Former First Lady Melania Trump has disclosed that her son, Barron, was denied a bank account following the events of January 6. In her newly published biography Melania, she described how a long-time bank terminated her account and refused to allow Barron to open his own due to their political affiliation.
Melania expressed her frustration, stating that the decision seemed rooted in political discrimination. She warned that this type of action raises serious concerns about civil rights violations and criticized the increasing influence of “cancel culture” in financial services.
Shameful 😠
Barron Trump was DENIED a bank account because of the 'cancel mob', Melania claims in new book https://t.co/E2RqzSVvoZ via https://t.co/NpTJzIQSOa— Cee Cee (@Cee_Ceelicious) October 9, 2024
Her professional ventures have also suffered due to political bias. Melania recounted how a private equity group withdrew its support from a media project she was involved with, attributing the decision to their personal dislike for President Donald Trump.
The former First Lady also discussed her “Fostering the Future” initiative, aimed at helping foster children through scholarships. She revealed that a tech-education company had ended its partnership with the program after realizing her involvement, despite her efforts to avoid public association with the initiative.

On a more positive note, Melania shared that Barron is adjusting well to college life in New York City. He is currently enrolled at New York University’s Stern School of Business. Despite the challenges they have faced, Barron is thriving in his academic environment, and Melania expressed pride in her son’s resilience.
Melania had her bank account closed and Barron was denied the right to open one because their name is Trump. I hope she names and shames and sues the bank. https://t.co/pyw897yvqm
