Schwarzman killed Trump's pro-biz panel. He informed POTUS in a call, before the tweet

[kpete]

One of the councils had planned to disband after a conference call of its executives on Wednesday morning, a person familiar with the matter said. Mr. Trump’s tweet came after reports that council was disbanding.

Blackstone Group LP Chief Executive Stephen A. Schwarzman, who led the Strategic and Policy Forum, phoned the president on Wednesday to inform him the group was being disbanded, according to people familiar with the call.

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!

After the call, which was described as cordial, the president tweeted that it was his decision to disband that council. In that tweet, he also announced he was disbanding the manufacturing council.

A White House spokesman declined to comment.

4. Another day, another Trump lie.

And they actually thought he would get better as the gravitas of his office the weight of the awesome responsibility that came with the job, reshaped him. LOL

Shocking. Just shocking. Like he's never done that before.

11. I knew it. Things are starting to crumble

Charlottesville put a crack in the Bannon/Trump armor and things will begin to weaken. Heather Heyer's death and that of the two local police officers is a turning point.

So Trump can puff out his chest all he wants like he did yesterday but that bludgeoning bravado can't sustain the horror that happened last weekend.
