Ken Frazier, the CEO of Merck, who has just resigned from the President's American Manufacturing Council, made an elegant statement today.

"I am resigning from the President’s American Manufacturing Council. Our country’s strength comes from its diversity and the contributions made by men and women of different faiths, races, sexual orientations and political beliefs. America’s leaders must honor our fundamental values by clearly rejecting expressions of hatred, bigotry and group supremacy, which run counter to the American ideal that all people are created equal. As CEO of Merck and as a matter of personal conscience, I feel a responsibility to take a stand against intolerance and extremism."

A statement like Frazier's is what Trump should have made two days ago, or even yesterday or even today. Trump has had a couple of days to think about recent events. He has utterly failed to make anything resembling a suitable Presidential statement.
