Business leaders today disbanded two CEO councils created by the White House, a move the CEOs said was "protesting Donald Trump’s failure to sufficiently condemn racism".

This marks a dramatic break between the business-community and Donald Trump.

Trump's close associate Steve Schwartzman, CEO of the hedge-fund BlackRock Capital, broke the news to Trump today in a telephone call.

After receiving the phone call, Trump in a fit of anger Tweeted he was terminating the Business Councils. Yesterday Donald Trump Tweeted threats against the businesses of some of the ten CEOs who had already quit the Business Councils including Merck.

We've run out of other people's Social Security taxes needed to subsidize our low income tax rates.
