Melania Trump Debanked over ‘Political Affiliation’
by
Former First Lady Melania Trump has revealed that she had her bank account shut down and her business contracts canceled over her “political affiliation.”
During a new interview with Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo, Melania Trump revealed she has been the victim of a “canceling project.”
In the interview, she recalled how a university refused to accept her donation for foster children after she left the White House.
“Because of the board directors, they call back, they find out that it was me… They said: ‘We cannot go on’,” Mrs. Trump said.
“And it’s very, very sad, because who suffered?
“They were children from [the] foster community.”
“They didn’t want to do business with me because of political affiliation, my political beliefs,” she explained.
While she did not name the university, it was previously reported that Holberton School, a software engineering university in Tulsa, Oklahoma, had declined a donation from Mrs. Trump.
Julien Barbier, the chief executive of the school, said at the time they had not been able to “reach an agreement on the logistics of the scholarship.”
Mrs. Trump also described how she was debanked and told that her bank could no longer “do business” with her.
“The bank suddenly informed me they will not be able to do business with me anymore,” she revealed.
Moreover, she described how an “email distribution service provider just rapidly terminated my agreement.”
These cancellations, according to Melania Trump, were due to her “beliefs” and “political affiliations.”
The issue highlights a troubling trend of service denial as a political weapon.
In her upcoming memoir, Mrs. Trump also gives an insight into her relationship with her husband, revealing that he calls her personal doctor to check up on her health.
According to The Daily Beast, which obtained an early copy of the book, she said as she got to know her future husband she discovered that he was a “gentleman, displaying tenderness and thoughtfulness.”
She adds: “For example, Donald to this day calls my personal doctor to check in on my health, to ensure that I am okay and that they are taking perfect care of me.
