In the wake of the violent uprising last week by a pro-Trump mob at the Capitol, some businesses are cutting ties with the Trump organization.
On January 6, the Capitol closed when thousands of supporters of President Donald Trump descended on the building, causing chaos, damage and violence. At least five people were killed.
In the wake of the riot, politicians – including Republican House minority leader Kevin McCarthy – have spoken out about the president’s responsibility to incite violence. Leading business leaders, including Apple CEO Tim Cook and Google CEO Sundar Pichai, have also spoken out against the siege. Business Roundtable has issued a statement a call on the president to end the chaos. ‘
Platforms, including Twitter and Facebook, have banned the president’s accounts. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey broke his silence on the ban last night, saying it was a ‘dangerous precedent’.
In a historic vote on Wednesday, Trump became the first president to be twice accused by Congress. If he is convicted by the Senate (a step that requires a two-thirds majority), it could vote on whether he should resign from office again.
But some actions go beyond statements: businesses and other entities sever their financial ties to Trump and the Trump organization.
In the wake of the uprising and accusation, some groups previously affiliated with the Trump organization prefer to break ties. The Trump organization did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.
Here are all the businesses and entities that have publicly separated from the Trump organization.
