Some of the biggest-named charities in America are walking away from President Trump.

The American Red Cross, The Salvation Army and Susan G. Komen foundation all said Friday they’re canceling events at Trump’s Palm Beach property Mar-a-Lago. That comes after three organizations made similar announcements on Thursday.

 The cancellations follow the spectacular implosion of Trump’s business councils this week over the president’s insistence that counter-protesters shared the blame for violence at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

.

The collapse of the councils was an extraordinary rebuke to a president who prides himself on being business-friendly. High-profile CEOs like JPMorgan Chase’ (JPM)Jamie Dimon have publicly slammed Trump’s reaction to Charlottesville.

Now, Trump’s words are affecting his own business.

Their message, all issued separately in interviews and open letters, are particularly resonant in a climate when there’s so much controversy over the Civil War symbols and when the President of the United States himself said removing them is ripping apart the country.

“The Democrats,” he said, “the longer they talk about identity politics, I got ’em. I want them to talk about racism every day. If the left is focused on race and identity, and we go with economic nationalism, we can crush the Democrats.”

.

That is as succinct a reading of what happened in the 2016 as any. It is also a prediction about the enduring power of Trump’s strategy. And Bannon may in fact be right — Democrats, including Bernie Sanders, have made the same argument that the left focuses too much on identity politics, to its detriment.

.

Yet, in mentioning “identity politics” on the left, and suggesting that no such thing exists on the right, Bannon argues that it’s the left alone that “is focused on race and identity,” and not Trump.

 

 He is wrong.
