Barron Trump was denied his bank account because of ‘cancel mob’: Melania

Former President Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, was denied a new bank account due to a political ‘cancel mob’, his mother, Melania, claiming she had ‘serious concerns about civil rights abuses’.

The former first lady said her son, who is now 18, was told he could not open the account at her favorite financial institution in the weeks after the Trumps left the White House in early 2021.

“I was shocked and dismayed to learn that my old bank decided to close my account and deny my son the opportunity to open a new one,” Melania wrote in her new memoir, “Melania.”

“This decision appeared to be rooted in political discrimination, raising serious concerns about civil rights violations.”

Melania did not mention the name of the bank she was referring to.

But she said the “disturbing” criticism was part of a “cancel culture poison” the family experienced after the Jan. 6 Capitol riots that followed her husband’s 2020 election loss, she wrote.

The former first lady also claimed in her new book, published Tuesday, that the apparent cancel culture her family experienced began to escalate “unchecked” — and even filtered down to prevent her from doing charity work and securing business deals .

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

“The cancellation continues – an attitude from companies both large and small that never ceases to amaze me,” she continued.

“It is ironic that my business acumen is being criticized while other former government officials are being praised for similar efforts, such as multi-million dollar security media deals. This disparity can only be explained by prejudices related to my surname and political beliefs.”

The revelation about her son’s bank account came after the former first lady told Fox News on Tuesday that the 6-foot-2 teen is “doing great” since starting New York University this fall.

“He loves his classes and his professors,” Melania said. “He is doing well, doing well and enjoying being back in New York City.”

Donald and Melania’s only son is expected to commute together from Trump Tower in Midtown to attend classes in Greenwich Village.
