So why did the *resident slag the black CEO but not the white one for doing the same thing on the same day?

This morning, when the chairman of Merck resigned from the *resident's business council over his weekend Nazi-pandering (An den Nazis am Wochenende, Google tells me is the original), Mr Trump took 54 minutes to launch a blistering tweet attacking him as a drug price gouger.

Now that Ken Frazier of Merck Pharma has resigned from President's Manufacturing Council,he will have more time to LOWER RIPOFF DRUG PRICES!

Then, after Chris Christie brought him his Happy Meal dinner, the *resident struck again:

.@Merck Pharma is a leader in higher & higher drug prices while at the same time taking jobs out of the U.S. Bring jobs back & LOWER PRICES!

In between, he read a tepid statement sort of denouncing the Klan and the Nazis but not their #AltRight umbrella, run by his aide Steve Bannon.

The *resident neither gained nor lost support with his bored, I've-never-seen-these-words-before-so-I'm-reading-it-like-a-hostage tone. That's because no one believed he meant a word of it.

His opponents knew when it's the third try in 48 hours, there is nothing to it of substance.

His supporters know their man. It runs in the family.

The New York Times had this story 90 years ago last May:

Here's a link to the story of how the among the *resident's firsts is being the son of a man arrested at a Klan rally in Queens, New York.

Tonight, the CEO of UnderArmour also resigned from the same council for the same reason:

I love our country & company. I am stepping down from the council to focus on inspiring & uniting through power of sport. - CEO Kevin Plank pic.twitter.com/8YvndJMjj1
