They were all jumping ship, so Trump closed shop to avoid more embarrassment.

Trump dissolves business councils as CEOs quit in wake of his Charlottesville remarks
President Donald Trump dissolved two of his economic advisory councils Wednesday after a rash of CEOs resigned in the wake of his response to a white nationalist attack in Charlottesville, Virginia, that occurred Saturday.

"Rather than putting pressure on the businesspeople of the Manufacturing Council & Strategy & Policy Forum, I am ending both," Trump tweeted. "Thank you all!

Trump's tweet came just moments after two more executives announced their resignations from his Manufacturing Council Wednesday. Leaders of another council said they were disbanding the forum because the Charlottesville debate had become "a distraction" to their purpose.

Trump’s decision came a day after he tweeted that the CEOs leaving his American Manufacturing Council could be easily replaced.
