Rejected by a broad swath of top CEOs over his incendiary comments on race, President Trump on Wednesday abruptly shut down his two key groups of outside business advisers.

Why it matters: Trump's "both sides" response to the violence has made CEOs even more wary of interacting with the White House, with many of them facing pressure from employees and shareholders to distance themselves. We are witnessing the swiftest, biggest big business rebuke/revolt of the Trump presidency.

Trump's announcement came minutes after news broke that one of the groups was disbanding because of Trump's divisive comments.

The group, the President's Strategic and Policy Forum , is chaired by Stephen A. Schwarzman, chairman, CEO and co-founder of Blackstone.

and the group has decided to disband," a top executive said as a conference call of the CEOs continued. How it happened: The decision was made quickly, the executive said: "Given the comments of the last several days, no one could continue to be seen as supporting this kind of divisiveness."

Trump's tweet roughly 24 hours prior: "For every CEO that drops out of the Manufacturing Council, I have many to take their place. Grandstanders should not have gone on. JOBS!"
