    WASHINGTON/NEW YORK, Aug 5 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he believes that banks, including JPMorgan (JPM.N), opens new tab and Bank of America (BAC.N)

    discriminate against him and his supporters, as he prepares to act against banks for allegedly dropping customers for political reasons. Trump also said the country’s top two lenders had previously rejected his deposits, ramping up his attack on the industry.

    Just in case anyone was wondering if the discrimination was against marginalized people or something like that.

      But that’s the entire reason why Donald Trump went into politics in the first place. His banks were dropping him because he had a bad track record of running companies into bankruptcy and sticking his banks with the bill. Even if he structured his businesses so that he was not legally liable, banks can still take that into account when deciding to offer him more credit.

      But have a successful run for office and now… poof! Everything he doesn’t like is now politically motivated!

        It’s basically what he wants to do, open a new tab at the bar and stick JP Morgan with it.

    being a stupid moron who bankrupts businesses, doesn’t pay his bills, abuses the trust blindly given by voters, habitually violates the law, rapes and assaults women and girls, and has a self-inflicted skin ‘condition’ is not a protected class.

    The leopard is going for the banks.

    I almost feel bad, but ultimately US banks taking on a bunch of obviously bad debt from stupid people might just be another blow to US financial hegemony.

    I’m not against the US, I am against Trump’s US, which is blatantly corrupt.
