Former President Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, was denied a new bank account because of a political “cancel mob,” his mother Melania claimed of “serious concerns about civil rights violations.”
The former first lady said her son, who is now 18, was told he couldn’t open the account at her preferred financial institution in the weeks following the Trumps leaving the White House in early 2021.
“I was shocked and dismayed to learn that my long-time bank decided to terminate 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 didn’t drop the name of the bank she was referring to.
But she said the “troubling” snub was part of a “venom of cancel culture” the family experienced after the Jan. 6 Capitol riots that followed her husband’s 2020 election loss, she wrote.
