American CEOs who sit on his manufacturing council: You’re not irreplaceable.
“For every CEO that drops out of the Manufacturing Council, I have many to take their place,” Trump boasted in a tweet Tuesday morning. “Grandstanders should not have gone on. JOBS!”
But just minutes after Trump fired off the tweet, another executive joined the ranks of the three CEOs who withdrew from the president’s manufacturing council on Monday in the wake of Trump's response to racial violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, over the weekend.
“I’m resigning from the Manufacturing Jobs Initiative because it’s the right thing for me to do,” Scott Paul, president of the Alliance for American Manufacturing, tweeted Tuesday morning. Paul represents the steel industry, which has been a major supporter of Trump.
