Melania Blames ‘Cancel Mob’ for Bank Snubbing Barron
New and strange insights from Melania’s memoir.

Fresh and illuminating insights from Melania Trump’s weird memoir: Shortly after her husband Donald left office, their son Barron was denied an account at whatever bank Melania uses, according to the New York Post. Not only that, she reportedly writes, but this institution also “terminated” her account, in a double-barreled act of presumed “political discrimination.” It may be worth noting that many banks require individual clients to be at least 18 years old, which Barron wasn’t in early 2021. Melania neither named names nor specified the type of account Barron sought to open, so it’s difficult to speculate too much; anyway, she blames the “venom of cancel culture” for the rejection, which she believes raises “serious concerns about civil rights violations.” This is just one of many crimes Melania claims the “cancel mob” has committed against her family. You’ll have to read the book for the full list, or if you aren’t willing to do that, consult this handy guide we made for you.
