> He definitely was debanked for political reasons and not because he was laundering money. What proof do you have? On what planet would major banks piss off the most capricious and unrestrained president in modern US history? What possible upside could there be for them? Trump (34 time fraud felon known for scamming everyone he can and using his position in government to massively enrich himself) was almost certainly "debanked" because he is doing more of the same shady shit that he's known for and the banks are obligated by the law to treat him like anyone else.

I think the parent post was sarcasm. Capital One closed hundreds of Trump's accounts in 2021. Trump is suing them, claiming it's a political debanking. CapOne fighting back because they feel their AML team was correct to close those accounts. https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/capital-one-says-it-closed-trump-organizations-accounts-after-anti-money-2026-08-01/ https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/capital-one-says-it...

  Thanks, I misread the parents sarcasm for garden variety MAGA comment.

My post was sarcastic. July 12th Capital One said they closed accounts due to AML concerns. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/capital-one-close-trump-accounts/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/capital-one-close-trump-ac...

  My bad. I hear stuff like this all the time, not expressed sarcastically.

Congratulations on your humour bypass! I hear it's a difficult surgery. You must have had a good surgeon.

  And to think I have censored my "Welcome to the Internet, where you will find post-flatearthers that believe in the shape of a 2.5d Moebius bottle". Given the type of things vocal people believe, no, posters must know we cannot assume people be joking.

    > He definitely was debanked for political reasons and not because he was laundering money. No, if this was serious, it would read "he was definitely debanked for political reasons. He was not laundering money". Or even better, it would have deflected and claimed something unrelated about Hunter Biden or Hillary Clinton. Although I have to grudgingly accept that not everybody is fluent in sarcasm.
