Kenneth Frazier is the CEO of ‘Merck.’ Yesterday he resigned from Trump’s American Manufacturing Council.

“I am resigning from the President’s American Manufacturing Council.

Our country’s strengths stems from its diversity and the contributions made by men and women of different faiths, races, sexual orientations and political beliefs.

America’s leaders must honor our fundamental values by clearly rejecting expressions of hatred, bigotry and group supremacy, which run counter to the American ideal that all people are created equal.

As CEO of Merck and as a matter of personal conscience, I feel responsibility to take a stand against intolerance and extremism.”

This is one of many criticisms directed at Trump’s choice to ignore that fact that domestic terrorism is alive and well in America, and they call themselves ‘white nationalists.’

Naturally Trump could not accept honest criticism. He attacked Mr. Frazier for his comments in another idiotic tweet.

“Now that Ken Frazier of Merck Pharma has resigned from President’s Manufacturing Council,he will have more time to LOWER RIPOFF DRUG PRICES!”

Since June of 2015 Trump has proven himself to be the leader of the white nationalist movement. He will never denounce his most avid supporters.

I’m sure that Trump is happy that Mr. Frazier resigned; he is an African American.

Please re-post; thank you.
