12 business leaders who have distanced themselves from Trump so far

It's no secret that this White House tends to hemorrhage staff.

But occupants of the West Wing aren't the only casualties of President Donald Trump's governing style.

While Trump has repeatedly billed himself as pro-business, his rhetoric and actions around immigration policy, the environment, and the deadly white-supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, have provoked the ire of several business leaders. 

Some have made public statements condemning the president, while others have publicly exited Trump's various White House councils.

Following a wave of departures from these councils and reports that Trump's main business council agreed to disband itself, Trump scrapped his Strategic and Policy Forum and his manufacturing council.

Here are 12 business leaders who have publicly distanced themselves from the president, so far:

Denise Morrison, CEO of Campbell Soup Company

Morrison left the council Wednesday, according to Business Insider's Bob Bryan and Lydia Ramsey. The move came after Campbell Soup Company released a statement condemning the "racism and murder" that occurred in Charlottesville.

Inge Thulin, CEO of 3M

3M

Thulin announced he was leaving Trump's initiative Wednesday, according to Business Insider reported. In a statement, the CEO asserted 3M's commitment to a healthier, more prosperous US. "After careful consideration, I believe the initiative is no longer an effective vehicle for 3M to advance these goals. As a result, today I am resigning from the Manufacturing Advisory Council."

The president of the largest collection of labor unions in the US resigned from the president's manufacturing council Tuesday, Bob Bryan reported for Business Insider.

Trumka bashed Trump's response to the violent white supremacist rally in Charlottesville in his announcement.

"We cannot sit on a council for a President who tolerates bigotry and domestic terrorism," he said in a statement.
