A Florida bank announced on Thursday that they have closed President Donald Trump’s bank accounts. Trump’s money-market accounts at Banks United held between $5.1 million and $25.2 million, according to his financial disclosures.(Snip)Professional Bank also announced that they will no longer be doing business with the former president or his organizations in a statement last week. Additionally, Signature Bank in New York and Deutsche Bank have also said that they have cut ties with Trump and his businesses.(Snip)It is not enough that they cheated him out of office, the left won’t stopretaliating until his life is completely ruined.

Are there no Christian bankers or businessmen who will stand with this President?

I think he will make his next $5 billion suing the hell out of cretins like these. I'm sick of the "woke" generation.

What is their reason. I don't get this hatred, but it tells me he has no future in politics. There are too many people that hate his guts.

They just want to make sure that no “outsiders” ever get the idea to run for President again against a candidate chosen by the “insider” DC “UniParty” establishment. What the Democrats are angling for is essentially a permanent Democrat Party dictatorship in the USA where the chosen dictator is replaced every four or eight years through an election, always being a Democrat, with the wimpy Republicans being a minor political party that never has a chance to win such an election, but whose functionaries in order to keep them quite and to play along will get to share in a part of the spoils. Of course things can go wrong so bad that a Republican candidate might win sometime in the future, and if that occurs the electorate will be told 24/7 by the liberal media to “Resist” the Republican Administration until that Administration can be removed from office by hook or by crook, but when the Democrat candidate wins, the electorate will be told 24/7 by the liberal media to “unify” behind the New Democrat Administration for the sake of democracy. Sound familiar?

I don't see how any of this is legal. There are discrimination laws that must be complied with in order to be allowed to conduct business with the public. But frankly, I think Trump will be glad to be rid of these banks. There are plenty of banks that will take up that business, and will be glad to do it. I am firing Democrat businesses as fast as I can. Some businesses I have to reduce my business, but even those, I can move a large block to another place.

It isn't legal. Nothing done in the past four years by the democrats has been legal. Biden isn't legally the president. But there he is. Harris isn't legally qualified to be president, but there she is as Vice President. Democrats don't need to obey laws, they get away with everything. I'm sure other banks will be happy to accept Trump's money.

Remember, if they can do it to him, they WILL do it to US. Get ready, folks. Get ready. Those banks willing to accept President Trump's money will be under pressure, if they do. These people have amassed more power than we know.
We live in a lawless America; every man is a law unto himself. Parler's winnable suit against amazon was denied by a corrupt judge. We have no redress. President Trump appointed crooked judges on top of vomit's crooked judges. They were busy plotting away our freedom while we thought we were winning. It's time to get wise, think ahead, be ready.

My guess is they don’t want him to create his social media site. They closed or blocked him from Twitter & Facebook , blocked him from book sales,...he has no way to speak. Remember how the Tea Party was harassed & $$$ settlement were paid by the government. Rich Dems own abccbsnbccnnfox, newspapers, magazines, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Hollywood, Google....in the ole days the government broke up companies when they became toooo big.

Although I have no proof, my best guess is that federal bank examiners, the FBI, and perhaps the CIA are all leaning on those banks by announcing audits.
Even Mr. Drysdale would have dumped Jed Clampett, if under such audit threat.
Here is the dirty truth. If any of you people, like me, have had self employment income which was variable, and applied for a mortgage, you probably provided 'false' financial information in your loan app[lication.

Forget the courts. They are completely crooked at this point. This one is really easy. If you have any money in any of these banks, withdraw ALL your funds, in cash. Start a bank run on these clowns.
We still have a majority of the people in this country. Dominion machines don't count. If we take action together, we can crush them one by one. Use their own Alinsky rules against them. Focus on a target, isolate it. Act against it. Just the way they are doing it against Trump.
Pick a bank. Pick a college. Pick a social media site. Boycott. Strike. Use their own tactics. We have the financial might to so this. Do it.

Well at this rate we all might be hiding the stuff under our matresses anyway. I am sure there will be locals who will be happy to do business with him. Not every banker is a slimey communist.

This makes me think of this interview/quote. President Trump has a mind like an elephant- he NEVER forgets!
"Trump: I used to say, and in fact I think I said in my first book and maybe this was foolish but I really meant it, that someday I'd like to maybe lose everything for a period of time to see who's loyal and who's not loyal. Frankly, I found out that [crosstalk].
Charlie: Did you find out who's loyal and who's not loyal?
Trump: I'll tell you what. You can't guess it. You can't predict it. You think certain people would be loyal no matter what. It turns out that they're not. You just can't predict it. It's very difficult."

This is FLORIDA! It's Trump Country! I suspect now that the word is out they are going to have a run on their Bank. People in FL have a multitude of banks to choose from, they don't have to do business with a Bank that would be so despicable! I hope everyone who has money at Banks United will hustle over there today and show them what happens to a Business that thinks they can pick and choose who they wish to do business with! Guess they never noticed what happened to Target or Fox News!

So much for the rule of law. Laws can be changed. So can constitutions. The rule rule of law can be made to protect everyone or only a privileged few. That's where we are heading.
They will take your freedoms.
They will take your wealth.
If you complain, they will take your life.
Just witness what they are doing to Trump. Don't kid yourself. They will do this to everyone because they want EVERYTHING.
What to do? Reduce the tax revenue going in to our government.
- Cut back on what you buy and produce.
- Remove your wealth from their financial system.
These cretins destroy businesses and jobs all the while refusing to acknowledge that its the revenue they get from those jobs and businesses that keep them alive. Tax revenue is the government's life blood. Cut them off.

As I repeatedly tell anyone who will listen: YOU WILL BE MADE TO CARE.
Whether it is leftist social issues, the law, your business, or your employment. If you are a deplorable - err - that is, a White Supremacist, you will be made to care.
Laws and the Constitution mean nothing to these people - the election proved that. The rule appears to be you'd better go along to get along or you'll find yourself at their mercy (and they have precious little).

I will keep a running list of companies, including banks, that practice this kind of reprehensible personal discrimination on anyone, not just the President. I will not do business with them, and will cease doing business with them if I am currently. Just one voice, but multiplied many times over, its economic force will be significant. 75 million voices.

Banks do what the majority of Government demands. Remember the 2007 crash? Started off by Democrats demanding banks give housing loans to unqualified borrowers. Banks ended up with worthless loans and bundled them as investments at face value. They got passed around till some poor fools ended up with their entire life's savings in these "valuable commodities" and found they were earning as advertised, and no one would buy them back.
And I should say the Swamp demanded this, because there were few enough Republicans who objected at the time. Swamp policies as visualized by the Democrats, destroy American Lives and protect only crappy Elitist politicians and their protected donor class.

Makes no sense that a bank would turn its back on a large depositor like Trump. They will send him his check and Trump can happily take his business elsewhere.

The outrageous treatment of Trump has always been a warning to his supporters that this is what is in store for you, unless you obey. I said early on in this insanity that if the FBI, CIA, the federal government at large, state governments can do this type of stuff to Trump, the most powerful person on the planet, imagine what they will do to we "little people."
Looks like in addition to carrying medical ID cards that note whether we have had the required vaccinations for the Chi Com flu or any other mysterious illness that surfaces to keep us in lock down and in control, we will have to carry a loyalty card, in order to keep and open bank, social media, credit card accounts, etc. I am saying this somewhat sarcastically, but deep down in my soul, I believe this is where we are going as a society.

The concept of "Legal" stops at our cowardly Supreme Court. They only follow the 00 Amendment: If a Leftist does it, it's okay. If a right-wing radical insurrectionist does it, book him.

If they can do it to him they can do it to you. Pull your money out of these banks if you have anything deposited with them is all I can say. Why would you trust a bank who can be influenced in their dealings by a bunch of vindictive politicians? And will judge you on your voting record or how you are registered to vote?

Deutsche Bank has always had a sleazy side. It busted sanctions by doing business with Syria, Iran, etc. It had a habit of planting its security people in law firms looking into their malfeasance. IIRC, the Mueller team wanted DB to provide Trump's financial records as part of their investigation of Trump. The Trump family sued DB to prevent this. So, there is a history of crooked DB and the Trump family. I suspect DB closed the family's accounts now since the left is feeling their oats and the bank knows it will not be punished for it.

Another tyrannical tactic from the Left. I'm sure Soros, Bloomberg or other big money accounts made their demands to these banks. They're moves are so predictable.
These dictators just can't help exposing themselves to the world.
Rest Assured, there are other banks who will be more than happy to do business with President Trump.

This is not going to end well. You can’t keep pushing people and pushing people and not expect them to pushback. I’m against violence and was against the 1/6 DC protests, but this is not going to stand. We have Two America’s right now and they are trying to eliminate our 1/2. This IS a civil war. I’ve said it for years. The war has already begun. Information is the weapon of choice. Brothers and cousins won’t be standing off against brothers and cousins in farmers fields, killing each other with bullets and bayonets. This time it’s information and cancel culture. If your a “non-person” you don’t count. Your DEAD!

They robbed the election and now go for total personal destruction. We are taking names: Banks United, Signature Bank, Deutsche Bank, Amazon, Twitter, YouTube, Google, Fox News, Hollywood, NBA, NFL. These companies want to cancel US. Remember we are half of the country and the half that works for a living. Our economic power is enormous. Cold anger. Their stolen election will be remembered.

This goes further than Trump and the banks. We should not be doing business with any company that is politically left. This week we asked a local insurance company what their politics were: what they believed about the first amendment. After a couple of days they called and said they declined to do business with us. Good! We smoked them out. They probably voted for Biden. Also we canceled Amazon Prime. We don't support companies who take our money and then undermine our values with our dollars. Now is the time to find out who is on the side of righteousness: law and order, the Constitution and God. It's like holding up the cross in front of Dracula.

This cannot be allowed to stand! Trump must sue on the grounds of discrimination and restraint of trade. Banks operate under the same laws we do.
They do not "cancel" the bank accounts of murderers and rapists or real Nazis hiding their loot but are singling out Trump to set an example ... and to see if they can get away with it. If they can control Trump's access to the banking system then they can do that to you and me. Telling someone they cannot have access to currency means you can go starve.
Nip this in the bud. Don't let it bloom. Inundate these banks with texts, emails, letters, phone calls, whatever. If I had money there I'd remove it!

If we are agreed bakers aren't required to bake LGBTQetc wedding cakes, why are banks required to provide banking services to people they'd prefer not be customers? They aren't discriminating against those protected classes, i.e. race, gender, gender identification, sexual preference or whatever else cooked up. These banks don't want his business. He can take it elsewhere.
I bet there are all sorts of bankers willing to take his business. Now, where are they?

Poster 20 reminded me - is the strike under way? I read an interesting book by Ayn Rand way back in high school. Rand was an escapee from the Soviet Union. The book was Atlas Shrugged. I figure any book my socialism worshiping schoolteacher hated might be worth reading. I enjoyed the book but I thought Rand was over the top. Turns out, she was a prophet...... only they are even worse than she described.

Mr. Trump. I hope you decide to fight it out and create a new party. Immediately find a good prospect for Burr's seat in NC. Get a really good person for the new party. If you are not up to it, I suggest the following.
Move to Israel, they love you there. Build a Trump building overlooking the Med at Tel Aviv. Become an Israeli citizen.
The Dems along with the Repubs are set on destroying America. They will lose as General Sherman predicted after the civil war. Which is, America cannot fight or survive a guerilla war. We have to pardon the southerners.
You dumb jokes on tv and the news along with the politicians. You come from protected lives. Your foolish third world talks will destroy you. s
Lets go for Burr first and any other Repub running who is not loyal to defeating the stolen election.

#17, Actually, the world banks will all be forcing an economic crisis on us once they get their "New monetary system" in place. They will completely eliminate all physical currency and force us into electronic credit system, which will be used to control all our behavior. We cannot allow this to happen. Spread the word. Transparency is the only disinfectant that can kill their plans. It is NOT a conspiracy theory. It is REAL. Right now they are stealing all our wealth. COVID was a good cover for a lot of it. Also, beginning in 1998 to 2015, they took $21 Trillion from the Treasury. Nobody knows where it went. Next will be all your 401Ks and other retirement accounts.
