But, every single other person on that council should realize that they will be judged by history as collaborators if they don't step down.

I don't buy UnderArmour stuff as I am a cyclists and they just don't have much in the way of cycling clothes. I do use an app MapMyRide which is UA. I was paying for the more complete app over the free one, but cancelled renewal because of the CEO connection to tRump. I said that in an email to UnderArmour. I do like the premium app, so maybe I will subscribe again.

Sooner or later, people are going to realize that being associated with Trump is bad for business and bad for their future election possibilities.
