Trump Prepares to Sign EO Forbidding Political De-Banking and Imposing Penalties on Banks Who Corruptly De-Banked Citizens
Trump told CNBC that JP Morgan and Bank of America had debanked him for no reason.
Here's how terrorist propaganda organization Reuters reported it:
JPMorgan and Bank of America "debanked" President Trump for his role in the January 6 Capitol Hill melee following pressure from the Biden administration's banking regulators and the Federal Reserve, people with direct knowledge of the matter tell The Post. The exact reason for Trump and his tens of millions of dollars in holdings being kicked off the JPMorgan banking platform, and then denied access to Bank of America's services has yet to be reported. But sources at the banks -- the No. 1 and No. 2 largest in the US in terms of assets -- confirmed the cause stemmed from the controversy surrounding Trump's actions that day, and threats from Biden's bank regulators that banking the former president's money put them at in danger of falling afoul of rule that prohibit financial institution from doing business with individuals and companies that present a "reputational risk." People at the banks tell The Post that Biden's banking cops at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the FDIC and the Federal Reserve often used the nebulous nature of the edict to go beyond debanking money launderers and drug kingpins. They were pressured to include people who have heterodox political and business ties that often included conservatives and anyone who participated in the January 6 protests. Trump, of course, survived it all and is now in his second presidential term. He is vowing to end debanking; his regulators have stopped enforcing the reputational risk clause and he plans an executive order in the matter. ... An executive at JPMorgan said regulators "put the fear of God in you if you did business" with people like Trump. ... A Bank of America spokesman declined comment. JPMorgan said in a statement: "We don't close accounts for political reasons, and we agree with President Trump that regulatory change is desperately needed. We commend the White House for addressing this issue and look forward to working with them to get this right." A bank rep wouldn't deny that the reputation risk edict was at the heart of its debanking of Trump. Trump himself revealed that he was debanked Tuesday in an interview with the financial network CNBC. He said he was denied services at both institutions sometime after his first term ended in January 2021, just weeks after the storming of the Capitol building that political opponents of Trump have described as a riot and insurrection. First he said he was booted by JPMorgan. "I had 100s of millions. I had many, many accounts loaded up with cash. I was loaded up with cash, and they told me, 'I'm sorry, sir, we can't have you. You have 20 days to get out.' I said, 'you've got to be kidding. I've been with you for 35, 40 years.' "
Then he was denied services by Bank Of America. During the interview, he named both JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon and Brian Moynihan of Bank of America, stating both refused to come to his defense. He said Moynihan, "was kissing my ass when I was president, and when I called him after I was president to deposit a billion dollars plus and a lot of other things, more importantly to open accounts, which banks always like . . . And he said, we can't do it." Trump and his regulators have sought to end the practice and he's issuing an executive order imminently to end politically motivated debanking.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he believes that banks discriminate against him and his supporters, adding that Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase had previously refused to accept his deposits. "They totally discriminate against, I think, me maybe even more, but they discriminate against many conservatives," he told CNBC in an interview. "I think the word might be Trump supporters more than conservatives." Trump made the comments when asked about a report by the Wall Street Journal that said he planned to punish banks that discriminated against conservatives, but did not address the order specifically. The order instructs regulators to review banks for "politicized or unlawful debanking" practices, according to a draft reviewed by Reuters. "Well, they did discriminate," Trump said of actions taken by JPMorgan Chase after his first term in office. "I had hundreds of millions, I had many, many accounts loaded up with cash ... and they told me, 'I'm sorry sir, we can't have you. You have 20 days to get out.'" Trump said, without providing evidence, that he believed that the banks' refusal to take his deposits indicated that the administration of former President Joe Biden had encouraged banking regulators to "destroy Trump."

Remember Trump is a King or a Dictator or something because he enforces the laws on the books, whereas Biden was a Good Guy because he tried to imprison, cancel, and debank his domestic political opposition.

Moynihan was asked about Trump's statement in an interview with Becky Quick on CNBC, maybe 1 'clock hour. Moynihan dodged and didn't contradict Trump.

CA and several other states have affirmative right to free speech in their constitution -- this has been interpreted so far as to mean that Malls and other public spaces can not censor free speech among the general public (Ref the famous Pruneyard v. Robbins case).
So how has this been allowed for so long? Not just the first, but the 2nd amendment and their debanking of gun businesses as well.
These people are like rats trying to eat my grain stores - they never give up.

Jamie Dimon has supposedly come around to admitting that Trump isn't going to destroy the economy, but eff him anyway. It was only weeks ago that he ditched DEI, at the point of a bayonet. Trump ought to eternally refer to him as "the guy who fell for Charlie Javice."

Tech sites are blaming some assholes in Australia for the Visa issue. Visa would do better to cut off Australia instead.

Seems like I heard violence and, maybe, depictions of minors - even though SCOTUS said that was okay since no actual people are harmed. Won't matter. The Aussie group behind it will go after all games with nudity, then all games with guns, then all games.
Eventually there will be only one game approved for existence anywhere in the world and it will be mandatory that you play it during your 15 minutes of free time daily.

Today I didn't bring a lunch so I thought I'd head to the cafeteria at work, (I know, I know), and when I get there they still had calzones, this almost never happens, with a sign:
PEPPARONI
CALZONE
Calzones are very dear to me, I feel they serve as a reminder of a food preparer's everlasting covenant with the food eater, everything will be fine, here's a calzone. So I joyfully place the calzone in a styrofoam receptacle, pay for it, and hike back the half mile to my lonely cubical.
I sit down and start digging in with my plastic knife & fork. A piece of broccoli falls out, and in my naiveté I think, "oh no! a piece of broccoli fell onto my calzone somehow!".
No.
That mfer was a broccoli fing calzone. Why? WHY?? I'm still asking myself this question.

The banks are in kind of a hard spot. While I don't doubt that upper management strokes themselves at the thought of debanking political enemies, refusing and having the government either take them over or shut them down doesn't help anyone either.
A bigger problem is that this is yet another issue that Trump is having to deal with via EO because the Congress is an enemy of the people.

I don't think an EO is good enough, Republicans should pass a law that forbids debanking on political grounds. A law is much harder to get rid of than an EO and congress members should be on record for either being for or against it.

Not sure. I don't know if political discrimination is illegal, but such a law would almost certainly be a disaster.
A regulatory agency is firmly in the executive's territory within the boundaries laid down by Congress when the agency was formed. If it is out of bounds for a regulatory agency to weaponize itself for political purposes - and I suspect that it is - then no new law is needed. But an EO is appropriate, because it's directly the executive's business. He's setting policy for the agency.
If crimes were committed, there should be prosecutions. But re-asserting policy is proper in this case, I suspect.

The most revered most complicated war game was Campaign for North Africa. Italian units needed more water delivered than UK or Germans to cook pasta. You basically allotted tanks one by one to a unit as they showed up.
I played an Air War tabletop game (jet combat) where each jet had a turn radius rating to compete a 30 degree turn on a hex map.

... As the people might note, the FBI is good at killing 75-year-old woodworkers and women such as Vicki Weaver, who was not charged with any crime.
The FBI proved adept at mounting covert operations against candidate and President Trump, and exploiting FISA to spy on Americans. On the other hand, when it comes to protecting the American people, the FBI is a bust.
The FBI failed to prevent the terrorist attacks of February 26, 1993, September 11, 2001, Fort Hood (2009), the Boston Marathon (2013), San Bernardino (2015), and Orlando in 2016. In 2024 moving forward, it’s all about memory against forgetting.

There is FAR more explicit stuff on steam, but what is odd is that there does not seem to be much... crossover. Adult material in a standard game. That is probably due to ratings system and trying to sell stuff to the kiddies, but it does strike me as odd. You either have sanitized or hard-core porn it seems like (with the aforementioned Mass Effect, Witcher and Baldurs Gate 3 as exceptions.)

And the banking "industry" is hardly an industry at all, it's a regulated utility (actually even more state-run in some ways than actual utilities). So this should go far beyond an EO.
Congress should - if it's not already in the law, which is hard to believe - make it clear that political discrimination in financial activities is absolutely verboten and will be policed viciously. These aren't actual normal companies (includes credit card giants). They're essentially state-run oligopolies now. There should not be one micron of wiggle room for them.
Isn't there a basis for private action (legal) against this outrageous behavior? Hard to believe there isn't. Anyway DOJ should terrorize these idiots into fearing criminal charges more than "regulators".

One thing I hope comes out of all this is strict new laws that recognize banks are a cartel and already so regulated they're effectively a regulated monopoly. As such we need consumer protections like every other monopoly, namely that people who are engaged in legal commerce have a right to access the banking system no matter how unliked they are by those in power.
Posted by: Ace's liver at August 05, 2025 06:32 PM (B9Dv5)
Policed by whom? Banking regulators? The ones who told the banks to do the debanking?
If the government is the problem, passing more laws requiring corporations to obey the government solves nothing.

Once in California. Once here in Kentucky.
They are, by any measurement, a shit bank to do any sort of biz with. Very aggressive with penalties for late payments or sudden changes in credit scores which were to their advantage.
We had both very good credit, and did not miss any payments on any mortgage. But I did use them for a car loan. And attempted to pay it off "before it was approved to be paid off."
Got stuck with a $125 fee. For paying a loan off early.
Assholes.

That's because they don't pay the merchant for credit transactions right away. They effectively have a month to figure out a transaction is fraudulent and refuse to pay.
But they're on the hook for fraudulent debit card transactions, which get posted the same day.

'If we can harass a religious baker into making gay wedding cakes, we can force public banks to store money for everyone or go out of business and go to jail.'
This is the right idea. None of the people who debank or torment observant Christians are my countrymen. They can be dealt with as harshly as needed.

actually Karen...the Texas had 12 inch guns with four 14 inch torpedo tubes above the water. It was the last of the Dreadnaughts.
The ship was retired after WWII and was bought by the state of Texas mostly through donations made by kids in elementary school who were asked to donate nickels. My mom told us a story of collecting those coins.

I don't pretend to understand the nuances of the crypto market, but I know they have less protection in place to counter laundering, fraud and monetary risks in general. Additionally, you're asking a bank to provide services to what could be perceived as a diametrically opposed competitor. Whether you are a supporter of crypto or not, you have to admit that it is not in the best interest of the bank to provide them services.
