Disney CEO Bob Iger and corporate welfare queen Elon Musk resigned from Trump's White House advisory council after he made good on his promise to remove the US from the regressive Paris Accord.

From the LA Times:

Tesla’s Elon Musk and Disney’s Robert Iger both said they were resigning from White House advisory councils after President Trump announced Thursday that he is withdrawing the United States from the Paris climate accord.

Along with those two chief executives, other pillars of corporate America — including Google’s chief executive and Amazon.com — joined a growing chorus of disapproval over Trump’s decision.

“Leaving Paris is not good for America or the world,” Musk tweeted.

Am departing presidential councils. Climate change is real. Leaving Paris is not good for America or the world.

It also is not good for his bank account, as he's made billions of dollars off of US taxpayers attempting to "solve" an imaginary problem which doesn't exist.

Why is no one pointing out all these whining scammers are only whining because they're afraid they'll no longer be able to profit off this scam through corporate welfare?

Hours after Musk pulled out, Iger — who with Musk was on Trump’s business advisory panel — said he was leaving that council “as a matter of principle.”

As a matter of principle, I've resigned from the President's Council over the #ParisAgreement withdrawal.

...Iger did not attend either of the two meetings the council has had so far — citing scheduling conflicts — but he told CNBC’s Julia Boorstin last month that he was in touch with the Trump administration.

Good riddance.

General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt, a member of Trump’s council on manufacturing, also tweeted his disapproval of Trump’s choice to exit the climate change pact Thursday.

Disappointed with today’s decision on the Paris Agreement. Climate change is real. Industry must now lead and not depend on government.

Today's decision is a setback for the environment and for the U.S.'s leadership position in the world. #ParisAgreement

Real grassroots support we've got here, folks. It's truly remarkable how The Resistance™ is supported by every globalist transnational mega-corporation the progressive left just a few years ago believed was raping and pillaging the world.

"Wtf I love transnational mega-corporations now."

That's your "grassroots resistance," folks.

Pulling the US out of this scam is the best thing Trump's done yet.
