It all seems everything is against the U.S. President as all his appointees have suddenly turned their heels. The chief executive of tech giant Intel, Brian Krzanich, who passes as the high-profile figure in the council that advises Trump as quitted following the Monday self-eviction of some council members.
According to him, as reported by Sky News, he was leaving the President’s manufacturing council because he was concerned about the harm “our divided political climate” is causing to issues such as equality.
Brain Krzanich criticised the “many in Washington” who “seem to be more concerned with attacking anyone who disagrees with them”. His resignations followed the resignation of Kenneth Frazier, the black chief executive of pharmaceutical giant Merck, and Kevin Plank, the CEO of Under Armour.
The report disclosed that Mr Frazier said he was quitting in the wake of Mr Trump’s initial failure to condemn the far-right for violence in Charlottesville.
According to Mr Krzanich, as published on the Intel website, where he expressed his thoughts. Politics eating up the country’s manufacturing sector.
“Politics and political agendas have sidelined the important mission of rebuilding America’s manufacturing base.
“I have already made clear my abhorrence at the recent hate-spawned violence in Charlottesville, and earlier today I called on all leaders to condemn the white supremacists and their ilk who marched and committed violence.
“I resigned because I want to make progress, while many in Washington seem more concerned with attacking anyone who disagrees with them.
“We should honour – not attack – those who have stood up for equality and other cherished American values. I hope this will change, and I remain willing to serve when it does.
“My request – my plea – to everyone involved in our political system is this: set scoring political points aside and focus on what is best for the nation as a whole.
“The current environment must change, or else our nation will become a shadow of what it once was and what it still can and should be.”
