Barron Trump was denied a bank account because of the “cancel mob,” Melania claims in a new book

Barron Trump was denied a bank account because of the “Cancel Mob,” former first lady Melania Trump reveals in her new book.

In her memoir Melania, the former first lady talks about the “toxicity of cancel culture” she experienced after leaving the White House, just weeks after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Former President Donald Trump was politically controversial for his role in the brutal insurrection, but Melania writes that she and Barron were affected too.

“I was shocked and dismayed to learn that my long-time bank had decided to terminate my account and deny my son the opportunity to open a new one,” she said. “This decision appeared to be based on political discrimination and raised serious concerns about civil rights violations.”

She called it “disturbing” that a financial services institution could discriminate “based on political affiliation.”

Melania said she even had trouble getting involved in charity work.

The former first lady started Fostering the Future after leaving the White House and decided to help children in foster care.

She wrote in the book, published Tuesday, that a “leading technology education company” had agreed to partner with the nonprofit until Melania's involvement became known.

“Despite my efforts to focus solely on the children’s education and my willingness to avoid any public association with the program, the school stood firm and terminated the agreement,” she said.

“It has been concerning to watch people who claim to care about the well-being of communities take actions that harm those communities,” she continued.

She said she believes the trend is “escalating uncontrollably.”

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

“These ideologues, who often lack basic decency, can inflict collateral damage on innocent people.” “It is clear that these self-proclaimed “activists” have little regard for the consequences of their behavior, even when it negatively impacts the people who supposedly close to their hearts,” she continued.

Melania then recalled another nursing event she was scheduled to attend that was canceled after “the organizer and his family, including several senior employees, faced harassment from the New York Times and social media activists.”

“Ultimately, because of this pressure, the incident never occurred, leaving foster children the primary victims,” the former first lady said.

The bank account incident didn't particularly upset Barron Trump, who graduated from high school in May and is now a freshman at New York University.

When asked how the 18-year-old was doing in an interview Tuesday night on Fox News Channel's “The Five,” Melania said his college career was off to a good start.

'He's doing great. He loves his classes and his professors. He's fine. He strives for it and enjoys being part of it New York City again,” she said.
