(The Center Square)—President Donald Trump confronted Bank of America boss Brian Moynihan in front of the entire world Thursday for not providing banking services to conservatives.
“I hope you start opening your bank to conservatives, because many conservatives complain that the banks are not allowing them to do business within the bank, and that included a place called Bank of America. … what you’re doing is wrong,” Trump said during a question and answer session with corporate leaders and CEOs, who were assembled on stage at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Trump, who spoke by satellite to address the forum, suggested his predecessor – former President Joe Biden – was behind the effort.
“And I don’t know if the regulators mandated that because of Biden or what,” Trump continued, “But you and [JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon] and everybody – I hope you’re going to open your banks to conservatives, because what you’re doing is wrong.”
Moynihan didn’t address Trump’s remarks in his own comments, but congratulated Trump on the U.S. playing host to the World Cup in 2026. The World Cup is a FIFA international soccer championship. Bank of America is sponsoring the tournament.
The Center Square has reached out to Bank of America for comment.
Bank of America, based in Charlotte, North Carolina, is one of the world’s biggest financial institutions, serving about 69 million consumer and small business clients with 3,700 retail financial centers in the U.S.
BoA has had a bad reputation since the 1950’s as far as my parents were concerned.
I had a secured credit card with them in the 90’s, it took 6 months to get my money back, and they hit me with a 30 dollar fee to refund my money, yet I never carried a balance.
They served a purpose at the time, but I will not do any business with them again, same thing with Wells Fargo.
I worked for them for several years until Christmas Eve 2003 when they did a mass layoff. Talk about stabbing people in the back!
A number of the ladies I worked with had just been taken on as permanent employees, then poof half the company is let go. You should have seen the water works.
Management was afraid I was going to kill them, but, the industry collapsed, they became unemployed with a huge debt load. I went back to truck driving.
Sometimes your degree is useless, and a CDL is your strongest asset.
“Wrong?” How about CRIMINAL?
Back in the 1980s, I enjoyed my relationship with Bank of America. Some years later, I found it to be an organization I did not need. Now, the branch bank closest to me, a Bank of America, has closed. I understand the difficulties many banks currently encounter. But, treating customers well does make a difference.
I heard this guy does not pay his bills @lease that what Dustin Nemos says
If Trump keeps doing what he has been doing for the last 72 hours, he is indeed going to become seriously popular. I just hope it is all for real and not just a lead in for a much more sinister agenda.
