Trump showed his priorities on Monday by not denouncing racists, but he did have time to throw a fit and attack a CEO who quit his manufacturing council.

Trump tweeted:

Now that Ken Frazier of Merck Pharma has resigned from President's Manufacturing Council,he will have more time to LOWER RIPOFF DRUG PRICES! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 14, 2017

Trump still hasn’t mentioned the domestic terror attack by racists in Charlottesville that killing one and wounded nineteen, but he has plenty of time to scold a CEO for resigning from his manufacturing council. The President does have priorities. Unfortunately, none of those priorities involve protecting the American people or leading the country.

The administration passed the point of absurdity when they were ranting about the crowd size at Trump’s inauguration, the day after he took office. Crazy conspiracy theories like Obama spying on Trump are one thing, but there are real world consequences to a president who refuses to explicitly denounce racist terrorist attacks by the far right.

The message that Trump has sent is clear. The white supremacists and Nazis have a green light from this president to carry out acts of violence and terrorism. Trump is more worried about a CEO insulting him than an American who was killed in an act of right wing domestic terrorism.

Donald Trump keeps finding new and different ways to diminish and disgrace the presidency.
