Disney CEO Bob Iger Resigns From President Trump's Advisory Council Over Paris Agreement Withdrawal

SNIP
Trump said he would try to renegotiate a more “fair” climate deal, but said it would be “fine” if those efforts failed. He said the move would bring jobs and boost the U.S. economy, but experts and business leaders say it may do the opposite.

“As a matter of principle, I’ve resigned from the President’s Council over the #ParisAgreement withdrawal,” Iger tweeted on Thursday.

I don't see how that's going to turn out well. Disney completely gets how to work public opinion.

I don't really know the goal of the Pres Council.
Perhaps Musk & Iger realized there never was a goal at all.
Just a fancy named club.

Maybe they were all required to take a loyalty oath to Trump or Vlad.
