President’s American Manufacturing Council Down To CEO Of Shoe CarnivalWASHINGTON—Following a series of resignations from prominent CEOs amid the fallout from President Trump’s handling of white-nationalist violence in Charlottesville, VA, White House sources confirmed Tuesday that Trump’s American Manufacturing Council is now down to a single member, Clifton Sifford, CEO and president of Shoe Carnival. “Despite recent changes to the council, Shoe Carnival remains firmly committed to advising the president on manufacturing policy,” said Sifford, whose company operates 555 family footwear stores across the Midwest, South, and Southeast and was named 2001 Chain Retailer of the Year by Footwear News. “I have assured President Trump that Shoe Carnival’s 40 years of experience in the industry will remain a valuable resource for the administration and that we will continue working with him on getting American manufacturing back on track and creating jobs.” At press time, Sifford was sitting down with the president to discuss Shoe Carnival’s strategy for addressing the country’s $60 billion trade deficit with Mexico.

Love the Onion.
As I just posted on a different thread, used to be, if Trump talked bad about you on Twitter, your stock tanked. When the Merck CEO left this week, Merck stock actually went UP slightly.
Business no longer fears Trump. He can't bully them.

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! 1:14pm · 16 Aug 2017 · Twitter for iPhone

I find it to be a great news because this basically exposes what a jerk we have in that seat.
All the cries of MAGA, all the slogans of draining the swamp, all the drama about this White House being the most business friendly. How business friendly can you be be if the said "businesses" don't want to be associated with you?
I am elated. Decency is still alive and well outside of the White House.

The continuous use of the term "draining the swamp" is making my very uncomfortable.

I think a council to advise on policies that would stimulate manufacturing in teh US is a good idea. But i see why they quit. I agree, in principle. However, Trump can't be advised, unfortunately. He turns a deaf ear to anything he doesn't want to hear. I don't blame them for walking out, either. I'd have done the same. There's no value to beating one's head against the proverbial brick wall.

I think a council to advise on policies that would stimulate manufacturing in teh US is a good idea. I agree. I don't like how WI is encouraging manufacturing... It looks like the FoxConn deal will likely go through. IF they actually hire 13000 folks, and all of them are from WI, WI won't break even until 2043. That's the best case. If 10% of the 13000 workforce comes from IL, then WI won't break even until 2045. Less jobs created or more folks from IL work for Foxconn, that number keeps getting pushed back. I'm actually pretty concerned about the location. Sure the jobs pay well enough...but one of the school districts is pretty bad. Families may not be drawn to the location.
