Barron Trump was denied a bank account because of the ‘cancel mob’, Melania claims in a new book

Barron Trump was denied a bank account because of the ‘cancel mob’, former first lady Melania Trump reveals in her new book.

In her memoir Melania, the former first lady discusses the “poison of cancel culture” she experienced after leaving the White House just weeks after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Former President Donald Trump was in the political doghouse for his role in the brutal riot, but Melania writes that she and Barron were also affected.

“I was shocked and dismayed to hear that my old bank decided to close my account and deny my son the opportunity to open a new one,” she said. “This decision appeared to be rooted in political discrimination, raising serious concerns about civil rights violations.”

She called it “disturbing” that a financial services provider could discriminate “on the basis of political beliefs.”

Melania said she even had problems with charity work.

The former first lady started Fostering the Future when she left the White House and decided she wanted to help children in foster care.

She wrote in the book, released Tuesday, that a “leading technology education company” had agreed to partner with the nonprofit until Melania’s involvement was announced.

“Despite my efforts to focus solely on children’s education and my willingness to avoid any public association with the program, the school stood firm and terminated the agreement,” she said.

“It has been disturbing to see people who claim to care about the well-being of communities engage in actions that harm those communities,” she continued.

She said she believed the trend was “escalating out of control.”

“The ‘cancel mob’ now includes corporations, traditional media, influential social media figures and cultural institutions,” she wrote. “This discouraging trend reflects the current sociopolitical landscape in the United States.”

“These ideologues, who often lack basic decency, can cause collateral damage to innocent people. “It is clear that these self-proclaimed ‘activists’ have little regard for the consequences of their behavior, even when it negatively impacts the people they claim to care for,” she continued.

Melania then recalled another foster care event she was supposed to attend, but it was scrapped when “the organizer and their families, including several older workers, faced harassment from the New York Times and social media activists.”

“Ultimately, the event never happened because of these pressures, which left foster children as the primary victims,” the former first lady said.

The bank account incident didn’t faze Barron Trump, who graduated from high school in May and is now a freshman at New York University.

When asked how the 18-year-old was doing during an interview Tuesday night on Fox News Channel’s The Five, Melania said his college career was off to a good start.

He’s doing great. He loves his classes and his professors. He’s doing well. He strives and enjoys being indoors New York City again,” she said.
