In one of his free-associative rants, Trump went on about how he would not let his followers be “de-banked” for their political beliefs. Which isn’t really a thing. Now, he may have had his hostages martyrs minions in jail on his mind. Admittedly, a felony conviction might make me reevaluate someone’s credit-worthiness if I were a banker. It’s not so much the political beliefs as the ten years in the slammer. And the effects on hireability going forward. Maybe that’s just me.
But we also know that Trump projects like crazy. And tries to rope his followers into his troubles. “They’re not coming after me, they’re coming after you.” “Everything I go through, I do it for you.” “poor martyred me, blahblahblah”.
So, is it possible that, in view of his fraud trial and all the hullaballo about his financial statements, one of his formerly complaisant banks did some ACTUAL due diligence? Looked at his un-doctored debt to income ratio? Factored in the definite and probable judgements he will have to pay, and the likelihood of him being barred from NY state business? And decided, you know, this guy isn’t such a great credit risk, is he? Maybe we shouldn’t lend him any more. Even call in the loan he’s got.
Is it possible ohpleaseohpleaseohplease that somebody debanked Trump?
