Is the OP about Thai banks that refused business with someone in the US who calls himself really, really rich, but refuse to release his tax returns 10 years after he made that a CAMPAIGN PROMISE?

I don't think so. It is about a US President, multiple times bankrupted, multiple times convicted for fraud, and who is in debt with many big banks, who was refused by two of the largest US banks.

         No it is about a property developer / business man who has been bankrupted and recovered  several times in the past, and  he certainly isn't the first of those.  The fact is,  the majority of Americans saw fit to vote him in as their President regardless of the above, 

        If you were debanked for any reason you would soon be on here crying like a little girl,about how you had been mistreated by the evil capitalist banking organisations  That you gloat when it happens to others says a lot about about you.

       If you support the democratic process, flawed as it maybe,  you should support your President you will have your opportunity to change things at the next election  in the meantime you and all the other haters  continually attacking him on here achieves little other than feeding your bizarre frenzied collective hatred of your President and those patriots and true "democrats" who support him.

       Tell me, why is it that any country or organisation with the word democrat or democratic in its title is without exception the complete opposite?  down right weird if you ask me, just like the obsessed Trump haters

All the other banks that are happy to deal with him! 

He wasn't asking the two yank banks for loans, he wanted to deposit very substantial funds with them, where's the risk in that?

'Who ... would trust such an individual?'
Obviously someone deep in the cult — like yourself.

But not JPMorgan and BofA, who told him to take his billion and shove it — his reputation for bankruptcies, fraud, and legal baggage precede him like a bad smell.

'Non-Americans crying together'?

More like pushing back against the self-styled ‘leader of the free world’ as he morphs into a super-spreader — not of COVID, but of a post-WWII cocktail of lies, propaganda, division, and authoritarianism, poisoned with Hitler’s demagoguery, Stalin’s paranoia, Mussolini’s vanity, and Franco’s repression.

When your actions destabilise the world, you don’t get to claim only Americans can speak.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for all good men to say nothing.

           I think he is doing just fine, as do many others.   Getting rid of illegals yes  stopping DEI rubbish yes  Preventing the wasteful abuse of taxpayers money yes  and generally limiting trans rubbish yes   all positives

           Biden and Harris had plenty to say for themselves,  all of it was incomprehensible rubbish,  How did that help  prevent the triumph of evil 

           The world has always been unstable hardly Trumps fault is it   and comparing him to Hitler Mussolini and  Stalin is the  ridiculous lefty rhetoric beloved of woke students who would do better by saying nothing.

Trump whinged yesterday, when he signed a new EO about banking, that banks like JP Morgan and BoA "discriminated against him.

 

The EO deals with, among other things, discrimination based on religious beliefs. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that does not mean Moslems or Sikhs, but rather Born Again White Jeebus types.

 

In any event, for all his many faults, Trump is not a Jeebus freak. A blasphemer per that Christian definition, yes, but in any way religious, no.

 

It's just possible that banks chose to avoid a guy who's declared 6 bankruptcies. I don't know, but that kind of suggests irresponsibility and a poor business sense, especially given he stiffed banks and junk bond buyers because he bankrupted businesses where fools line up to give you their money.

 

Or it could be banks realized Trump isn't exactly honest, or maybe not so skilled of a real estate magnate. After all, he "miscalculated" the square footage of his own condo by 200% in his loan applications, claiming 30,000+ sf when in reality it's a shade under 11,000sf. His finance chief also said, under oath he mis-estimated (sic) the condo's value in his loan application by 'give or take $200,000,000'. Well, no place in Manhattan has even sold for $200,000,000, so the overage is so severe banks could be excused for thinking he might be lying, or just an idiot.

Spellbound by Trump’s culture-war theatre, you’ve mistaken propaganda for policy — Goebbels would be proud. While you cheer symbolic “wins,” he’s refusing to release the Epstein files, flattering autocrats, failing to stop wars, weakening alliances, undermining democratic norms, ditching climate action, stoking division, and mounting debt.
 

That blindness shows in your logic fails — straw man, red herring, false cause, whataboutism, loaded language, and quote-twisting — all wrapped in ridicule instead of reason.
 

'Contrary to nature'? Loyalty to a criminal, sex predator and conman isn’t just contrary to nature — it’s contrary to common sense.

Trump Says JPMorgan, Bank of America Refused His Business

 

“The banks discriminated against me very badly,” Trump said in an interview Tuesday with CNBC.

Trump said he had been “informed by my people” that JPMorgan Chase & Co. had asked him to close accounts he held for decades within 20 days, and that Bank of America Corp. declined his attempt to deposit more than $1 billion with their company.

“I ended up going to small banks all over the place,” Trump said.

 

Well, Trump is a PEP now, a politically exposed person. That would make banking complicated for anybody.

He defaulted on the loans, and the banks have forgiven them rather than starting a long and expensive court case.
