Well, on the bright side, it took him around 12 hours to respond to last night’s resignations…

The remaining CEOs on Trump’s council had the following to say (via Business Insider)

• Andrew Liveris, Dow Chemical Company, will remain on the council. “I condemn the violence this weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia, and my thoughts and prayers are with those who lost loved ones and with the people of Virginia,” Liveris said in an emailed statement. “In Dow, there is no room for hatred, racism, or bigotry. 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.
