Even before the group could make its official announcement, Trump tweeted: "Rather than putting pressure on the businesspeople of the Manufacturing Council & Strategy & Policy Forum, I am ending both. Thank you all!"

Like quitting a job knowing he'll be fired or breaking up with someone who wants to leave him.

means... "I tried to pressure them into staying but they already voted to disband... so I'm going to CLAIM that I could pressure them into staying but I am being magnanimous by disbanding them myself... because I am in charge! Dammit!"

Business traditionally is slow to alter their public image out of fear of alienating investors and consumers. So the social norm is still Nazi's are bad no matter Twitler, Fox News, and his supporters think.

Probably the same reason I am not president of the United States, I have a broad and shallow knowledge of many subjects. But I am only expert in one. Donald Trump is experienced, alright. But he doesn't have 40 years experience, he has one-year's experience 40 times over.

And still hasn't learned to serve others first---that is the key to business success in the long run.

It's like you know your boyfriend is on his way to your house to break up with you, he's got a cardboard box filled with your stuff, so you pre-empt him with a breakup tweet en-route.
